News about Rupert Grint

As the family, friends and fans mourn for the loss of the of the British iconic actress who died last Friday, the lights of some of renown West End theatres were dimmed in honour of the double Academy Award-winning starwho died aged 89. A video shared online shows the moment several people stopping to film the minutes when the glittering lights which illuminate the street were momentarily turned off at 7pm. It comes as MailOnline revealed images which showed Dame Maggie was on roaring form during a lunch at Lemonia restaurant in Primrose Hill just seven days before she died.

MailOnline can reveal that just seven days before she died, Dame Maggie was on roaring form during a lunch at Lemonia restaurant in upmarket Primrose Hill, where she was a regular. The Harry Potter and Downton Abbey star, fashionably dressed in a loose blue shirt and trousers, ordered fish and chips as she chatted with a female friend at a small table outside. The titan of the acting world, famously described by friends as drinking like a fish and swearing like a trooper, was also spotted perusing the wine menu. And an insider revealed that at one point she 'slipped into character' and ticked off some teenagers who were laughing noisily as they loitered outside. 'Dame Maggie asked them be quiet and be more respectful whilst people were eating', the witness on another table said. 'She was very much in character', they added, admitting it was a thrill because it was like seeing Professor McGonagall or the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey in real life.

It was revealed that the Downtown Abbey actress passed away inside a hospital on Friday morning - and prompted a flood of tributes as celebrities and fans mourned the heartbreaking loss. The 36-year-old actor, who played Ron Weasley in the wizarding franchise, posted his own heartfelt tribute to his main Instagram grid on Saturday.

An original  watercolour drawing by artist Thomas Taylor for the first edition of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone painted by a 23-year-old artist has sold for a record amount at a New York auction. The artwork for the cover of the first book in the series by JK Rowling fetched $1.9 million at a sale by Sotheby's auction house in New York on Wednesday. The first edition copy of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone was thought to be the most valuable Harry Potter item ever sold at an auction from the fantasy series, according to Sotheby's.

JK Rowling has confirmed that the new TV series of Harry Potter will exceed fans 'expectations'. Based on the books by the author, the famous wizarding world was previously turned into films starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Now the long awaited upcoming decade-long TV show is set to feature different stars and has finally found the perfect director and producer. 

Along with their neighbours in the pretty Hertfordshire village of Kimpton, Clifford Harland and his wife Claire could rely on one sure sign that dusk was settling over their neighbourhood. 'The sky would pretty much go black for a moment as the rooks all came flocking back to the forest,' Clifford, a 73-year-old retired agricultural retailer, recalls. Their destination was the thick woodland adjacent to the Harlands' home in a row of 19th-century cottages which forms part of the 22.6 acre estate of Kimpton Grange. Alas, of late, fewer of the birds can be spotted in the skies over the village as night falls. 'The woodland hasn't really been looked after and a lot of the trees have fallen or died so there are fewer places for the birds to rest,' is how Davina Malcolm, Clifford's neighbour a few doors away, puts it. What's more, if one local landlord has his way, there will be even less historic woodland close by - and less too of the accompanying birdlife, bats and stag beetles to which it plays home. In its place will be smart new 'eco' housing in the form of a terrace of two-bedroom homes, alongside five more 'luxury' detached homes further back. That, on paper at least, is the dream of Rupert Grint - the current 'Lord' of Kimpton Grange's manor house, outbuildings and land after purchasing the property 15 years ago at the tender age of 19 for £5.4million courtesy of the fortune he had amassed by playing Harry Potter's loyal sidekick Ron Weasley in the global franchise.

A play due to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer that explicitly criticised Harry Potter author JK Rowling's views on gender is struggling to cast women.  Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter series of children's books, has been harshly criticised for being an outspoken critic of transgender people.  She has been denounced as a 'TERF', short for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, for her views on trans people and their place in society. 

The 58-year-old Harry Potter author has previously been criticised for her staunch views on gender identity, but has always strongly denied accusations of transphobia. She explained her belief in protecting women's sex-based rights in an essay which features in The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht - a forthcoming book on Scotland's battle for women's rights. And she said that had she not spoken out against activism she would have felt 'ashamed for the rest of my days'.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Amassing £20million by the time you're 21 may sound like a passport to a life untainted by strain and strife. But Harry Potter star Rupert Grint may beg to differ - even though, at 35, his fortune has reportedly swollen to well over £40million. Afflicted by kidney stones two years ago - eventually neutralised by laser blasts and the insertion of a stent in a very tender place - he's also developed what he describes as a 'huge fear' of bees, which is quite a problem, given that bee-keeping is one of his hobbies. And now, I can disclose, his plans for Kimpton Grange, the 18th century Hertfordshire pile he snapped up for £5.4million back in 2009 but which he's never lived in, have been deluged with derision - by the local Flood Authority. In a scathing appraisal, it says that Grint's proposals are 'likely to increase flood risk', adds that three 'infiltration' tests were not completed, and points out that he failed to provide 'sufficient information' about 'watercourses that could be utilised for the discharge of surface water'.

Rupert Grint cut a casual figure as he stepped out for a stroll with his partner Georgia Groome in Notting Hill, London on Wednesday. The actor, 35, opted for a laid back look for the day as he sported a black T-shirt with matching trousers and a dark jacket. Georgia also kept it casual as she opted for a grey printed jumper with blue jeans and a pair of black shoes.

