Born in Watton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire, England, Grint is the eldest of 5 children. Before being cast in Harry Potter he had only done plays for school and his local theatre group Top Hat Stage School in such productions as Peter Pan and Rumplestiltskin. A self-proclaimed fan of the Harry Potter book series, young Grint was adamant about getting a role in the movie. He entered a video he made of himself rapping about the role of Harry Potter, and at the age of 11, won the role of Potter's best friend Ron Weasley. After completing the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, he appeared as Alan A. Allen in the British comedy film Thunderpants (2002). In 2002 and 2004 he again starred as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter sequels Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
