Rupert Grint Welcomes the New Ron Weasley
Rupert Grint, the beloved original Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter films, has shown true Gryffindor spirit by sending a heartfelt letter of encouragement to Alastair Stout, the actor stepping into Ron’s shoes for an upcoming adaptation. Attending the Highgate Christmas lights switch-on, Rupert shared with the BBC just how much the role meant to him and how important it is to support the next generation of wizards.
Passing the torch in such a magical franchise isn’t easy, but Rupert is clearly embracing it with warmth and generosity. He admitted that Ron Weasley will always be a big part of his life, and he wants Alastair to know that the wizarding world—and its fans—are cheering him on.
An Inspiring Moment for Harry Potter Fans
Let’s be honest, seeing our childhood heroes grow up and give their blessings to the next generation hits us right in the feels. Rupert’s gesture isn’t just sweet—it’s a reminder that magic lives on, and that support and kindness are as important in real life as they are at Hogwarts.
Somewhere, you just know Molly Weasley is proud.
