Trump ‘happy’ Prince Harry and Meghan have left U.S.

Rupert Grint, the former child star of the Harry Potter film series, is set to reprise his role as Ron Weasley in a new Broadway play. Grint, now 38, will join the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as the adult version of the beloved character, beginning in February. The play follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as grown-ups, 19 years after the events of the original books and films.

In the new installment, Ron and Hermione are married and have a daughter who attends Hogwarts. Grint expressed his excitement about the opportunity to revisit his iconic role, stating that it feels both familiar and fresh. He is the sole main character from the films to return to his original role, while Tom Felton is reprising his portrayal of Draco Malfoy.

Grint, who originated the role of Ron Weasley at the age of 11, has since appeared in various TV shows and Broadway productions. The producers of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child praised Grint's dedication to the character, noting that his performances have defined the concept of loyalty and bravery in the face of adversity.
