Rupert Grint Gives Family Tour of Harry Potter Theme Park, To Air on 'Noel's Christmas Presents' this Sunday

During Warner Bros.' Home Entertainment Celebration for the Harry Potter films last month, Rupert Grint met up with a special family to give them a tour of the Harry Potter theme park. The Carter family has been going through a rough time since losing a loved one in 2009; as an early Christmas present, TV presenter Noel Edmonds treated the family to a trip to Florida.

Rupert, who played Ron Weasley in the films, surprises Steve and the children by entering The Three Broomsticks as they sip butterbeer.

When he asked the kids, Cameron (9) Ethan (7) Aaron (4), and Leah Grace(2) about their favourite part of the park they say the Dragon Challenge ride.

Rupert, 23, replied: “I went on it four times in a row, after a lot of these(Butterbeers). I did not feel good."

Smiling Rupert then takes the family off to get souvenirs, telling them: “You can’t come here without getting a wand.
 
“I would keep them in the box though, in the wrong hands they can be pretty dangerous. So be careful."

Rupert's tour with the family will air this Sunday during "Noel's Christmas Presents" on Sky1 at 6:30 p.m.
