Pottermore reveals the look of Granger-Weasley's for the upcoming play.
The second installment of images from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have been unveiled and this time, we see Hermione and Ron with their daughter Rose Granger-Weasley.
Picking up 19 years after the incidents of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, JK Rowling has brought the wizarding world play which is set to debut in London on June 7 at Palace Theatre.
Paul Thornley, Noma Dumezweni, and Cherrelle Skeete will play Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Rose Granger-Weasley respectively.
Thornley sounds like a doting father excited to see his daughter off to Hogwarts. For Granger-Weasley's, it's a big deal. "Ron is married to Hermione Granger and they’re now the Granger-Weasleys. Our magnificent daughter Rose Granger-Weasley is about to start at Hogwarts, which is obviously a big day for everyone," Says Paul.

For Rowling, grown up Ron is not very different from his teens. "Ron in his forties isn't very different from Ron in his teens, except that his feet hurt a bit more. Paul's so funny and brilliant in the role."
Thornley's Ron doesn't spend much on shopping. He is all about comfort wear. Comfortable cords, comfortable jumper, comfortable shoes is his attire for the play.
JK Rowling was overjoyed when they cast Noma Dumezweni as Hermione. "I saw Noma workshop the part and when John Tiffany told me he'd cast her, I was overjoyed. She gets Hermione inside out," the author told Pottermore.

The Olivier-winning actress is thrilled by her makeover as Hermione. She looks formidable in deep blue attire!
Like mum, like daughter. Rose Granger-Weasley played by Cherrelle Skeete takes after her mother if you ask JK Rowling. "Rose is like her mother, but more secure, more grounded. She was born to wizards and knows her place in the world. Cherrelle plays her perfectly: bossy but deeply loveable."

Cherrelle is very excited, "Putting on my uniform, ready to go to Hogwarts, and seeing everyone else in their uniform was exciting. I’ve been looking at it every day in the wardrobe department, waiting for the day I can get on the Hogwarts Express."
She has worked with Harry Potter stars Evanna Lynch and James and Oliver Phelps in Danny and the Human Zoo.
Cherrelle agrees with Rowling, "Rose is ambitious, obviously her mum is Hermione so she’s got a lot to live up to. I think they’re quite similar in the fact they put a lot of pressure on themselves. And she just wants to do the right thing."
Pottermore has promised one more reveal in the week leading to the previews of the play in London.
