About me: Currently a married, stay-at-home-mamma and loving it!

I've always thought that Rupert was the best actor of the HP trio so in February 2004 I decided to open a site www.rupertonline.net (RIP baby) to give Rupert's fans the best source for Rupert news possible.

I took over RupertGrint.net in October 2004 and, well, the rest is history...

In general I'm a pretty random person who constantly (and I mean constantly ) tries to think of new ways to update and improve RG.net which has, in turn, turned into a gigantic monster!

Fave Rupert Interview: BeanoMax, Anyone!?

I'm a journalism major studying in Washington DC who spends too much time online chatting and managing websites! I am also a self-proclaimed pop culture addict, and cannot get enough of magazines such as Entertainment Weekly and Empire. However, there are certain publications I wish would cease to exist (I'm looking at you National Enquirer and The Sun...).

My DEDICATION (*ahem*) to the Potter fandom began on exactly November 15, 2002 (Chamber of Secrets!). This also happened to be the same moment I became a Rupert Grint super fan. There was just something about his performance in the film that really captivated me, and I've been a fan of his ever since!

I've considered myself a Rupert fan right from the time Sorcerer's Stone came out. At the time, however, there was only so much fan-obsessing my seven-year-old self was able to do. But, most thankfully, with age, and the acquisition of my own computer, I was able to bring my Rupert-loving to new heights! :)

When I'm not obsessively checking my email, I can be found persuing all sorts of persuits, which include, but are not limited to: writing, reading, making things out of duct tape, listening to music, playing piano, and bungee jumping with my pet Liger (okay, maybe not the last one. But you get the idea).

Hello! I have been a big Rupert fan for a long time, loving how he portrayed Ron Weasley from the beginning. It's brilliant having watched him grow as an actor and I can't wait to see what else he gets up to!

As for myself, I 'study' baking. It's something I've always loved to do, and after having left a graphic design degree last year, I thought I may as well as do something fun! I also love comedy, photography, vinyl records and hats.

I became a fan of Rupert when I watched the first HP movie and thought he was the cutest and funniest kid ever. I felt he would have a great future in cinema and so far he hasn't dissapointed.

I have been a fan of Rupert since HP/SS came out. It was actually Rupert that made me a Harry Potter fan. My little sister rented the movie and I was obligated to watch it with her. To be frank I was in my Lord of the Rings obsession at the time and didn't have time or interest in people with pokey hats and sticks. I found though, that I loved it and I had to go out and buy all the books. I read all 4 that were out at the time in a little over a week and I have been an obsessed Potter fan ever since. But it was Rupert's portrayl of Ron thay got the whole thing started! I thought he was hilarious and sweet, and then I found out he was only 2 years younger than me and I really got obsessed!

Finally in 2006 after moving out of my parents house and finally being able to afford high speed internet, I decided to open a website for my fave HP couple Ron and Hermione. Of course I couldn't just focus on the characters like some fansites because I had fallen in love with the actors as well. So I do have apart of my site that practically worships Rupert. I have also helped out in several Rupert related projects including organizing a fan submissions 20th Birthday present for The DA in collab with RG.net.

When I'm not being obsessed with Rupert...or at least when that's not in the forefront of my mind :D I can be found making fanvideos which I've done since 2006, making graphics, writing fan fiction, and working at my actual real life job as a Preschool teacher. I also find time for my family who I love dearly and my fiance Del who I cannot begin to deserve. I have also gotten my little sister into reading the books now! So busy busy busy, but never too busy to say hi or even to answer a question so feel free to e-mail me!

I'm currently a student in my first year of college. In between schoolwork and trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, I love swimming, drawing, reading, writing, spending time with my friends and family, playing piano, and, though I get made fun of constantly for it, stopping to watch squirrels and pigeons behaving strangely in the city. I can't help it. They're just funny.

Anyway, I've been a fan of Rupert ever since Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone was released. I'm anxious to see where his career takes him, because he's really got the talent, sense of humor, and charm to go far!

I'm a college student working hard to finish up my last semester. I enjoy hanging out with friends, punk and alt rock music, acting, writing, reading, and being generally awesome!

I first became a Rupert Grint fan after watching Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone in theaters. I was so impressed that I began searching for information on him on Potter fansites. Now, I'm really involved in the fantastic Rupert fandom and more excited by Rupert's acting career than ever before!

I started reading Harry Potter when I was seven, and Ron was always my favorite character. Naturally, when the first movie came out, I was most worried about his character. Although sometimes I've thought the movie scripts have dissapointed, Rupert never has!!

In addition to being a rabid Potterhead, I also enjoy singing in my school's varsity choir and show choir, and that's about all I have time for! :)

What a weird feeling it is to see my name on the biggest Rupert Grint site there is! I became a fan of Rupert the 21st of November 2001, when I saw Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. As you can imagine, it rocked the 12-year-old girl's world and left an impact that has led me here. Why Rupert? Because he portrays one of the loveliest fictional characters perfectly, and being a talented and versatile actor (just watch the Department of Mysteries scene in The Order Of The Phoenix), he'll have an amazing career ahead of him. Other than that, I love how he seems like a down-to-earth and polite guy. I really hope to meet him one day! My current favourite of the Potter movies is The Chamber Of Secrets. When it comes to my all-time favourite, I'll have to say The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.

I have been a Potter fan for a decade now, thanks to my sister who introduced the books to me. I study English in university, hoping to translate movies someday. As for my hobbies, I like riding, going to gigs (preferably rock or metal), writing and playing the bass the best I can. I have two guinea pigs and a little house-elf of my own, that is, a kleinspitz called Dobby (independent but shy, just like his namesake).

I'm a senior in university and hoping to eventually work in the film/entertainment industryin some way. I love to travel, watch films, listen to any kind of music, meet people, explore cultures, chat, and many other things.

I became a fan of the Harry Potter series last summer and was really impressed with Rupert (and everyone, of course). I'm really excited to work with this website, have the chance to be in a community that is excited for Rupert as an actor, and has that main focus in mind when reporting and putting the site together.
