Harry Potter is naked on the Broadway stage right now, and Hermione shows up at a red carpet every week looking like a bombshell, but Ron Weasley hasn't been given too many chances to grow up so far. But Rupert Grint is currently starring in Wild Target, playing an apprentice hitman to a veteran, played by Bill Nighy. The two are assigned to kill a con artist (Helena Bonham Carter), but when they fail at that, all three are assigned to be killed themselves.

Below are some photos from the set of Wild Target, originally posted by Snitch Seeker,where Grint can be seen sporting just a smidgen of facial hair. Peeking out of the back of a car that's been clearly shot at, Rupert is clearly in the kind of pickle that doesn't usually go down at Hogwarts. Wild Target is tentatively slated for a March 2009 release. Snitch Seeker has even more images for your Weasley perusal.
