在哈利波特中扮演羅恩的演員魯伯特·格林特，最近不幸感染了豬流感。這對于正在拍攝的哈利波特終結篇并不是什么好消息。因擔心傳染劇組的其他演員及工作人員， 攝制組不得不安排魯伯特暫停一周的拍攝，回家修養。

與此相比，霍格沃茨魔法學校并沒有遭受伊頓公學那樣的厄運，這所英國著名的私立中學今年５月曾因發現豬流感病例而被迫關閉１周。

值得慶幸的是，一向福大命大的羅恩此次也有驚無險。據說，他近來恢復得很不錯，并將參加本周二在萊斯特廣場舉行的哈利波特之混血王子的首映。

至今，英國確診的豬流感病例已高達7400例，并已造成4人死亡，每天有幾百人確診為豬流感患者。英格蘭首席醫務官利亞姆·唐納森爵士的預測更讓人不敢掉以輕心。今年的首映式現場或許會發放哈利波特限量版紀念口罩呢！

       

  Harry Potter and the Deathly Swine Flu: Ron Weasley actor is first celebrity victim of bug

Perhaps he should have been protected by a magic spell....

The actor who plays schoolboy wizard Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films has succumbed to swine flu.

Red-haired Rupert Grint was forced to take a week out of filming the latest instalment in the hugely successful series based on the J.K.Rowling bestsellers.

However, Hogwarts, the fictional school for wizards where Harry and his loyal friends Ron and Hermione Granger battle with the evil Lord Voldemort, is unlikely to suffer the same fate as Eton, which was closed for a week in May when swine flu was reported there.

The 20-year-old actor is said to have fully recovered from his bout of the virus and will be able to join other members of the cast – and thousands of adoring fans – for the premiere of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince in Leicester Square on Tuesday.

In real life, however, Grint was forced to withdraw from the set because of fears that he could infect his fellow cast members.

Swine flu is infecting hundreds of people a day in Britain, and has already resulted in four deaths.
