Seriously guys, swine flu is just influenza, I live in Nottingham UK and every school around us has at least a few cases, this is so not a big deal.

This is the by far the CRAZIEST and SCARIEST HP news we've had in awhile. I can't believe he got swine flu! I thought you could only get it in Mexico?! I'm so relieved he's okay! Poor Rupert!

whoa, wait, what?

If the Wizards are catching Swine Flu, what chance do we have?!?!?!?!?!?! Only joking, get better soon Rupert, you are a superb actor and you portray Ron really well! I'm glad it was only mild.

Ah well, at least it's not spattergroit. Get well soon!

I hope this isn't too serious and Rupert is able to get back up and filming, and I hope the others don't get especially Dan or Emma.

The Swine Flu is just an overdramatized cold because this world lives off of Alarmism...

Naww, poor baby.

All of you people who keep saying the Swin Flu is no big deal or is overly dramatized are STUPID!! Swin Flu can be very deadly if you have a bad flu. I live in Ohio and someone, who was very healthy, just died from it not to far from where I live. Mild cases, like the one there saying Rupert has, can be deadly to people with compramised immune systems or the elderly. I have had a transplant, which means my immune system is compramised and my doctors are contantly telling me to tell them if I get sick, even with something that seems like a cold. So for those people who are trying to say the Swin Flu is nothing to worry about, why don't you do some research before giving out stupid and false information!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! you've got to be kidding me! SWINE FLU???? read the complete report here: www.hetalcb.drag onadopters.com

Piper, I have done my research. Here in the UK they aren't treating swine flu, you are only required to report that you have the flu if you have any underlying illness. There have been 7,500 confirmed cases in the UK and 4 deaths. There have been nearly 40,000 confirmed cases in the US and 186 deaths. Don't get me wrong it's awful that these people have died. But in the grand scheme (500,000 people dying a year of influenza worldwide) it's not the catastrophe the media have made it out to be.

Sorry, but anyone else think this is probably just regular flu he had?


Posted by Volde_mort Jul 5th 2009

Quick, call Madam Pomfrey! Hope he gets better soon.


Posted by Volde_mort Jul 5th 2009

Quick, someone call Madam Pomfrey! I hope he gets better though.


Posted by blustar Jul 5th 2009

naw, poor Rupert! that's odd that he has caught Swine Flu when I live where there's an epidemimc of it and I'm fine! im glad to hear he has recovered :)

@iwantorlando05 "I thought you could only get it in Mexico?!" seriously?! have you ever watched the news?!?! it started in Mexico, but it has now spread to many countries in the world. There have been over a thousand cases in the UK, but only a few deaths.


Posted by DraconianDevil Jul 5th 2009

Cunningly evasive of you, Rupert. You needed to have hidden that matter, and have things under control. If we'd known you had swine flu, we'd start taking it outrageously... like we have now. The news would naturally spread across the globe.

LOL


Posted by 747HPManiac Jul 5th 2009

Oh my word!!!! Swine flu! I hope he gets well reeeaaally soon!!! The fans are praying! :'(


Posted by Slytherin15 Jul 5th 2009

AWWWEE!!! Feel better! :(


Posted by bubblegum555 Jul 5th 2009

If you guys actually read the article, he can go to the premier cause he's not contagious anymore. Besides, Swine flu isn't a big deal, it's about as much of a death sentence as the regular flu and you don't see people freaking out over that. The media is what's caused the panic becuase that's how the media makes money. He's fine.


Posted by krazykobra29 Jul 5th 2009

WAAAT?!?!? he had SWINE FLU??? i dont believe it! he better not be sick at the premieres haha. i never thought one of the trio or even any of the cast would get it!!


Posted by bekabee Jul 5th 2009

Oh my god, I hope he's okay!!


Posted by sharisters1 Jul 6th 2009

I'm sure he will be fine, seeing as swine flu is no worse than the regular flu, which people get all the time!


Posted by MysTerY_AngEl Jul 6th 2009
