As I delve into the lives of these enchanting Harry Potter alumni, I am utterly captivated by their transformations and accomplishments beyond Hogwarts’ hallowed halls. The magical journey they embarked on as young witches and wizards has blossomed into a myriad of diverse careers, proving that Muggle life is indeed just as fascinating.
Tom Felton is welcoming the cast back to the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
In a rather extraordinary and enchanting gathering, the 37-year-old actor, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight of the films featuring Daniel Radcliffe as the lead, recently reunited with some former castmates from the same franchise.
On December 9th, Tom was spotted at the Paris convention for “Enter the Wizarding World 2” on Instagram. He attended this event alongside actors from the Harry Potter films such as Devon Murray (Seamus Finnegan), Scarlett Hefner (Pansy Parkinson), Louis Cordice (Blaise Zabini), Stanislav Yanevski (Viktor Krum), and Predrag Bjelac (the headmaster Igor Karkaroff, who was Viktor’s superior).
Besides Harry Potter, other family members were present too. These included Jamie Campbell Bower, best known for his role as young Gellert Grindelwald in both the original series and its spinoff “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” along with Natalia Tena who played Nymphadora Tonks, and Dan Fogler from the “Fantastic Beasts” series.
Following the conference and taking part in an interactive session with the audience, Louis posted a selfie on Instagram next to Scarlett, both beaming among a crowded auditorium with their fellow actors.
Despite needing a time-turner at times to bring together so many Harry Potter cast members, Tom always manages to fully enjoy and capitalize on their reunions.
He shared with TopMob News in April that everyone is like both friends and family to each other. Although we’re not usually together physically, we consider ourselves a unique kind of family. Unfortunately, we don’t always get to gather in one place. However, I can confidently say this for the entire cast and crew: we all deeply appreciate our fans, as it is their support that keeps us going.
As a devoted fan, I can’t overlook the fact that this opportunity wouldn’t have come my way without the endless love and encouragement from the Harry Potter community. For that reason, I am eternally thankful.
Keep reading for a look at what all of the Harry Potter stars are up to today.
Daniel Radcliffe, famously known for portraying Harry Potter, is eternally thankful for the career-launching role that opened numerous opportunities for him. However, he’s also been diligently working to distance himself from the stereotype of a child actor. His initial steps towards this transformation were evident in his bold choices for roles, starting with his raw and controversial Broadway debut in “Equus” back in 2007. This was followed by the more cheerful “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in 2011. Over the years, he’s been switching between theater productions like “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” and films such as “The Woman in Black” and “Victor Frankenstein.” His choices have leaned heavily towards dramatic or absurd roles.
Without a doubt, Radcliffe isn’t shy about exploring dark humor. He dives headfirst into it, whether on TV as a morphine-addicted doctor in “A Young Doctor’s Notebook” or a minor angel striving to halt the end of the world in “Miracle Workers”. Or even playing a flatulent corpse in the 2016 film “Swiss Army Man”. Afterward, he took on roles such as the antagonist opposite Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in their 2022 romantic comedy “The Lost City”, and portrayed musician “Weird Al” Yankovic in the biographical parody film “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”.
Since 2010, Radcliffe has openly admitted to a history of excessive drinking during the winding down of the Harry Potter series. With fame beyond his wildest dreams and anxiety about his future, he was uncertain about his next life chapter.
He mentioned on the show Off Camera With Sam Jones in 2019, “For me, the most effective method of ignoring the fact that I’m being observed is to become extremely intoxicated.
As you grow increasingly intoxicated, it occurs to you, “Ah, people seem to be observing me more since I’m getting quite drunk. Maybe I ought to drink some more to help me forget about that.
Radcliffe has been dating actress Erin Darke ever since they worked together on the film “Kill Your Darlings,” released in 2013, where he portrayed the role of poet Alan Ginsberg.
Born in Paris and raised in Oxfordshire, this young woman had only a handful of school plays to her name when she landed the role of Hermione Granger, her first professional acting gig. Following the completion of the seven Harry Potter films, Watson balanced her time between attending Brown University (graduating in 2014 with a degree in English literature) and starring in independent movies like “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “The Bling Ring.” In the latter film, she shed her rule-abiding Hermione persona by portraying a member of a group of spoiled yet misfit young thieves who began burglarizing homes of celebrities.
In her modeling career with brands like Burberry and Lancôme, Emma Watson gained fame by portraying Belle in the successful 2017 live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.” Later, in 2019, she played Meg, the eldest March sister, in Greta Gerwig’s film “Little Women.” Apart from acting, Emma Watson has taken on the role of an activist, focusing primarily on gender inequality. In 2014, as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she initiated the HeForShe campaign and continues to be a vocal proponent for equality in the entertainment industry and beyond.
