Housed in this museum are props from all 5 films including Aragog (!) and some Skiving Snackboxes. Here's what Will Keck had to say about his day with Rupert:

I'd just come from a family reunion in Cape Cod, so I brought with me a bag of the cape's signature salt-water taffy. Rupert and I munched on some pieces in the museum while discussing the Skiving Snackboxes of candy that his character's mischievous twin brothers, Fred and George, sell at Hogwarts... We had a laugh when we realized just how long it takes to chew taffy... I have to say, after experiencing so many spoiled young Hollywood stars, it was a pleasure meeting someone so humble, polite and down-to-earth.

Also included with this interview, is a Q&A about what Rupert thinks will happen in the final Harry Potter book. You can check it all out on this page.

'Thunderpants' To Be Rereleased on DVD in US
To coincide with the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix next month, the Weinstein Company and Genius Products will be rereleasing Rupert's first non-Potter film, Thunderpants! The film will be released on DVD in the United States on Tuesday, July 10th. Thunderpants was originally released in the United Kingdom in May of 2002.
The film has been classified with a PG rating. Special features on the DVD are to include "Patrick Smash's Video Diary" and "The Official Fart Thesaurus."

One thing which has surely grabbed our attention is the DVD's cover which features Rupert's head from when he was younger, pasted onto his character's (Alan A. Alan) body. It's quite clear the purpose of this is for marketing techniques, however that does not make it right!
Thanks to RG.net
