Rupert Grint, who plays Harry Potter’s trusty best friend Ron Weasley, is getting over swine flu. The British star took a few to several days (depending on who you believe) away from filming the latest film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but has now been able to return to work.  The news comes three days before Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premieres in London.

“It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu,” his publicist Christian Hodell said.

“He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards.”

She said Grint’s doctor had confirmed that Rupert had recovered and was no longer contagious or at risk of infecting others.

“Other scenes were shot in his absence which did not require his involvement and thus filming was not disrupted,” she added.
