Rupert didn't have much acting experience before landing the role of Ron Weasley in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." In fact, he'd only done school plays. However, he is an avid fan of the book series and wanted to give acting a try. For his audition tape, Grint performed a rap he had written promoting himself for the part of Ron. Grint says he could relate to the character of Ron Weasley because like Ron, he has a big family -- one brother and three sisters.
