'Harry Potter' Star Set To Appear in Ed Sheeran's Latest Music Video
Ed Sheeran announced some exciting news for fans on Monday morning.
The English pop singer took to Instagram to share that his upcoming single 'A Little More' will drop this Thursday, and the video will star Rupert Grint, the beloved actor known for his role as Ron Weasley in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The duo first teased that something was in the works last Thursday on Instagram, sending fans into a frenzy.
Sheeran and Grint have long been linked in pop culture thanks to their striking resemblance and similar ginger hair — a running joke among fans. Back in 2011, the 36-year-old actor famously appeared in Sheeran's "Lego House" music video, which quickly became a fan favorite.
"14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited. I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it," the 34-year-old singer wrote. "It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song. Think this one is gonna be a lot of people's fav song from Play. Out Thursday, watch out for more stuff coming x."
Not only is Sheeran gearing up to release his eighth studio album Play, on Sept. 12, but the 'Photograph' singer has also been on his +−=÷× Tour since 2022, returning to Europe for another leg this summer. Over the past three months, he has also dropped multiple singles ahead of the album, including 'Azizam,' 'Old Phone' and two versions of 'Sapphire,' one featuring Indian composer Arijit Singh.
Fans can watch the "A Little More" music video, starring Grint, when it premieres this Thursday.'Harry Potter' Star Set To Appear in Ed Sheeran's Latest Music Video first appeared on Parade on Aug 4, 2025

‘Wagner and the Creation of the Ring' Review: Back to Valhalla
The world had plenty of reasons to forget Richard Wagner's four-opera cycle, 'Der Ring des Nibelungen.' None of the four makes sense without the others—they premiered together in 1876—but the prospect of sitting through 15 or 16 hours of musical theater in the course of a week, as the composer intended, is not one a normal person would seek out. The cost and complexity of mounting four operas in a few days has proved, over the decades, similarly overwhelming. It is easy to imagine other works by Wagner remaining in the repertoire—'Tannhäuser' (1845), 'Lohengrin' (1850), 'Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg' (1868) and especially 'Tristan und Isolde' (1865)—with the 'Ring' remembered much as Samuel Barber's 'Antony and Cleopatra' (1966): an overambitious flop. The 'Ring' cycle's plot, which is based on Wagner's idiosyncratic interpretation of Norse myths, is convoluted and at times almost nonsensical. And then, of course, there are the unhappy facts that (a) the composer derived his saga from some of the sources later used by German academic theorists to postulate a superior Nordic race and (b) Wagner was a virulent antisemite. Worse: Adolf Hitler adored Wagner's music. Some important 'Ring' manuscripts no longer exist because they were destroyed when Hitler's bunker went up in flames in 1945. So entangled with each other were Hitler's and Wagner's legacies that the Nazi dictator and Winifred Wagner, the widow of the composer's son, Siegfried, were once rumored to be lovers. The German novelist Thomas Mann, at once a fanatical admirer of Wagner's music and a loather of Nazism, wrote in 1940 that, with its 'mixture of roots-in-the-soil and eyes-toward-the-future, its appeal for a classless society, its mythical-reactionary revolutionism—with all these, it is the exact spiritual forerunner of the 'metapolitical' movement today terrorizing the world.' The 'Ring' operas' association with the Nazis led stage directors after 1945, chiefly the composer's grandson Wieland Wagner, to strip the operas of their Germanic elements. The urge was defensible in the immediate postwar years, but over the decades it has led to aesthetic perversity—Valkyries wearing pantsuits; the palace of the gods, Valhalla, looking like a discothèque. A few years ago the Lyric Opera of Chicago staged 'Siegfried,' the third 'Ring' opera, in which the sword-wielding eponymous hero appeared as an overgrown child playing with dolls, his baggy polo stained with fingerpaint. Such 'transgressive' interpretations, aside from their bad taste, appear calculated to prevent the audience from enjoying Wagner's music. I well recall the Edinburgh Festival's production of 'Die Walküre,' the cycle's second opera, and wondering why there was a bathroom on stage and why the eyepatch-wearing Wotan, king of the gods, felt the need at a critical moment to wash his face in its sink. The quality of the singing or orchestral playing I don't recall, so perplexed was I by the toiletry and other distractions.

The second focuses on Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Moriston's (Hermione Corfield) romance in WWI-era England. Blood of My Blood takes place two decades before the the start of the mothership series. Roy, who portrays Brian, told Glamour that it's 'really important to know where Brian comes from.' He continued, 'He's living with his father, who's very abusive. He's been shunned by most of his clan because of his misdeeds, so they kind of lived in isolation. And this is all Brian's really known growing up.' However, Brian's whole life changes after he meets Ellen MacKenzie. 'Obviously, that's when he realizes, This is actually something that I want," the Scottish actor continued. 'But to get this thing I want, I have to go through this massive journey of rival plans.… So, he takes on this whole new challenge.'
