Rupert Grint will reprise Ron Weasley for a 17-week Broadway run after Tom Felton’s stint boosted ticket sales, producers said.
- Rupert Grint will join the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre from February 2, 2027, to May 30, 2027, playing an adult version of Ron Weasley.
- Grint is the second film franchise actor to join the production after Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy and exits January 3, 2027, with Grint reprising his role after 15 years.
- Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said Grint's return creates a "powerful bridge," while Grint stated stepping back into the role is "full-circle and so special."

- The presale for Grint's 17-week run begins September 1, with registration available on the play's website, building on the increased attendance Felton's casting previously generated.
