Rupert Grint received little sympathy from his Harry Potter co-stars as he battled the ravages of swine flu.

The actor had to take five days off filming after coming down with a bout of the illness.

But friend and co-star Daniel Radcliffe was having none of it, jokingly casting aspersions over the severity of Rupert's malaise in the process.

"He's fine, he's fine. He was probably faking it, old sick note," the Harry Potter actor said at the New York premiere of the latest Potter film.

Daniel added: "He'll be back filming on Monday. And if he not I'll have to kick him out of bed."

It was a typical response from Daniel, Rupert said in response.

"I'm not surprised. I didn't go into work for five days though, it was quite a weird thing coming down with swine flu," he said.
