Quote:
Grint, whose role was not revealed, but could be Pat’s son Julian, added: "I used to watch Postman Pat when I was a small boy. My brother and sisters all did at some stage.
"Postman Pat is one of those British symbols, I suppose. You are totally familiar with him and his cat Jess, even if you have never watched the series.
"How exciting to be part of the Postman Pat heritage."

Postman Pat: The Movie – You Know You're The One sees Stephen Mangan, who played Dan Moody in I'm Alan Partridge and Sean Lincoln in Episodes, voicing the popular postie.
The film sees Postman Pat enter a national TV talent show - which threatens to tear him away from Greendale and the friends he loves.
The show forces Pat to come face-to-face with the temptations of money, status and even a shiny new suit.
Mangan said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be playing the world's best-known postman in his big screen debut. He's an iconic British hero and it's a great script.