Daniel Radcliffe (left) has reignited a row with JK Rowling (right) over trans views by saying his beliefs don't have to align with the author's just because she made him a star. The actor, 34, and fellow Harry Potter stars Emma Watson, 34, and Rupert Grint, 35, have been outspoken in their support of gender ideology - that biologically male trans women are actually women. Yet although Radcliffe admitted 'nothing in my life' would likely have happened if not for beloved author Rowling, 58, he said that didn't mean he didn't owes her 'the things he truly believes'. Despite the multi-millionaire's view that trans women are women, just this week it was revealed the NHS will declare sex is biological. It came after the Cass report found there is 'remarkably weak evidence' for gender-affirming techniques in children such as puberty blockers. It also said that  'for the majority of young people, a medical pathway may not be the best way' to help when they are 'presenting with gender incongruence or distress'.

She won't accept any apology they - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint - might be willing to make, now that the Cass Review has been published - which ­vindicates her views on what she calls 'the catastrophe of child transition'. The weaselly bandwagon jumpers didn't hesitate to kick Rowling to the kerb when she aired her beliefs - widely held by the British ­public - that sex is real and has lived consequences, not least that women's lives are fundamentally shaped by being female.

The Enter The Wizard World Convention in Courbevoie, France, was attended by Rupert, 36, who starred Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown in the films. Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (2009; Lavender and Ron are shown on the film), while Ron begins a relationship with hermione Granger, although he fights his feelings for Hermione Granger. Lavender, a fellow Gryffindor, is known for her secrecy and obsessive, and Ron is given a necklace shaped like a pierced heart at one point as a token of her never-ending love. Rupert and Jessie took over audiences as they recreated the iconic photograph from 15 years ago (right) – their younger selves despite being only 21 and 22 years old during filming.

Rupert Grint, the Harry Potter actor, is facing a slew of questions over his proposal to create a tumultuous new village at his Hertfordshire estate due to bats. Kimpton Grange, the actor who is best known for his role as Ron Weasley in JK Rowling's series, has announced plans to build 15 new houses on his £5.4 million estate near Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Six apartments, five of which will be two-bed with a larger three-bed, could be converted from the 34-year-old's existing manor house under the new program.

At the two-day Enter The Wizard World convention in Paris, fans are cying that it will cost £300 to speak with Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who is estimated to be worth £40 million. "I can't afford to leave a kidney at this first convention that I won't be able to attend," a dissatisfied fan wrote.' Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert's co-star, have previously spoken out against J.K. Rowling's views regarding the trans community.

On Thursday, Rupert Grint enjoyed a family outing in Highgate, London, with his partner Georgia Groome and their three-year-old daughter. As he sported a black T-shirt with matching tracksuit bottoms and a dark green jacket, the Harry Potter star, 35, became a casual figure for the day. As he was trapped in a downpour during the outing, the actor also wore a black cap and camo trainers.

That's wizard, Harry! As Warner Bros' TEN series about a new TV show about 'the boy who lived,' will be released in Leavesden, Herts, a £2 billion Harry Potter bonanza. Production details for the scheme, which will be based on J. K. Rowling's seven favorite books, have yet to be confirmed. However, this week, reports show that the Potter shows are absolutely intending to be shot in the United Kingdom, with British creative and technical talent front and center. The budget is expected to be about $200 million per series, bringing it into alignment with House Of The Dragon, which is also shot on the Warner Bros lot. The company revealed plans for the series in April last year and said it expects to begin filming later this year or early next year, as long as scripts and casting can be settled quickly.

Over the past four days, iconic pieces of Hollywood history went up for auction. Four wands used in the Harry Potter film franchise were among the classic movie props sold at the Robots, Wizards, Heroes, & Aliens: Aliens: Aliens: Contemporary Hollywood Auction Parts from Julian's Auctions. In the end, the four wands far exceeded original expectations set before the auction, as they raked in a total $232,000. Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) used in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, the four most notable of the four, selling for $76,200. It had been predicted that it would sell for $5,000 to $5,000. The winning bid for Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) was $69,850, after pre-auction expected it to sell for $8,000-$10,000.

EMILY PREACHER: When the author became embroiled in a trans rights controversy, actor Evanna Lynch was one of the few Harry Potter actors to support J.K. Rowling (inset). Now Evanna, who played Harry's girlfriend Luna Lovegood in the films, admits she was naive not to expect an online backlash for supporting Rowling. Her activities were in stark contrast to Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, who all slammed the writer.

As they stepped out with their little girl this week, Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome looked every inch the picture perfect family. When walking in north London, Harry Potter, 35, and the Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging actor, 31, sweetly held their daughter's hands. Rupert and his partner were seen strolling along the high street and selling some errands with Wednesday, who is now three years old.

According to a source, EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Sixteen weeks after his Coronation, King Charles has radically reframed his late mother's notion of the 'Family Company,' including Senior Princes, Working Royals, Non-Working Royals, and Others. According to reports, the Others are Andrew, Harry, and Meghan, with Andrew getting preferential treatment over the Sussexes. He was allowed to attend Edward at the one-year memorial service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, but Harry, who was on the same day, refused to obtain permission to pay his respects at her tomb.
