Overview
- The production and Grint announced on Wednesday that he will join Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre from Feb. 2 through May 30, 2027 for a confirmed 17‑week engagement.
- Fans can register for first access at HarryPotterBroadway.com through Aug. 31 with a presale on Sept. 1 and general tickets on sale Sept. 2 as posted by the show.
- Grint follows Tom Felton as the second original film actor to rejoin the Broadway company and their runs will not overlap because Felton is scheduled to end his engagement on Jan. 3, 2027.
- Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender framed the casting as a way to bridge the film era and the stage story, and coverage cites Felton’s earlier return as a clear driver of higher box office receipts.
- The announcement revived discussion of Grint’s past public remarks supporting transgender people and has produced mixed fan reactions that could shape public response and ticket demand for the run.
