Rupert Grint raised one of the concerns he had ahead of HBO's series remake of Harry Potter. The British actor is best known for playing Ron Weasley in the original film series, a role which he cherishes to this day.

The series was first announced back in 2023, when HBO first launched the new name for its streaming service, Max. It has yet to be officially confirmed that each season will span one novel, similar to Disney+’s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series, but each book does take place over a single school year, as did the movies.
