Rupert was born on August 24, 1988 in Hertfordshire, England, UK.
He is the first of 5 children born to Nigel and Jo Grint. Although
only acting in one school play before being cast in the
Harry
Potter
series, he has proven to be an accomplished actor as he
nears the end of the series.

A self-proclaimed fan of the
Harry Potter series, Rupert was
interested in getting a role in the film. Rupert decided he wanted
to stand out in the director’s mind so unlike the other children
auditioning, he decided to take a chance. He sent in a video of
himself dressed as his drama teacher (a woman) performing a rap
that he had written stating why he wanted to be Ronald Weasley. Of
course we know his innovation and talent won him the part.

The creative directors of the
Harry Potter series decided to
continue with the same actors for the main characters throughout
the series. The child actors have made many sacrifices in addition
to their many opportunities. They have had to be tutored on set to
be able to keep up with their classes. But they have had many
doors opened for them because of being so visible in the acting
world. Rupert has done other films including
Thunderpants (2002)
and
Driving Lessons (2006). I hope to see more of them in the
future. Rupert has a genuine charm on film.

On July 9, 2007, Rupert, Emma, and Daniel left imprints of their
hands, feet, and wands in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in
Hollywood.
