Thescreescore – As the Wizarding World prepares for a new chapter with HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot, original cast members are facing questions about potential returns. With Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout stepping into the iconic roles of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively, fans are eager to know if any of the original stars might reappear. Rupert Grint, who charmed audiences as Ron Weasley, recently addressed the possibility of revisiting the franchise.
Speaking to the BBC, Grint remained coy about reprising his role, 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." While hesitant to commit to a return himself, Grint expressed enthusiasm for the series’ enduring legacy and even suggested he wouldn’t object to his own children participating in future Harry Potter projects.
Grint also shared his support for Alastair Stout, the actor taking on the role of Ron in the HBO reboot. Echoing Daniel Radcliffe’s gesture to Dominic McLaughlin, Grint revealed that he penned a letter to Stout, "passing the baton" and wishing him well in his journey into the Wizarding World. He fondly recalled his own experience, stating, "I still remember every second of it," and expressed excitement that the new show "is going to be its own thing." Grint even playfully noted a "family resemblance" between himself and Stout.
