Rupert Grint is poised to make a much-anticipated return to the role of Ron Weasley, this time stepping onto the Broadway stage for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This marks a significant moment for Grint, as he revisits the character more than a decade after the Harry Potter film series concluded. Theatergoers can expect to see Grint take on this iconic role for a 17-week engagement starting in February 2027.
Having portrayed Ron Weasley alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in all eight Harry Potter films, Grint expressed excitement about returning to the character. “Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can’t wait to meet him again at this stage of life,” he shared. For Grint, the experience is both nostalgic and fresh, as both he and Ron Weasley are now depicted as fathers in this stage production.
Grint’s upcoming performance follows closely behind that of Tom Felton, who recently took to the Broadway stage to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy. Felton’s portrayal will continue until January, adding further depth and continuity to the stage adaptation of the beloved series. Since its debut in London in 2016, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has enchanted audiences globally, selling over 14 million tickets. The New York production alone has amassed over $532 million in revenue.
While Grint is no stranger to Broadway, having made his debut in 2014 with the comedy It’s Only a Play, he has also continued to build a diverse career in film. His acting credits include titles such as Knock at the Cabin, Charlie Countryman, and Nightborn. Now, his return to the magical world of Harry Potter coincides with the development of a new television series for HBO, promising to introduce the enchanting universe to a new generation.