Previously, she dated Will Adamowicz, Matthew Janney, William “Mack” Knight, and Leo Robinson. However, these days she’s contentedly in a relationship with Brandon Green. In May 2021, Watson addressed speculations about her acting career potentially being on hold, tweeting, “Reports suggesting my career is ‘active or inactive’ are strategies to generate headlines whenever they are eventually confirmed as true or false.
It seemed as if the redhead hailing from Essex was suddenly born to portray Harry Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley. Grint, who gained his first significant post-Potter recognition by participating in the Olympic Torch relay prior to the London Olympics in 2012, a memorable experience he declared he would treasure forever, has primarily acted in British productions. Among these roles, he stood out in BBC One’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s mystery novel, “The ABC Murders,” and Sky One’s dark comedy “Sick Note,” where he played an ordinary man whose life took a turn for the better after being given a false cancer diagnosis but chose to maintain the illusion of his illness. (Lindsay Lohan was one of his co-stars.) His filmography includes “CBGB,” focusing on the legendary punk-rock club in New York, and the French comedy “Moonwalkers.” Currently, he is featured on Apple TV+ in M. Night Shyamalan’s supernatural mystery series, “Servant,” which returned for a second season, and appeared in Shyamalan’s horror film, “Knock at the Cabin.
Since I landed the role of Ron, my life took an entirely new course, as stated to Radio Times in 2018. It was an unusual phase, and it took me a considerable amount of time to fully grasp its impact. Even now, maintaining anonymity can sometimes be challenging. Occasionally, I just yearn for a simple trip to B&Q.
He additionally expressed, “Following Potter, I found myself uncertain about my future plans. I felt as though I had missed out on ordinary experiences. Many of my school friends drifted away. Eager for a change, I decided to take some time off. I’m not overly ambitious by nature, but there has always been a part of me, especially after finishing Potter, that yearns to demonstrate myself. Yet, I am also fundamentally insecure.
Whatever he was doing during the audition impressed Shyamalan. He shared with EW.com that Grint transformed before his eyes. “I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed such a remarkable reinvention from child actor to adult actor in my career,” Shyamalan said, “It’s truly incredible.
Back in May 2020, Evan Grint and his long-term partner, Georgia Groome, were blessed with their first child – a beautiful girl named Wednesday G. Grint.
There’s no question that the actor who once portrayed Neville Longbottom, the awkward character from Harry Potter, has become a topic of widespread interest due to his adult good looks, with news of his maturity spreading across the world.
Lewis has mainly focused on stage and film work in England, his homeland. Notable projects include the BBC One miniseries “The Syndicate“, the emotional drama “Me Before You” from 2016, and the 2018 revenge thriller “Terminal“, starring Margot Robbie. In 2015, he expressed his delight at portraying a soldier in the BBC Three dramedy “Bluestone 42“, a series about an Afghan bomb disposal squad.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “Participating in Potter was truly special and unlike anything else I’ve been a part of. However, when it comes to projects that I’ve been deeply invested in and felt immense pride for, nothing compares to Bluestone 42. The joy I’ve experienced being involved in this project far surpasses any I’ve known before as an actor – absolutely!
In January 2020, on the Mantality podcast, he mentioned that he had been filming All Creatures Great and Small for Channel 5 – a modern adaptation of the original BBC series (1978-1990) based on James Herriot’s books. Although the title might not be familiar to some, Lewis pointed out that it was quite significant in Britain (and it is now available on Masterpiece on PBS).
He’s a private fellow, but we do know that he married Angela Jones in 2018 and that they made at stop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter World—the very place where they first met—in October 2019. They live in Florida, where Jones is from.
In reality, the malicious Draco Malfoy (winner of two MTV Movie Awards for Best Villain) was actually a golden-hearted doll with platinum hair. During the year 2011, he appeared in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” but has since been featured in movies with less reliance on computer-generated imagery, particularly the period dramas “Belle” and “A United Kingdom.
2016 left me spellbound when Tom Felton, the man I adore like a superhero, graced our screens as Julian “Dr. Alchemy” Albert on CW’s The Flash. His acting prowess didn’t stop there; he also starred in the YouTube Premium sci-fi drama Origin, films such as Ophelia, Braking for Whales, and Burial – a gripping World War II thriller. But wait, there’s more! This multi-talented soul is also a gifted singer-songwriter who has shared his melodies with us through several EPs over the years. To top it all off, his Instagram, where he shares his delightful soup recipes, guitar sessions, heartwarming dog moments, and the occasional Potter reunion, is undoubtedly one of the happiest corners on the web.
For seven years prior to their split in 2016, Tom Felton was in a relationship with Jade Olivia Gordon, who later became Draco Malfoy’s wife in a future scenario. In 2022, the actor published his memoir titled “Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard“, sharing insights into his experiences with early fame, substance abuse challenges, and clarifying aspects about his relationship with Emma Watson.
