The production will run from February 2 to May 30, 2027 at the Lyric Theatre. Grint, who starred in all eight \"Harry Potter\" movies, expressed excitement about returning to the stage as a father. This will be the second time a \"Harry Potter\" cast member has joined the stage production, following Tom Felton's return as Draco Malfoy. The play picks up 19 years after the events of the final novel, with an adult Potter married to Ginny Weasley and their children in danger once more.",
