在哈利波特中扮演罗恩的演员鲁伯特·格林特，最近不幸感染了猪流感。这对于正在拍摄的哈利波特终结篇并不是什么好消息。因担心传染剧组的其他演员及工作人员， 摄制组不得不安排鲁伯特暂停一周的拍摄，回家修养。

与此相比，霍格沃茨魔法学校并没有遭受伊顿公学那样的厄运，这所英国著名的私立中学今年５月曾因发现猪流感病例而被迫关闭１周。

值得庆幸的是，一向福大命大的罗恩此次也有惊无险。据说，他近来恢复得很不错，并将参加本周二在莱斯特广场举行的哈利波特之混血王子的首映。

至今，英国确诊的猪流感病例已高达7400例，并已造成4人死亡，每天有几百人确诊为猪流感患者。英格兰首席医务官利亚姆·唐纳森爵士的预测更让人不敢掉以轻心。今年的首映式现场或许会发放哈利波特限量版纪念口罩呢！

       

  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.