He penned down, “I’ve harbored a hidden affection for Emma, but maybe not as openly as others might prefer. However, this doesn’t mean that there was no chemistry between us. On the contrary, there certainly was, though it appeared at varying moments in time.
Despite the spark not developing into romance, there remains a deep affection between them, more akin to friendship. As Felton put it, “I don’t believe I ever fell in love with Emma, but I held a unique affection and respect for her as an individual that I find difficult to articulate to anyone else.
As a young girl aged just ten, the actress initially portrayed Ginny Weasley, evolving from “Ron’s little sister” to Harry Potter’s romantic interest throughout the movie series. In 2011, she was honored with the Most Edgy Style Award at the Rodial Beauty Awards and marked her debut in London Fashion Week.
In 2012, Wright established BonBonLumière, her own production company, after earning a degree from London College of Communication. Apart from appearing in films like ‘After the Dark’ and ‘Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?’, this artist has authored and directed short films, such as ‘Separate We Come, Separate We Go’, featuring David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), ‘Know Thyself’ with Christian Coulson who played Tom Riddle, and ‘Medusa’s Ankles’ starring Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy). In 2021, Wright published her debut book titled ‘Go Gently’, providing guidance for readers interested in participating in the climate movement.
Back in 2019, Wright was part of a gathering alongside Watson, Felton, Lewis, and Evanna Lynch during a heartwarming reunion. Fortunately, someone captured the moment on camera. Wright titled the picture “Time Turning,” emphasizing the sentiment with a lightning bolt symbol.
Previously, she was betrothed to the actor Jamie Campbell Bower, renowned for his role as Sweeney Todd and young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. However, their relationship ended in 2012. Later, she was romantically involved with Simon Hammerstein for a number of years. In 2020, she found love with Andrew Lococo and they got married in March 2022. Their son Elio was born in September 2023.
It’s worth noting that Fred and George Weasley, known for their mischievous antics at Hogwarts, were portrayed by real-life twins – Oliver, who is 13 minutes older, has a mole on the right side of his neck. They have continued to play twin roles in other movies like “Our Own Worst Enemy” and “Last Night in Soho,” directed by Edgar Wright. Meanwhile, James, their brother, has pursued more acting projects individually.
A clear distinction can be made between the two: Oliver got married to Katie Humpage in 2015, and they share two daughters together, whereas James tied the knot with Annika Ostle a year later.
The siblings continue to be extremely close, having once co-hosted a podcast named “Not So Ordinary” where they interviewed their former on-screen colleagues like Evanna Lynch, Katie Leung, and Alfred Enoch.
In the year 2024, the twins likewise took on the roles of joint hosts for the baking competition show titled “Harry Potter: Magical Bakers.
Originally, the renowned British actor was part of the Hogwarts student troupe as Dean Thomas from Gryffindor, followed by numerous stage performances in England and appearances on shows such as Broadchurch and Sherlock. Subsequently, he spent four seasons portraying Wes, a well-meaning yet ultimately morally questionable and doomed law student on How to Get Away With Murder. In the series finale of 2020, he returned for a cameo, this time playing—SPOILER ALERT—Wes’ own son. Since then, he has appeared in Apple TV+’s Foundation, and it is also known that he graduated from The Queen’s College at Oxford University.
In his quest to cast a 15-to-17-year-old for the role of the 16-year-old Tom Riddle in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, Chris Columbus initially looked over Coulson, who was 23 years old at the time. However, against all expectations, Coulson managed to secure the part. Since then, he has built a successful career in film and television, becoming particularly well-known for his roles as Damien George on “Nashville”, Sebastian in the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime series “Mozart in the Jungle”, and Benjamin on the Hulu reboot of the book-turned-movie “High Fidelity”, where Zoë Kravitz stars as the main character, a record store owner with a love for lists and set in Brooklyn.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary journey of Kaya Scodelario, who stole my heart as Cho Chang in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This classically trained Scottish actress has made quite a name for herself across the pond, gracing both theater stages and television screens. You might recognize her from series like White Dragon and Chimerica, or perhaps BBC One’s The Nest.
In March 2021, Leung, a woman with Chinese heritage, spoke openly about the hostile comments she encountered online following the announcement of her role.
At one point, I found myself searching for my name online and ended up on a Harry Potter fan site,” Leung shared on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast. “The comments were filled with hateful, racist remarks. To make matters worse, someone had created a website specifically to criticize the casting decision I was part of. By clicking a button, you could express your disapproval and see a count of how many people shared your view. It’s just terrible, truly awful.
