Rupert Grint will be Ron Weasley again on Broadway

Broadway's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child production has welcomed back one of its original cast members, Rupert Grint, for the role of Ron Weasley. Grint, who played Ron in the film adaptations of the beloved series, will reprise his character's role from February 2 until May 30, 2027. The star of the Harry Potter films expressed excitement about returning to the stage, noting that it's both familiar and fresh to come back as Ron, especially as a father himself.

Grint's presence is particularly significant as most adult characters in the play have limited stage time. Tom Felton, who portrayed Draco Malfoy, is also set to appear, having been a major contributor to the show's success since November 2025. Felton's participation has kept the play at the top of Broadway grosses. Grint's relationship with author J.K. Rowling, the creator of the Harry Potter universe, has been described as "tricky" in the past.
