Rupert Grint admitted he would return to Harry Potter as Ron Weasley under two conditions

Could we see Ron Weasley return to our screens soon?

Rupert Grint revealed that he's open to reprising his role as Ron Weasley as long as two boxes are ticked.

Harry Potter fans might have a reason to get excited, as Grint's comments could point towards a potential reunion in the future, and not one that's AI-generated, either.

The 34-year-old actor made a name for himself as the iconic best friend of the movie franchise's titular character, Ron Weasley.

He first played the role aged 11 in The Philospher's Stone, but last played the eccentric ginger wizard in The Deathly Hallows – Part 2, back in 2011.

While many of the actors from the film series reunited for a special on HBO back in 2021, fans will still love nothing more than seeing the likes of Harry, Hermione, and Ron back on the big screen.

This was fuelled further by Daniel Radcliffe's comments on a potential return, which didn't seem to shut down the idea of him reprising the role of 'the boy who lived'.

Back in January 2023, Grint was asked about the Wizarding World while his promoting thriller film Knock At The Cabin, during an appearance on ITV's This Morning.

When asked about Ron, and if he would be 'opposed' to bringing him back, Grint said: "I think if the timing was right and everyone was coming back. It was a character that was important to me, we kind of became the same person.

"I'm protective of him as well. It was my whole childhood."

Grint further explained that he is very grateful for the breakout role, joking: "I was a fish in a school play before that!"

Highlighting that he'd be open to bringing the character back in 'some form', it's clear that a lot would need to be agreed upon to make it happen.

You'd need to get Emma Watson and Radcliffe on board, as well as some of the remaining actors, such as Tom Felton and Helena Bonham Carter.

Sadly, the likes of Michael Gambon, who played Voldemort, and Alan Rickman, who played Professor Severus Snape, have passed away since the final film's release.

But when Radcliffe spoke about the prospect in 2023, he explained: "My understanding is that they're trying to very much start fresh and I'm sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere.

“So I'm definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I'm very excited to have that torch passed.

“But I don't think it needs me to physically pass it.”

Unfortunately, it doesn't look likely - sorry, Harry Potter fans.
