Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint was born in Harlow, Essex, England, the
elder son of Joanne (Parsons) and Nigel Grint, who dealt in
memorabilia. The first of 5 children, Rupert has one brother and three
sisters.
Rupert grew up in Hertfordshire, the English county directly to the
north of London, conveniently placed for commuting to Leavesden Film
Studios. Before successfully auditioning for the Harry Potter films,
Rupert attended Richard Hale Secondary School in Hertford: here he took
an active interest in school plays, being cast as Rumplestilskin in the
Brothers Grimm fairy tales. He was also a regular attendee at weekend
drama classes at Top Hat Stage School, also in Hertford.
Time at school was limited, as Rupert was needed on set for the Harry
Potter films, where all of the child actors were tutored for four hours
a day on set, to keep up with legal requirements. During the summer of
2004, he took his GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education)
exams and completed his formal education.
