A handful of Harry Potter’s original cast have visited and watched the West End shows of the latest (and last) Harry Potter series in London. And the very recent visitor to the musical phenomenon? No other than Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the movie adaptations of the hit book series!
Potterheads were overwhelmed with happiness as Rupert took a trip to the theatres to see the musical episode of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last night (August 11th). Not only did he have the privilege to watch the show, since tickets are so hard to grab ahold of, but he also visited the cast backstage!
And as everybody says, “Post a photo or it didn’t happen”, Rupert was photographed with Ron Weasley played by Paul Thornley!

As much as Potter fans are delighted with Rupert’s recent visit, other original cast members have also visited the Cursed Child cast previously!
