"Harry Potter's" Rupert Grint is going from playing a wizard on the big screen to playing a director on the Broadway stage.

Broadway.com reports that the 25-year-old actor will be making his Broadway debut in the comedy "It's Only a Play."  Grint is set to play a director named Frank Finger who directs a show within the actual show.

If you're not sold on Grint as a reason to see the show that premieres on Oct. 9, perhaps its star-studded cast will intrigue you a bit more.

"It's Only a Play" will also feature Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Stockard Channing, F. Murray Abraham, Megan Mullally, and Micah Stock.

"I'm thrilled to be making my Broadway debut alongside this amazing cast and creative team," Grint said in an official statement to Broadway.com.

Prior to his Broadway debut, Grint's first theatrical performance on stage was last year in London's West End. He starred in Jez Butterworth's play "Mojo" at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

In addition to his West End performance, we also know Grint for his widely popular character, Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" movie franchise. Grint's other big screen credits include "Into the White," "Wild Target," "Driving Lessons," and "Cherrybomb."

Grint isn't the only "Harry Potter" cast member that took their sights to Broadway. Variety reports that Grint's co-star, Daniel Radcliffe is currently in the midst of appearing in his third Broadway show.

Radcliffe currently stars in "The Cripple of Inishmaan." His past Broadway credits include "Equus" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

So what is "It's Only a Play" about?

The comedic show is about a playwright (Broderick) who waits to see the reviews on how well his latest show did among critics. Broderick's character, named Peter Austin, puts on a show with a TV star (Lane), a producer (Mullally), his lead actress (Channing), his director (Grint) and a critic (Abraham).

According to Broadway.com, The play previews in September and will run for a 17-week engagement through Jan. 4, 2015.
