Rupert Grint Will Become Ron Weasley Again - This Time, on Broadway

  • 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."
  • Grint previously appeared on Broadway in a Terrence McNally production and in the West End's Mojo; he recently starred in Nightborn and appears in the upcoming Paramount Pictures film Ebenezer.
  • 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.
