US EditionWhy Rupert Grint Wrote a Letter To New Ron Weasley In ‘Harry Potter’ Series
Rupert Grint wrote a supportive letter to Alastair Stout, the new Ron Weasley, encouraging him to enjoy joining the franchise as filming continues for HBO's series.
- Rupert Grint told BBC News he personally wrote to Alastair Stout before filming began, `passing the baton, as it were`, and hopes Stout enjoys the role as he did.
- The series is billed as a faithful expansion of J.K. Rowling's seven books into individual seasons under showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod, airing on HBO and HBO Max.
- Last week Daniel Radcliffe said he wrote to Dominic McLaughlin and conveyed `I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did. I had a great time, but I hope you have an even better one`.
- Amid debate over J.K. Rowling's views, HBO's Casey Bloys said earlier this year the series would not be secretly infused with anti-trans rhetoric and stressed Rowling's views are personal.
- Reflecting on the cycle repeating, Rupert Grint noted a family resemblance with Alastair Stout and said he welcomed the new take, calling it 'a whole new thing' that should be fun, while his future involvement remains a possibility but not a priority.
