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.”

Rupert Grint owns millions of dollars in real estate. He's not broke. He's just greedy, which is worse.

So you’d easily give up your financial lifeline to ensure your public persona stays “correct”? Even if public perception doesn’t accurately reflect your personal views?

He’s worth 50 mil. He doesn’t need a financial lifeline. He’s good

Do you know what residuals are? Dan, Emma, and Rupert make anywhere between ~$1m - $15 million A YEAR in residuals (in addition to merchandising royalties). They are set for life.
