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:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
