Rupert Grint 'autograph ban' (updated)
 

The Sun ... is reporting that pupils at Richard Hale School in Hertford have been banned from asking Rupert Grint for his autograph. They claim that anyone who does so will receive a detention.


NOTE: The Sun is a tabloid newspaper so take this with a pinch of salt.

It's also worth mentioning that Rupert finished school last summer; he stated so in an interview with The Guardian newspaper in November last year.

lol that is a very grown up thing to say...

THe sun is the best tabloid for talking utter rubbish!

And I love them for it, in a way. But I wanted to post this to make sure that people knew it's most likely rubbish and to not believe it.

I agree... but i wonder how there staff get paid for being wrong?

argh.
 

*mumbles angrily, walks away while throwing coffee at computer monitor.*

i think that was the only thing fit to convey how i feel about this tabloid.

roar.

karen, perhaps that's their policy. "Have you ever told lies and got away with it? Did your teachers always call you "the bad kid"? Then call at The Sun because we have the job for you." :rolleyes:

So this means that after doing his GCSE's Rupert's not going to continue studying right?

Or how they even qualify to call themselves journalists. Of course, there could be a chance Rupert is wrong and he didn't in fact finish school. But I think the boy himself would be most likely to know what he's doing :lmao: And if he says he finished school ... quite frankly, I believe him over The Sun anyday.

He did his GCSE's last summer; Dan did his this year. Rupert then went on to say in November that he'd finished school. Case closed.

No it think Rupert finished school last summer! so he has been finished for a year!

See that's what happens when I get the tenses wrong. :head: Thanks for answering though. I still find it weird that one doesn't continue studying, but that's probably just me. *shrug*

you dont have to in the Uk you can leave school at 16.. and Rupert is probaly one of those peopel who knew that school wont help him in his job... and well he is a good actor and already has done films outside potter!

Well a lot of people do. But at 16 the child labour laws end. Which means as an actor they can work more hours. And really if you're as famous as them you don't need to do A Levels as much as say ordinary kids do, because they've already got an occupation. Having said that an article did say Dan was going to continue studying.

I know. We have the same educational system around here. Maybe it's just me having always been taught that you need to keep going higher and higher. Meh.

But I guess in Rupert's case, who also seems to be a very promising actor, he can just continue acting without any problems like school.

I remember Dan said he wanted to continue studying in one interview. There will probably be a number of the other HP actors who will continue. If I recall well, Tom Felton for example said he would.

hasnt TOm left school as well? he wants to go to college..

Tom is 17/18 so he may well haev actualy finished school.. i know i finished school when i was 17 adn i went right through tot he end.

That is so stupid! What on earth! I think it sounds like a load of rubbish! I dont think much of The Sun. I say its a silly little story just to fill a space!

Agreed!!!

After HP, something about fishing college. He's 18 in a few days.

Rupert is so lucky to have finished school now! In Australia you can drop out in year 10 which means you will be 15/16. How old is Dan? And isnt Rupert the oldest of the 3?

Yeah he is.. Rupert is 17, Dan 16 and emma 15

lol... The Sun makes me sad.... I don't think this is true, considering he's "done" school... Oh well... I was hoping to move to that school just to get his autograph... who cares about detention?!

WOW, what the driving age limit in London?

in the UK the age is 17! but you can drivre on pivate land before that

The driving age is 17. That quote is from when he was 16, last year.

it is :D only 2 days ago i was reading it and it had pictures from GOF and in the writing it said Harry has his first kiss with cho chang in the movie...i was like...WRONG!!! lol

:worried: I think I'll believe Rupert when he says he finished school... Hehehe The Sun.



Gar, ahoy, maties! :pirate:

Whaha, did they really say that. That boy is finished with school *me jealous, I still have one year*

:) tabloids give me a nice little laugh.. lol.

hahaha...that's a funny article....at first, i was like....hmmm sad for the kids who are so close to him and can't even ask for an autograph....but it's sooo funny....The Sun...hahahaha

lolz the sun r retarded, dey sud get their facts straight first. every1 nos hes finished skool, but hey trust da sun 2 make nethin up 4 a story

that's a little harsh don't you think, giving them detention,i'm mean if i went to school with him i would have been one of the first in line for a autograph, i think he should be chuffed people want it in the first place.

There are so many bad rumors we need a rubbish bin like JK. We'll call it "The Salt Barrel" cause the "grain of salt" phrase is becoming incredibly common.

Yes,yes ...the sun again *sigh*
Well at least we've got something to laugh ;)
And maybe th ban is still aktive and they recieve detention ... who knows :lol:

LOL I love tabloids. I mean, this story is a bit stupid any ways, isn't it? Not only because Rupert has mentioned he's out of school, but it's 4 movies and several years later and they're just not doing a story on asking for autographs in school? I mean, at least do a 'story' like this when it's early on in their career and people are star struck. :p

lol, i guess going to a school you've been to for a long time...shouldn't be too much, but i guess for rupert...it is for him, :lol:

The article is talking about past events. I've seen a scan of it (will add in a minute). Why bother printing an article about something that happened well over a year ago? Need to fill space eh? :lmao:

If I went to school with Rupert I would want to be his bestfriend!

LOL Evidently! That's just hilarious.

lol...*mumbles*

That's so rubbish!!!! <_<

mmmmm..... rupert lucky he got 2 leave school!! *sigh***** well hes a good actor ! the sun newspapper is toal junk wat rubbish!!!

the sun? *turns and leaves*

The Sun really does write the biggest rubbish.

"Rupert Grint...our new celebrity"

I'm sure at least one of his teachers was dying to say that

WOW!! Very interesting!

Thats interestinhg...but I probably wouldn't be able to help asking for ONE. It would be worth detention. *Evil Rupert fan*

If that was true, that's total rubbish. I would risk a one or a couple of detentions just to ask.

why report such things?? agh..

I couldn't agree with you more..

They even had to mention how much money "they think" he's made from the HP films, and how much his house costs?!

That was sooooo nasty! evil-nasty!!! no respect at all @#$^%&

What if they did the same thing to Dan?! Bcoz I'm sure Dan earned more, he's the lead star! I'm sure Dan and his fans would be very offended too if that happened!

It still is cute I think....

Such a stupid magazine.

I hate unsubstantiated rumours!!! coz I'm so dense i would probably believe them :lol:!!!!! just kidding.......or am I.........:hmm:

Yep, you know that is just like a tabloid! not even doing their homework before they turn in their assignment!
