Harry Potter Star Officially Returning for New Project

Published Aug 26, 2026, 10:23 AM EDT Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts. For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch. He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours.

Grint will begin performances at New York’s Lyric Theatre on February 2, 2027, for a strictly limited 17-week engagement running through May 30. This article covers a developing story.
