How is he going to show up in the premiere? With a mask on? I prefer he stay home and rest.

i hope rupert gets better soon! if he’s still sick on premiere day he should stay home and rest. i read that 6 people in britain died from swine flu. obviously that doesn’t mean that rupert will die, it’s just scary. there have been some deaths in the usa from swine flu, too. but i read on another site that rupert’s case is mild, but yeah if he’s still sick on tuesday he should stay home. i hope he gets better!

Poor Rupert!!! I hope that he is completely recovered very soon! Hopefully they won’t force him to go to the premiere if he is not up to it-poor guy!
Get well soon, Rupert. I’d hate to see a HP premiere without you.
He’s been declared to be in the non contagious final period of the illness so he’ll be fine to go to the premiere. All of the news articles in the states stated that he had a very mild case of swine flu. He’s fine.
Thank GOD he’s okay!! Apparently Swine flu has been a big problem in the UK and people have been actually dying from it. I’m so glad Rupert only had a mild version! Love you Rupert!
poor rupes! i’m so happy that he’s better now. only 8 days til Hbp!
thank to god he is alright and that he is like my third fave guy. my fave celeb guy list, Robert Pattinson, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, 50cent and also Jared Padalecki.
poor Rupert!!! i am so glad that hes feeling better now. cant wait till hp!!
Poor Rupert!! I am so glad he is feeling better though.
