Rupert Grint Returning as Ron Weasley for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child on Broadway
Harry Potter movie star Rupert Grint will reprise his character of Ron Weasley next year, as he joins the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Rupert Grint, the beloved Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter movies, will be reprising his role in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This makes him the second Harry Potter movie cast member to return to their childhood role for the play, following Tom Felton who played Draco Malfoy last year. Grint, who is now the right age to play Ron as a young father, expressed excitement about the opportunity to step back into his iconic role.
He said, "Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can t wait to meet him again in this stage of life." He added that it's a unique experience to return to the role now, both familiar and fresh. Grint's Broadway run will begin on February 2, 2027, for a 17-week engagement, but it won't overlap with Felton's extended run, which ends on January 3, 2027.
The producers of the play described Grint's return as a powerful bridge between the original story and the new story of family, legacy, and the passage of time.
