Rupert Grint Set To Carry Olympic Torch



Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is set to join in the Olympic celebrations by carrying the torch through Barnet on July 25.

The star will join athlete Daley Thompson, Olympic badminton silver medallist Nathan Robertson and 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks as the torch passes past Wembley Arena, Middlesex University and Barnet.

The actor is best known for his role in the hit 'Harry Potter' movies, in which he plays Harry's best friend and fellow wizard Ron Weasley.

After Grint's stint the torch will pass by St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge ground, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and a party in Hyde Park, with fundraiser and comedian David Walliams amongst the torch bearers.

I have a soft spot for him, so I'm glad that he's doing something. I just want to always know that he's not sitting idle.

Also, I hope the mods accept my Wiress casting post.

He has been doing something besides this.

Agreed. He was my crush from the movies and I'm glad to see he's still doing things post-Potter.

I love him dearly but he's probably going to be huffing and puffing throughout...he said himself he's not great at running.

I don't even watch doctor who and i'll be upset if David tennant doesn't carry it
minderbinder 17th-Jul-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
I thought Matt Smith was going to carry it?
devon_carrots 17th-Jul-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
I have no clue tbh
stephaniebrown 17th-Jul-2012 04:24 pm (UTC)
didn't he already carry it? through wales, right?
thankshalott 17th-Jul-2012 04:27 pm (UTC)
he did carry it at cardiff bay. i missed it bc i thought it was at like 6pm but it turned out to be 6am the next day. i'd cycled all the way there and i hadn't cycled for like a year and i was all sweaty and gross and then this drunk guy wearing a sombrero started trying to chat me up. it was a poor evening. D:
xpirate_queenx 17th-Jul-2012 05:35 pm (UTC)
I think they gave it to Matt Smith instead. Oh, well.
crystalfairie 17th-Jul-2012 06:37 pm (UTC)
They gave it to Matt Smith to do instead.

Awww, putting the fire in firecrotch.
falloutbi 17th-Jul-2012 04:25 pm (UTC)
Is he the only HP actor to do this?
xpirate_queenx 17th-Jul-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
I think Daniel and Emma are stateside.
snoozeen 17th-Jul-2012 04:27 pm (UTC)
OMG YAY!
satellite__eyes 17th-Jul-2012 04:28 pm (UTC)
Who is actually lighting the flame this year? Do they even announce that yet?
_ochre 17th-Jul-2012 04:30 pm (UTC)
they wanted beckham to do it but he declined
satellite__eyes 17th-Jul-2012 04:32 pm (UTC)
Oh god, that would have been lame af. I want the Queen on a zipline.
crystalfairie 17th-Jul-2012 06:38 pm (UTC)
Apparently he's still in consideration for running with it though.
miss_real 17th-Jul-2012 04:36 pm (UTC)
nope not yet!
snappple 17th-Jul-2012 04:30 pm (UTC)
Am I the only one who still can't get over the fact that Harry Potter ended?

I feel like my Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood.
malone73 17th-Jul-2012 04:33 pm (UTC)
I'm the same way. When I get really bored in the summer sometimes I start thinking to myself, just wait until the next HP film comes out and then I remember :'(
myhipusername 17th-Jul-2012 04:39 pm (UTC)
i keep thinking that around this time last year was when i saw dhpt2 at the movies and how i was SUPER nervous/excited to watch it
starchit 17th-Jul-2012 06:36 pm (UTC)
Yes :'(
crystalfairie 17th-Jul-2012 06:40 pm (UTC)
I had a hard time getting over the fact that it's all over and that books and movie will break all of HP's records. I went to the set tour over at Leavesden yesterday. It gave me such a proper sense of closure. I got into the final part and promptly burst into tears.
haterswannabeme 17th-Jul-2012 04:33 pm (UTC)
yay! love him.
actxappalledx 17th-Jul-2012 04:34 pm (UTC)
Omg, my ginger prince. I can't wait for him to do this :)

Much as I love my pocket prince Dan, I think Rupert is the most talented of the bunch. I hope he carves himself a successful career
