It was only a matter of time before a celebrity came down with swine flu, and Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is the unlucky first.

The 20-year-old is under quarantine after contracting the virus and has had to take time off from filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

His publicist confirms, "Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu."

Luckily Rupert hasn't been affected too badly by the virus — which has killed 332 people worldwide — and he's expected to be on his feet again to join his castmates at the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tomorrow.

Let's hope he wears one of those masks!
