Rupert Grint (aka Ron Weasley) from the Harry Potter movies is in New York this weekend to attend a showing of his movie
Driving Lessons at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
Last night Rupert attended an event at the festival, also in attendance was actress Laura Linney who portrays his mother in his new film. You can see some photos from the event here courtesy of Wire Image.
Rupert will attend the 8:30 pm showing tonight of his movie and tickets may be available at the door (no promise of availability). If you attend please let us know by sending some photos our way.
Thanks Page.
UPDATE: Thanks to Mark for sending over a video (in Quicktime, he apologizes for the quality of the sound) of Rupert's appearance this morning on Fox's Fox & Friends. You can also view the same video on RupertGrint.net in Windows Media.

That is really intrwting. I can't wait to see the move, as I am also learning to drive myself, and I am sure that I would be able to laughs at the mistakes that Rupet has made in the movie.

Cool. I hope it went well. Too bad the sound wasn't a little better on the video, at least on my end. Would be fun to some how get to see the movie sometime too.

I am really happy that Rupert did this movie. It is good for him because he is acting in other types of environment that help him become a better actor. It helps him too because he can bring new strategies of acting to the set of Harry Potter.

Yet another appearance by one of the Hogwarts 3... They are popping up everywhere. I would be so proud to be in their position... It must be great to be part of something so big like Harry Potter.

Rupert really needs this crossover success as he will always be identified as Ron Weasley in whatever he does. He should just start going by Ron now.
