Harry Potter star Rupert Grint joins Instagram and reveals baby girl’s unusual name

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has joined Instagram and used his first post to introduce his baby girl to the world.

The 32-year-old actor shared a selfie of him sitting in a big yellow chair holding his daughter in his arms.

Grint also revealed the six-month-old’s unusual name in his message, writing: “Hey Instagram….only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.”

The quirky name was made famous by Addams Family character Wednesday Addams, inspired by the line in the children’s nursery rhyme “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”

Grint’s wizarding co-star Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the franchise, was among the first to reply writing: “Welcome Weasley, it’s about time. Love to Wednesday xx”

Grint’s profile picture also has a Potter connection, showing a snap of Dame Maggie Smith – who played Professor McGonagall in the films – kissing him on the cheek.
