...Rupert when pressed for specifics, utters only an unconvincing , "I can't quite remember now." (It should be noted that he's a much better actor on-screen.)
At almost nineteen, Rupert is the eldest of the trio, but he seems to be a man of very few words. It's not that he's not agreeable; he responds in affirmative even when the actual word he's looking for is "no". A typical example: Asked if he has any particular vacation plans for the period immediately after Phoenix wraps, he responds, "Probably, yeah. No plans at the moment, though." The red-headed - or as the Brits have it, ginger-haired - actor has several traits in common with his alter ego, including a large family (Rupert still lives with his, which includes four younger siblings, in Hertfordshire) and a fear of spiders. But Rupert is apparently a far better gamer: "I golf a bit," he says, "and I go-kart," and his dressing room boasts a pool table, a dartboard, and nearby, a Ping-Pong table at which he frequently beats the pants off poor Dan. "I was looking forward to the Quidditch," Rupert admits - the fifth book has Ron joining the Gryffindor team, but that subplot was cut from the film - "though any stunt stuff is good to do."
Of course, many actors actively dislike anything - like "flying" - that involves harnesses and high-wire work; even Dan reports that "Quidditch is a very painful experience," and that he wasn't all that sad to see it go. But back on the big, busy Phoenix set, it's easy to see how Rupert might muster some genuine enthusiasm for even the most odious parts of what's sometimes called "movie magic". It's amusing, for sure, to see him, Emma, and Dan being reminded by their director to appear approrpriately frightened at the sudden appearance of the malicious Lucius Malfoy - a pointer that's rather unnecessary, considering that Jason Isaacs, the actor who plays the pretty-haired bad guy, is currently looking completely unmenacing, yawning as his long, blond tresses are brushed by a makeup girl. But as the cameras start rolling and a Death Eater wonders, tauntingly, whether or not the trio have ever heard of dreams, it's very clear: They have. Lots and lots of theirs have already come true.
Rupert says in caption: "My hair does stand out, so it attracts attention. It's quite strange being recognized. I'm still getting used to it."
Next you'll find the scanned pages relating to Rupert, so it'll be easier to link to in the first post.

I'm real teed off as well that only Dan and Emma made the cover!!  If someone can explain this travesty, I'd really like to know!! 
Calming down...
