Cool... cool. They should release it on DVD soon. I'd love to see Rupert as a quirky teen (without the magic guys!). Ahh, he's gonna be so cool to watch, that is, if I get to see him.

It must be quite good if Sony Pictures has snapped it up. Can't wait to see Rupert in something new (As long as he returns to HP at the end of it!)

I cant wait to see this movie. Rupert is so hot. It will be a change to see him not playing Ron but he cant play him forever.
