It marks the first time Grint has played the character, which he originated as a child, since the blockbuster film franchise wound down with 2011's The Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
Ticket sales for the New York City-based show notably picked up following Felton's surprise return, with Grint hoped to pull in many more nostalgic fans with his own reprisal, commencing on 2 February 2027 and ending on 30 May.

"There is something so full-circle and so special about stepping back into Ron's shoes now when we are both fathers; it is somehow both very familiar and completely new. And the joy of being back on Broadway, this time in a role that defined so much of my life is truly exciting."
Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said Grint's casting "creates a powerful bridge between the story audiences first fell in love with and the story of family, legacy and the passage of time that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child carries forward".
He made his Broadway debut in 2014 in Terrence McNally's It's Only a Play, alongside Nathan Lane (Only Murders in the Building).
Grint's further involvement in the Harry Potter franchise had previously been uncertain due to the actor's previously expressed disagreement with author JK Rowling.
Rowling has also shared her views on social media, including in a 2024 post on X (formerly Twitter), in which she insisted that "there are no trans kids" and opposed the idea that a child can be "born in the wrong body".
Harry Potter actors including Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, have distanced themselves from Rowling's views and have issued statements supporting the transgender community. Others, including Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter and Jim Broadbent, have defended the author from the criticism she has received.
His stage return comes in the same year as the launch of HBO's television reboot of Harry Potter, which recasts all the famous roles for what is pitched as a more detailed adaptation of the novels.
