Thankful for "Harry Potter" millions, Rupert Grint chooses his roles wisely - Rupert Grint returns to the big screen with Nightborn at Berlin Film Festival
Rupert Grint is making a return to the big screen with Nightborn, set to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival. The actor, best known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, has balanced a busy career with family life in recent years. Since the final Potter film in 2011, he has taken on over 25 projects across film and television.
Growing up on the Harry Potter set, Grint described filming the series as a defining part of his life. The franchise's success reportedly earned him around $32 million, giving him the freedom to pick roles selectively. Now, he aims to take on just 'one thing a year', calling the ability to choose work a rare privilege.
Since 2011, he has appeared in a mix of TV shows and films, including Snatch, Servant, and Guy Ritchie's The Covenant. In 2024 alone, he starred in The Saint and Good Girl Jane, which premiered at Sundance. Upcoming projects include Death Stranding 2, Mickey 17, and a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol, where he will play Bob Cratchit.
Away from acting, Grint enjoys time with his partner, Georgia Groome, and their two daughters, Wednesday, 5, and Goldie, 1. He has spoken openly about loving his work but also cherishing family moments. The balance between career and fatherhood remains a priority for the actor.
With Nightborn debuting in Berlin and multiple projects in development, Grint's career shows no signs of slowing down. His selective approach to roles reflects both financial security and a desire for quality over quantity. Meanwhile, his family life continues to ground him outside of Hollywood.
