Uncommonly known as Rupert Grint, Ronald Bilius Weasley is a member of a supposedly made up magical community, but outside of the wizarding world, he has been in a variety of well-known movies. Although you've probably seen most of these movies, you likely had no clue that your favorite ginger warlock starred in them.

1. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" General Hux


If you thought the Harry Potter movies would be the only quality endeavor ole' Rupey would ever take on in his lifetime, think again. His role as General Hux was executed perfectly. The contrast between a diabolical space general and a clumsy goofball sidekick really shows the range of characters that Grint can portray. Brilliant!

2. "Austin Powers" Scott Evil


Grint played it safe with this role as the ne'er-do-well son of the global-domination obsessed villain, Dr. Evil. It wasn't a huge leap from his actual personality as a dullish, tortured adolescent, but there were a lot of great laughs because of Scotty so I give Grint two thumbs up.

3. "American Pie" The Sherminator


I never really enjoyed this raunch-fest but you have to hand it to Grint, he really has mastered the role of being the least desirable friend in the friend group.

4. "Halloween 1997 Home Video" My Buddy Dan Blattner

This was a very interesting choice for Grint. I had never heard of an actor starring in a family's home video before. My good friend Dan was always shy as a child, you wouldn't know it looking at him now, especially if you have him on Snapchat (shy is the last word I would describe his Snapchat behavior). But I understand how he might not want to star in his own family video. It's a good thing Grint wasn't in a position to turn down roles at the time.

5. "Child's Play" Chucky


Many people thought that an actor could never be talented enough to play an actual toy doll in a movie, but with the right wax artists and some clever camera play, Grint pulled it off. And he was the first one to ever do it.

You have to hand it to Rupey, these are only five of the thousands of movies he has blessed with his presence. Below is a picture of Grint looking for an acting role he wouldn't be bloody brilliant at:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
