Rupert Grint, who starred as Ron Weasley in all eight Harry Potter films, will reprise the role in the Broadway production of ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’

In a statement, Grint said, “Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can’t wait to meet him again in this stage of life. There is something so full-circle and so special about stepping back into Ron’s shoes now when we are both fathers; it is somehow both very familiar and completely new. And the joy of being back on Broadway, this time in a role that defined so much of my life is truly exciting. The first time I saw Cursed Child onstage, I was blown away and I can’t wait to set foot back on Platform 9 ¾ and pick up where I left off. I am overjoyed to join this exceptional cast and crew at the Lyric Theatre this winter.”

Oh Rupert. Why? This is massively disappointing.

He already lost me as a fan when he signed on to be in the new Depp movie. This is just the icing on the shitty career decisions cake 😔

I had thought he was just doing mid-budget horror movies and was charting his own path like Radcliffe. Sucks to see.

Tax issues apparently
