British actor said to have a mild case of the illness.

Rupert Grint, star of the "Harry Potter" film series, is recovering from a mild case of the swine flu, reports E! Online.

Grint, 20, plays Harry Potter's best friend, Ron Weasley, in the film version of J. K. Rowling's popular book series.

The actor who plays Harry Potter's sidekick was forced to take a break from filming to recover from "a mild bout of swine flu," Grint's publicist said.

Grint's publicist has announced that his client is back to work at the set of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the next installment of the "Harry Potter" film series.

The British actor's doctor confirmed Grint was no longer contagious, which has allowed the actor to join his cast mates for premieres and media appearances for the latest release in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

The newest edition in the film series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," hits theaters July 15.
