Rupert Grint will reprise his role as Ron Weasley, a character from the "Harry Potter" film series. This comes 15 years after his last portrayal of the character. The official account of the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" announced Grint's return to the role he played in eight films between 2001 and 2011.

Grint will join the Broadway production in New York, starting on February 2, 2027, for 17 weeks. An accompanying video showed part of Ron Weasley's costume and a script with the British actor's name. Further details about the production and Grint's involvement are available from the source.

The announcement follows a similar one from Tom Felton in June 2025, regarding his own participation in the play.
