Rupert Grint at the Formula 1 race in Austin

Rupert Grint poses with some of our Twitter followers at the F1 race in Austin.

Ron Weasley was in Austin! Fans snapped pics with Harry Potter star Rupert Grint at the F1 race in Austin this weekend.

In 2007, Rupert told British newspaper The Sun:

“I’ve followed the sport for as long as I can remember. My dad raced in Formula Ford. Lewis( F1 driver Lewis Hamilton) has blown F1 totally open. He’s fun to watch as he’s aggressive and loves to win.”

Currently a driver for McLaren, Hamilton won the Grand Prix race in Austin. Next year, the champ will be moving to Mercedes AMG  replacing my daddy’s favorite driver Michael Schumacher.

According to IMDB.com, Grint is involved with seven films currently in production. I guess that Alohomora spell is really working for him.
