Harry Potter fans were delighted after the acting trio who played the lead characters recently reunited for a 20th anniversary special, Return To Hogwarts, to mark two decades since the first film’s release.

And it seems that at least one of the leads has revealed he would be keen to reprise his role, suggesting we may see a return of the boy wizard.

Actor Rupert Grint who played Ron Weasley in the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s famous books has said he would consider reprising his role in the Harry Potte r franchise if his co-stars rejoined with him.

Grint, now 33, rose to fame as a child, playing the role of Harry’s friend Ron alongside Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger in the popular film series.

The trio recently reunited for a 20th anniversary special, titled Return To Hogwarts, along with other cast members to mark 20 years since the first film, Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, was released.

Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain (GMB) about the possibility of making a return to the franchise someday, Grint said: “I can’t really think of a reason not to.

“I love that character, I love that world. It’s a huge part of my life. I feel this kind of ownership of Ron in a weird way.”

Grint said he would consider taking up the role of Weasley again, but that he would like his co-stars to rejoin with him.

He also revealed he had enjoyed watching someone else take on the role in the spin-off play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, which is being staged at the Palace Theatre in London.

“I loved seeing the play, and it was a real thrill seeing someone else take that body over,” he added.

Since the last Harry Potter film Grint has gone on to appear in a string of role and is currently starring as Julian Pearce in the psychological horror TV series Servant, with series three due to be released on Friday.

He has also become a father, with his partner Georgia Groome, giving birth to their daughter, Wednesday, last year.

The Harry Potter films based on the seven books written by JK Rowling gained immense popularity after being adapted into Blockbuster movies, with other spin offs including games, stage productions and theme parks across the world.
