Rupert Grint, widely recognized for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, is making headlines with his return to cinema through the psychological thriller 'Nightborn', which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival on February 14, 2026 (hungamaexpress). Grint, who has largely maintained a low profile since the end of the Harry Potter saga in 2011, expressed his contentment with being able to 'pick and choose' his roles due to the financial success from the franchise. 'I’m very aware of that privilege,' he told Variety, acknowledging the freedom it affords him to focus on his personal life, including being a father to two daughters (castanet, arcamax.com). Grint also shared his political stance, speaking out against the rise of 'fascism' in politics, a sentiment he feels strongly about but chooses his moments to express (The News Pakistan).
