There is something so full-circle and so special about stepping back into Ron\u2019s shoes now when we are both fathers; it is somehow both very familiar and completely new. And the joy of being back on Broadway, this time in a role that defined so much of my life is truly exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time I saw\u00a0<i>Cursed Child<\/i>\u00a0onstage, I was blown away and I can\u2019t wait to set foot back on Platform 9 \u00be and pick up where I left off. I am overjoyed to join this exceptional cast and crew at the Lyric Theatre this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement, producers\u00a0<b>Sonia Friedman<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Colin Callender<\/b>\u00a0said, \u201cRupert Grint\u2019s performance as Ron Weasley in the eight Harry Potter films defined for generations what it meant to be a loyal and brave friend even in the face of adversity and hardship. We, along with all the wizarding world fans around the globe, watched Rupert grow up through his portrayal of Ron while preserving the qualities at the very heart of the character \u2013 his humor, his bravery, and of course, that unmistakably cheeky grin \u2013 like an invisible thread woven throughout the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn joining our extraordinary company onstage at the Lyric Theatre in New York City, Rupert is not simply revisiting a role from his past. He is continuing a journey he began as a child and carrying it forward with all the life and experience he has gained since filming concluded, including a career that has taken him from film to television to acclaimed stage work on both Broadway and the West End. His return creates a powerful bridge between the story audiences first fell in love with and the story of family, legacy and the passage of time that\u00a0<i>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/i>\u00a0carries forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel enormously privileged not only to welcome a world-class actor to our Broadway company, but to welcome back the actor who made Ron Weasley so beloved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As previously announced,\u00a0<b>Tom Felton<\/b>, who appeared alongside Mr. Grint in the Harry Potter films as \u201cDraco Malfoy,\u201d continues in the role he originated through Sunday, January 3, 2027.<\/p>\n<h2><u>More About\u00a0<b>Rupert Grint<\/b><\/u><\/h2>\n<p>Rupert Grint has established himself as a versatile actor across film, television, and theater.<\/p>\n<p>Grint most recently starred in Hanna Bergholm\u2019s film\u00a0<i>Nightborn<\/i>\u00a0which premiered at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, and was released by IFC.
