Rupert Grint Biography
Biography
Rupert Grint made his big-screen debut in 2001's box-office smash
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, bringing to life Ronald Weasley, friend to the famous protagonist Harry Potter of
J.K. Rowling's children's novel. Born in England in 1988, Grint had only performed in plays for school and local theater in Europe before making the giant leap into Hollywood with Harry Potter. He scored a role in the family comedy
Thunderpants soon afterward, but was kept busy for the next several years as audiences saw him grow up alongside co-stars
Daniel Radcliffe and
Emma Watson while appearing in the ongoing Harry Potter sequels. He emerged in 2006 with a starring role in the well-received comedy drama
Driving Lessons, alongside Hollywood heavyweights
Julie Walters and
Laura Linney. Though he appeared in the 2009 films
Cherrybomb and
Wild Target, he was still most well known as Harry Potter's best friend. The series came to a close in 2011.
