Rupert Grint Interviewed at the BAFTAs
Here's Rupert's red carpet interview at the BAFTAs. Of course, he talks about the Ron/Hermione kiss! 
Harry Potter Series Receives Prestigious BAFTA
Here's a video of author J. K. Rowling, producers David Heyman and David Barron, directors Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, and David Yates, and actors Rupert Grint and Emma Watson on stage at the BAFTAs to receive the "Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema" Award for the Harry Potter series.
Stephen Fry, the voice of the British Harry Potter audiobooks, gave the films' creators a wonderful introduction. I enjoyed all of the comments from the various cast members in the video feature that was shown before the award was presented, as well as Heyman's and Rowling's acceptance speeches. I thought that the funniest part of the presentation was when Jo Rowling pulled Rupert Grint closer so that he would be on camera during David Heyman's speech.
Here are some photos from the 2011 BAFTAs:
Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Bonnie Wright on the red carpet
Rupert Grint
Congratulations to the J. K. Rowling and the Harry Potter cast and crew. I'm so glad that they received the recognition that they deserve!
EDIT: Here's a link to a video of J. K. Rowling talking to the BBC News about what new writing projects she's working on now! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/12444611 She has seven projects going at the moment! I wonder if any of them are Harry Potter-related…

Ministry of Magic Fanvideos
Here are some fan-made videos that interpret some of my favorite Ministry of Magic wrock songs.
"Harry Potter Is Dead"
"On the Other Side" is a nice Dumbledore tribute. Death is but the next great adventure.
"Only Power Remains" is the story of Lily and Harry vs. Voldemort.
"Don't Leave" is about Ron leaving Harry and Hermione because of the Locket of Slytherin. It's a Trio friendship song with some R/Hr too if you want to interpret it that way. 
"Sonorous Love" is a post-war Ron/Hermione love song.
Here's a link to the band's YouTube channel if you would like to hear more of their music. http://www.youtube.com/user/Ministryofmagicmusic Listen to "This Town" if you click the link. That's another good song from their newest album.
Ron & Hermione Made the "10 Cute Movie Couples" List!
Here's a link to another movie couples list that includes our favorite sidekicks, Ron and Hermione.

And here's the R/Hr quote from the article:
Rupert Grint and Emma Watson in the "Harry Potter" series – In the beginning, their relationship consisted of Watson's "Hermione" barely tolerating the Grint's "Ron" character. But through their adventures together with Harry, we've see it blossom into young love, with each of them coming to admire the other's courage and loyalty.

Beautiful Ron/Hermione Fan Video; Star Wars Fan Fiction
Here's a lovely Ron/Hermione fan video of the song "Running Back to You" that was made by Luthien3333 on YouTube. Enjoy!
In other news, I just opened an Etsy shop to sell my old Star Wars fanzines. (Before there was an internet, people published their fanfiction and fanart in spiral-bound booklets called zines, which were sold at science fiction conventions and through the mail.) If you know anyone who likes Star Wars fanfiction, tell them about my little store, which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PhoenixWeasley. Thanks!

New Photos: Ron and Hermione at the Wedding; Ryan Turner as Hugo Weasley
I know that many Ron/Hermione shippers frequent this blog, so I'm posting these new photos here for those of you who have not yet seen them. I saw these pictures of our favorite sidekicks in their wedding attire on Tumblr today and knew that you would love them.
Here's an added bonus: a comparison of Ryan Turner (Hugo Weasley) and a young Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). Their resemblance is uncanny!
He's got Hermione's (that's Emma's) freckles. I think little Hugo looks like both of his parents, doesn't he?
