Rupert Grint will return to the role of Ron Weasley for a 17-week run of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting in February 2027. The 38-year-old actor, who originated the character in the film series, will join the production at the Lyric Theatre from February 2 to May 30. This marks a significant return for Grint, who previously played Ron as a child, and follows the recent announcement that Tom Felton would reprise Draco Malfoy in the same production. Grint has described the return as a 'full-circle' moment, noting the shared experience of fatherhood with his character. The Broadway production of the play has generated over $532 million in revenue, and Grint’s casting continues a trend of original film stars returning to the stage adaptation. While Grint and Felton are both involved in the show, their schedules do not overlap, with Felton exiting in January 2027 and Grint joining in February. The announcement highlights the enduring commercial and cultural impact of the Harry Potter franchise, which continues to expand through stage and television adaptations.
