UPDATE: In a surprising twist, Rupert Grint has opened up about the possibility of returning to the Harry Potter franchise as HBO gears up for its highly anticipated reboot, set to debut in 2027. The beloved series, which originally launched nearly 25 years ago, is set to introduce a new cast, replacing the iconic trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Grint himself.
Speaking with the BBC, Grint expressed uncertainty about his return, stating, “Maybe in the future. Never say never, but for now, I think, as much as I loved it, I’m enjoying stepping outside of that world.” This revelation comes as excitement builds among fans, especially following Tom Felton‘s recent return to the Wizarding World, where he reprised his role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.
Grint’s comments have sparked speculation about whether he, Radcliffe, or Watson might join the new project. He noted his support for the franchise’s legacy, saying, “It has quite deep meaning to a lot of people of my generation, and even more to generations who are finding it now.” Grint even hinted at the possibility of his children participating in future Harry Potter projects, remarking, “I don’t see why not. It was so much fun.”
In a gesture of goodwill, Grint shared that he wrote a letter to Alastair Stout, who will portray Ron Weasley in the reboot, similar to the supportive gesture made by Radcliffe for Dominic McLaughlin, the new Harry Potter. “I had so much fun stepping into this world, and I hope he has the same experience,” Grint said.
The reboot, while still in its early stages, has already generated buzz, with reports indicating that season 2 is in development even before the first season has aired. As fans eagerly await the new series, Grint’s reflections on his time as Ron Weasley and his connection to the franchise remain poignant.
As the Harry Potter universe continues to expand, Grint’s nostalgic sentiments resonate with millions of fans worldwide, keeping the magic alive in the hearts of both old and new generations. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
