'Potter' Star Rupert Grint Hit With Swine Flu

LONDON (CBS) ― The agent for "Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint says the actor is recovering from a mild case of swine flu.

Grint, 20, plays the boy wizard's best friend Ron Weasley in the hit film franchise.

Christian Hodell of Hamilton Hodell management said Saturday that Grint took a few days away from the set of the latest film, but has now been able to return to work and there is no threat of him infecting his co-stars.

"He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards," his publicist told the Daily Mail.
