BIOGRAPHY
Rupert is born on August, 24th 1988 and is the eldest of five children. His brothers and sisters are James (11) Georgina (8) Samantha (6) and Charlotte (3) (January 2002). His only appearances before 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' as an actor was in school productions with the local theatre drama group where he played the role of Rumplestiltskin in the Grimm Tales and other things.
"After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before," says Rupert. Who can blame him? He, the son of Nigel, 38, a race-car memorabilia dealer, and Jo, 34, a homemaker, Rupert lives in Hertfordshire, England, where until recently he was just another soccer-loving schoolboy. That was before he spotted an announcement for Potter auditions on a kids' TV show in May 2000 and composed a rap song promoting himself for the role of Harry's affable buddy Ron Weasley. "My mum filmed it," says Grint, now 13. "It was a bit dodgy (rough). But it worked."
From that time on his life changed dramatically. Let's all hope that he will alsways be just as normal as a star can be!
