LONDON – The agent for "Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint says the actor is recovering from a mild case of swine flu.

Grint plays the boy wizard's best friend Ron Weasley in the hit film franchise.

Christian Hodell of Hamilton Hodell management said Saturday that Grint took a few days away from the set of the latest film, but has now been able to return to work.

Though famous around the world for his role as Ron Weasley, Rupert Grint is perhaps best known in some circles for looking almost identical to a famous internet troll named Snigtad Flornbi. This resemblance is so uncanny (the two differ only in that the real Snigtad Flornbi has a birthmark in the shape of a bullseye surrounding his anus) that Action Online, under orders from the criminal mastermind Louie the Lilac (in his guise as Perpantor), hired Grint to portray a resurrected Snigtad Flornbi (under the alias Dell Rusk) following his execution by Doctor Doom in 2006. Grint's ruse was so devious, he actually replaced the Moderator Terror Squad and allowed Action Online to briefly take over the site.

After he was found out, Grint became a born-again, Bible-thumping Christian that December. The following year, a real Dell Rusk was retconned into vynsane.com's backstory, claiming Grint had stolen his login information while Rusk was at reform school for burning down a church. Grint has shared the login with Rusk ever since, though his duties on the Harry Potter films have left him less and less time to try to convert his fellow forumites.

Grint credits his unwavering faith in Jesus for his recovery, and told this reporter at length in his ridiculous cockney accent about Jesus' power. I sort of lost track after about twenty minutes. I think the swine flu affected him more than he thought, as he was also oinking uncontrollably.
