The Swine Flu has it’s first celebrity victim. Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint has contracted the illness but is expected to be well enough to attend the London premiere of the newest Potter movie next week.

“It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu,” his publicist said in a statement Saturday. He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards,” she reports, adding that filming was able to continue as scheduled in Grint’s absence.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in U.S. theaters July 17.
