Rupert Grint and Dacre Montgomery attend convention in São Paulo

Fans of Harry Potter and Stranger Things were able to meet actors Rupert Grint (Ron from Harry Potter) and Dacre Montgomery (Billy from Stranger Things) in person during a panel at the Anhembi Convention Center/SP last night.

The international stars interacted with fans present at the venue, answering questions about the successful productions.

Before the two participated in the event in São Paulo, they had contact with Brazilian fans who were waiting for them at the airport. Dacre replaced Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven in Stranger Things. The actor landed with his girlfriend and used an umbrella to hide. In addition to Millie, Georgie Takei also did not come to Brazil. The confusing information regarding the absence of both of them at the convention led Procon to notify Ucconx for further clarification to the paying public.

According to a statement from the company made via Instagram, actress Millie Bobby canceled the engagement due to the risk of exposure to Covid-19 and other professional commitments.

In contrast, Takei's clarification came through a video. According to the actress, her husband tested positive for Covid-19, making it impossible for her to come to the country, since she had direct contact with the infected person.

Rupert landed in the country for the first time and greeted the fans present at his reception at the airport. As he got into the car, the star took off his mask, smiling at the crowd that was eagerly awaiting his arrival.

Among the convention attendees, singer Lexa's mother, Darlin Ferrattry, was one of the lucky ones who got an autograph from the Harry Potter star. With the help of an interpreter, Darlin asked for an autograph on her arm and was promptly answered by Rupert.

The record will be immortalized through a tattoo. Excited about the moment, Lexa's mother shared everything through social media, expressing how happy she was to meet the star.
