'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint shares first photo, reveals adorable name of his newborn baby

Rupert Grint became a father for the first time earlier this year, and now he's revealed the adorable name he's given his newborn baby.

The 31-year-old created an official Instagram account to share his daughter's name, Wednesday G. Grint alongside the very first photo of her, being held by her father.

"Hey Instagram," he wrote in the post, "Only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert."

So sweet!

Rupert's Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton - who played Draco Malfoy in the movies - was one of many who sent his well-wishes to baby Wednesday and congratulated Rupert for finally joining Instagram, writing "Welcome Weasley, it’s about time. Love to Wednesday xx"

The Rupert and his girlfriend Georgia Groome became the proud parents of their baby girl, after Georgia gave birth in May, according to a representative for the couple.

The rep told E! News: "Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are delighted to confirm the birth of their baby girl. We would please ask that you respect their privacy at this very special time."

The happy news comes just one month after Rupert, 31, and Georgia, 28, were confirmed to be expecting their first child together.

Rupert's publicist confirmed earlier this month: "Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are excited to announce they are expecting a baby and would please ask for privacy at this time.”

Rupert starred in all of the Harry Potter movies from 2001 until 2011, and even though he's not played Ron for years, fans continue to be fascinated by the films.

He said: "I really did think it would die down after the first film finished and thought it was done. If anything, it's gone [the other way] as people hold those films very highly. I'm hearing stories about people who grew up with 'Harry Potter' a lot. I think it comes hand-in-hand with the people who literally shove cameras in your face. In a weird way, they feel ownership of you a little bit. We're quite familiar people in their lives."
