~Actor Rupert Grint plays Weasley to perfection. By terms self-effacing, increduance brings Ron Weasley from page to film screen with astonishing fidelity. Unaffected, unabashedly normal in every way, with the right touch of regret at having been born in a poor wizarding family, Grint as Weasley is picture perfect. He is my favorite among all the child actors in the other films. In short, bloody brilliant.~
