Hahaha... i love Rupert in Harry Potter, and it would be great to see him in something else! (...though probably a bit weird at the same time.)
Cheers! *S*

I would really like to see that, but I hope it dosent interfere with OotP. It just wouldent be the same without him. But he has done other movies before.....so maybe it will be ok.

Driving Lessons sounda like a good movie. Hope to see it when it comes out. Throughout the movie I am goin to find my self comparing Rupert as Ron to his new character in the movie Driving Lessons.

Its great to see him doing other work, but I hope he sticks with the Harry Potter movies. I can't see anyone else as Ron now.

This I will have to go see, just for more Ron-ness. The Ron power. Kind of like the Ron power in that one cartoon. Wonder if it will be any good.

I'll have to see if it's any good before I'll pass judgement. However, I will say that i am happy that Rupert is trying to break out of the HP mold that he has been cast into. I hope he'll be able to get some good roles that he'll like, while trying not to be character casted into roles that are similar to a 'Ron Weasley'.

I think this is a great chance for Rupurt to explore his boundries and extend himself as an actor! All three need to do projects in between the films to hone their skills and make the next movies even better for all of us!

It sounds like a good movie. I hope that I get to see it. He'll still always be Ron to me though. I'll probably watch the movie and think "where's Harry and Hermione?" (just kidding)

Sounds good,I love anything that's related to Harry Potter... even if it just has an actor that's in the movie that's based on the books... a bit of a stretch, but I'm that obsessed...

Its really good to see Rupert do other projects besides HP. Even if the movie might go down the drain, it will show his acting abilities and show the true actor he is!!
