Rupert Grint is set to return to the “Harry Potter” franchise by reprising his role as Ron Weasley in the Broadway production of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” Multiple outlets report that he will play an adult version of the character in the stage show.
The announcement ties back to Grint’s film portrayal: he played Ron Weasley in all eight “Harry Potter” movies, and outlets note that his last appearance as Ron on screen came with the 2011 film. The Guardian adds details about the engagement, saying Grint will join the long-running production for a limited run of 17 weeks starting in February 2027.
Across coverage, the main emphasis is consistent: Grint’s casting brings a familiar face back to the role on Broadway, and it positions him alongside a broader trend of returning actors reprising roles in stage adaptations. One outlet also notes that he follows in the footsteps of another “Harry Potter” star who has already reprised their character.
