Rupert Grint returns as Ron Weasley on Broadway stage

Have you ever missed your friends from school or work? One actor knows that feeling very well.

Tom Felton played a bad character in the Harry Potter movies. He worked with many other young actors for ten years. One of his best friends from those movies was Rupert Grint. Rupert played Ron Weasley, a main character in the story.

Now, something exciting is happening. Rupert is going to play Ron Weasley again — but this time on a big stage in New York City. This is called Broadway. Tom is very happy about this news.

"I am so excited," Tom said. "I want to see Rupert do this. We had so much fun working together. Now we will see him bring this character back to life on stage."

The two actors have stayed friends for many years. They see each other sometimes and talk about old memories from the movie set. Many fans of Harry Potter also feel excited about this. They loved seeing Ron Weasley in the movies. Now they can watch him on stage too.

When actors work together for many years, they become like a family. Tom and Rupert have that kind of friendship. They support each other's new work. This is a nice reminder that good friendships can last a long time — even after the work ends.

Have you ever stayed friends with people from school or an old job? That is what Tom and Rupert have done. Their friendship makes this Broadway show even more special.
