Rupert-070609.jpgWell, how's this for a big ol' bag of suck: Harrry Potter actor Rupert Grint has Swine Flu. Gee, that sounds like a swell time. 'Cause nothing beats getting an over-hyped but still very unpleasant strain of flu! Fun times...

Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint has contracted swine flu, but is expected to be well enough to attend the London premiere of the new Potter installment on Tuesday, his publicist confirms.

Grint, 20, who stars in the franchise as kid wizard Ron Weasley, called in sick to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- currently filming in London and set for a 2010 release -- but has since recovered. (Source)

It's times like this I kinda wish the Harry Potter series was real, if only to see how they would treat something like this. Probably some magical mumbo jumbo like Swinefluvious rejuvious
 and a potion made of Hippogriff jizz.

Here's Ron at the photocall for Cherrybomb:

I've made this joke in six different places already, but COME ON: not one media outlet has made a single "Rupert Grunt" pun? I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed of myself.
