Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in all eight Harry Potter films, will return to the role in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Grint will perform a 17-week run in the Harry Potter stage show, from 2 February through 30 May 2027.
Ron appears as an adult in the Cursed Child play, set 19 years after the events of Deathly Hallows, which made its debut in the West End in 2016. Originally a two-part play, the show is now performed as a streamlined single-night production.
Of the return to the ‘Potter’ world, Grint said:
“Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can’t wait to meet him again in this stage of life. There is something so full-circle and so special about stepping back into Ron’s 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. The first time I saw Cursed Child onstage, I was blown away and I can’t wait to set foot back on platform 9 ¾ and pick up where I left off. I am overjoyed to join this exceptional cast and crew at the Lyric Theatre this winter.”
Grint joins fellow Harry Potter actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), who is currently reprising his role in the Broadway production. The two won’t cross paths; Felton finishes his Broadway run in January and Grint begins a month later. Tickets are available on the official Cursed Child website.
