Getting Discovered
Rupert was 11 years old when he found out about the auditions from the BBC website for kids’ show Newsround.

On his audition tape for Harry Potter, he wore a skirt and did an impression of his female drama teacher while performing hip-hop/rap lyrics he wrote about how much he wanted the part of Ron Weasley.

He had to do six or seven auditions after sending in his tape.

At the auditions, he had to learn his lines and do a screen test — which he didn’t enjoy because it involved a lot of nerves.

He said “there were loads of other ginger kids” at the auditions.

Rupert was only 11 when he was cast for the role of Ron. He was with Emma Watson in David Heyman’s office when he first found out that he had been chosen. He is quoted saying that he literally screamed when he was told the news.
