It's wonderful to see that Rupert's movie has done so well! I don't think he's gotten nearly as much recognition as Dan and Emma have so it's nice to see him finally get something of just his own.

Oh this is great, more HP star movies! I wonder how they find the time to do all of this with school and Harry Potter. That's nice. And they're going to release Driving Lessons in the States! Great, I'd love to watch it. :)

What does limited release mean? Well, I hope we get some pictures from the event. I really want to see Driving Lessons, and Snow Cake... probably. I don't know much about it, but the plot for Driving Lessons seems funny - and it's not just because it had Rupert!

Ah, finally we have a release date for Driving lessons! I've been waiting ages for that one. Now all that's needed to complete my day is the publishing of the release date for Snowcake.

I can't wait to see the movie. It's hard to imagine Rupert as anyone else but Ron, and it is kinda funny that his mom in HP now plays his employer. That's going to be kind of hard to get around.

Loking forward to this movie but it seems to have taken an age to get released. At least we have a date now. I'm orried that if this is a more mature role for Rupert it'll make me cringe as I love him as the innocent Ronald Weasley. But i have confidence in him to pull this off.
