Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Broadway cast: Rupert Grint as Ron

Rupert Grint will return to the role of Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, joining the Lyric Theatre company in New York from Tuesday 2 February 2027 for a limited run through Sunday 30 May 2027. For UK readers planning a trip either side of the Atlantic, London's Palace Theatre production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is already on sale, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets for the West End run sit on our show page.

Grint played Ron in all eight Harry Potter films. Nearly two decades after that work wrapped, he steps back into the character as a father, in the stage story that picks up 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts. Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said his return bridges the films audiences grew up with and the play's focus on family, legacy and time. Grint himself called it "full-circle" and "somehow both very familiar and completely new".

The engagement covers 17 weeks at the Lyric Theatre. At the same performance on 2 February 2027, Cody Combs makes his Broadway debut as Scorpius Malfoy. The New York staging of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child plays as a single evening, matching the one-part form now running in London. The run is billed as 17 weeks only, and no extension beyond 30 May 2027 has been announced.

Before Grint arrives, the Ron Weasley track is already in new hands. Tom Felton's Draco run ends on 3 January, before Grint starts on 2 February. There is no overlap between Felton's final performances and Grint's first night, so a single Broadway visit cannot catch both film stars in the current plan.

Tom Felton continues in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child through 3 January 2027, with Ben Thys taking over on 5 January

Original film star Tom Felton continues as Draco Malfoy alongside Aidan Close as Scorpius through Sunday 3 January 2027. From Tuesday 5 January 2027, Ben Thys, who originated Draco on the North American tour, takes over the role. The same performance brings back Broadway company member Erik Christopher Peterson as Scorpius for a limited stretch through 31 January 2027.

If your trip falls on or before 3 January, Felton is the announced Draco. If it falls on or after 5 January and on or before 31 January, Thys and Peterson are the announced Draco and Scorpius pairing. From 2 February, Combs takes over as Scorpius on the same night Grint begins as Ron.

Matt Harrington and Jocelyn Maher join Harry Potter and the Cursed Child from 10 November, with Harrington as Ron through 31 January

From Tuesday 10 November 2026, the Broadway company welcomes Jocelyn Maher, making her Broadway debut as Ginny Potter, and Matt Harrington as Ron Weasley. Harrington comes direct from the show's North American tour and plays Ron through 31 January 2027, bridging the gap until Grint begins on 2 February. Maher appears as Ginny from 10 November 2026; no end date for her run has been announced.

Continuing in their roles are John Skelley as Harry Potter, Emmet Smith as Albus Potter, Rachel Christopher as Hermione Granger, Janae Hammond as Rose Granger-Weasley and Kristen Martin as Delphi Diggory. New ensemble members arriving with the 10 November company include Josh Bates, Markcus Blair, Danny Bó, Casey Butler, Erin Chupinsky, Lauryn Hayes, Jennifer Thiessen and Timmy Thompson.

Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, the play is by Thorne and directed by Tiffany, with movement by Steven Hoggett, set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music and arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions and magic by Jamie Harrison, and music supervision and arrangements by Martin Lowe. The Broadway production is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions.

While New York rotates its company, the West End run at the Palace Theatre continues in its reimagined one-part form, in place from 9 October 2026. Our earlier piece on how Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is now one show at the Palace Theatre covers the London company, which on the show page is led by David Ricardo-Pearce as Harry Potter, Ethan Rouse as Albus Potter and Bill Stanley as Scorpius Malfoy, with Zoë Rainey as Ginny Potter and Naana Agyei-Ampadu as Hermione Granger. First-look photographs of the latest London company sit in our earlier piece, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child first-look photographs at the Palace Theatre.

In July 2026 we also marked when Harry Potter and the Cursed Child marks 10 years in the West End. Running time in London is about 2 hours 55 minutes including one interval, with age guidance of 8 and over. Children aged 14 and under should be accompanied by an adult 18 or over, and no under 5s are admitted.

If you are choosing dates in London, compare seats and live availability through Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets on our show page. UK readers who want both a West End night and a Broadway night can plan the Palace first, then time a New York trip to the announced Broadway window that matters to them.
