Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender issued a joint statement praising Grint’s return, underscoring the confidence in his forthcoming performance as Ron Weasley.
Rupert Grint, the original Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter films, will return to Broadway to play the character again in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The 17-week limited run starts February 2 and ends May 30, 2027, at the Lyric Theatre. Winnipeg Free Press reported that Grint's return makes him the second original film actor to join the stage production, following Tom Felton's recent run as Draco Malfoy.
The Broadway show is set 19 years after the original Harry Potter books end. Grint, now 38 and a father, calls returning to Ron a full-circle moment. The production has earned $532 million in sales, making it Broadway's highest-grossing non-musical show. Tickets go on pre-sale September 1 at 11 a.m. ET, with general sale starting September 2 at 11 a.m. ET.
Second Original Actor Joins Stage Production
Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, recently finished his Broadway run as the character on January 3, 2027. WRAL reported that Grint steps in just weeks later to begin his 17-week engagement. Both actors are reprising their iconic film roles on stage, bringing nostalgia to long-time Potter fans.
Grint has stage experience beyond the Potter universe. He made his Broadway debut in It's Only a Play opposite Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. He has also performed in the West End production of Mojo by Jez Butterworth, showing his range beyond film work.
A Limited-Time Broadway Window
The 17-week run creates a focused window for fans to see Grint return to Ron. NH Register noted that pre-sale tickets become available September 1 at 11 a.m. ET. General public sales open September 2. Fans can sign up for first-access at www.HarryPotterBroadway.com through August 31.
The limited run strategy differs from the West End production, which has run for over a decade. Broadway audiences will have just four and a half months to see Grint on stage as Ron Weasley at the Lyric Theatre before the engagement ends May 30, 2027.
Broadway's Biggest Non-Musical Keeps Drawing Crowds
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has become a box-office juggernaut. The Broadway production has generated $532 million in sales, making it the highest-grossing non-musical show in Broadway history. This record underscores the franchise's staying power beyond traditional musicals.
Grint, now 38 with children of his own, sees the role differently than he did as a young actor. He has called the return a full-circle moment—revisiting a character that defined his childhood in a more mature phase of his life. Producers praised his commitment to bringing fresh depth to Ron Weasley.