Wow, I wonder where that actor is now, who portrayed the tragic heartthrob Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire“…
Indeed, you’re correct: Robert Pattinson was cast as the main character in another popular Young Adult series, “The Twilight Saga,” which stirred emotions worldwide. He portrayed the enigmatic vampire Edward Cullen across five movies, and developed a relationship with his on-screen partner, Kristen Stewart, during production.
After that, he has made a significant impact in acting, particularly in independent films such as “Maps to the Stars”, “Cosmopolis”, “The Rover”, “Good Time” and “The Lighthouse”. However, he shifted back to major studio productions by assuming the role of the famous DC superhero, donning the cape and scowl, in the 2022 blockbuster “The Batman”.
Once I was betrothed to FKA twigs, but since 2018, I’ve been in a relationship with the model and actress, Suki Waterhouse. We got engaged in December 2023, and our first child arrived in March 2024.
In a simple rephrasing, we can say: The tall and elegant Fleur Delacour hailing from Beauxbatons Academy in France, selected to represent her school in the Triwizard Tournament, later got married to Bill, who was Ron’s cool older sibling.
Over the past few years, Poésy has been consistently active in both film and television. She gained significant recognition for her roles in shows like “Gossip Girl,” “In Bruges,” “The Tunnel,” and “Genius: Picasso” on National Geographic Channel. The talented French actress also worked with Christopher Nolan in “Tenant,” alongside her former Harry Potter co-star, Robert Pattinson. Her latest projects include the Apple TV+ series “The Essex Serpent.” In the near future, she will take on a leading role in the highly anticipated spinoff of “The Walking Dead” titled “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” which centers around Norman Reedus’ beloved character from the zombie franchise.
Poésy has a son, Liam, who was born in 2017, and welcomed a second child in 2019.
She shared with The Guardian that her thoughts today revealed a deeper connection to women throughout history. The medical aspect of pregnancy and motherhood, along with childbirth, has sparked profound contemplation in her. This experience has only intensified her respect for women.
In the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the actress with a ethereal charm captivated audiences as the quirky yet brave Luna Lovegood. Yet, despite her memorable performance, she openly acknowledged facing difficulties in securing further acting roles following her involvement in the legendary series.
In 2019, Lynch shared with Bustle that it felt strange because we were receiving so much fan mail and attention, but this wasn’t mirrored in reality. It was challenging for me, as I believe for a while I yearned for the validation that comes from being part of a large film series, where everything you do is appreciated and praised.
Since 2015, Lynch has chosen a vegan lifestyle, and in 2018, she launched a compassionate, animal-friendly beauty brand called Kinder Beauty Box. Alongside Dr. Melanie Joy, she co-hosts the podcast “Just Beings“. In 2018, Lynch placed third on “Dancing With the Stars”, and in 2021, her debut book titled “The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting” hit the shelves.
She shared with Bustle that she maintains a particularly strong connection with Katie Leung (Pansy Parkington) and Scarlett Byrne, as they had planned to attend a New Year’s Eve party together to welcome 2020. Additionally, she often sees her fellow cast members at conventions. Lynch expressed that since the films, they have grown closer as they are all maturing into adults. For instance, she recently spent time with the Phelps twins (James and Oliver) over the weekend, a friendship that was not as strong during filming because of the age difference when they were both teenagers. Now, as adults, the age gap doesn’t seem so significant.
In more recent times, Draco’s loyal associate, Goyle, has significantly improved his behavior compared to his Slytherin days. He’s been seen in the British crime drama “Marcella” starring Anna Friel, a modern adaptation of “Robin Hood” on the big screen in 2018, as well as the crime miniseries “Murder at White House Farm” and the spy drama “Alex Rider”. In 2016, Goyle embarked on a career in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), but more recently appeared in the Disney+ series “Andor”.
Herdman is also dad to a son, Morgan, with longtime partner Jessica Worth.
Just like many Harry Potter antagonists, Dudley Dursley was a pleasant individual off-screen. Midway through the series, Melling underwent a fitness routine that significantly transformed his physique, coming close to being recast for Deathly Hallows Part 1. However, he managed to continue portraying Harry’s plump and spoiled cousin by using prosthetics. Although he looks quite different from those early days, Melling has maintained a steady acting career, appearing in productions such as The Lost City of Z, the Coen brothers’ The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and the HBO series His Dark Materials.
In my latest endeavors, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating once again with Joel Coen, this time playing Malcolm in his gripping adaptation of “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand delivered a riveting portrayal of the lethally ambitious duo. Not long ago, I also graced our TV screens as Harry Beltik in the smash hit Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” and shared the screen with Charlize Theron in Netflix’s high-octane action flick “The Old Guard.” To top it all off, last year, my portrayal of a young Edgar Allan Poe in “The Pale Blue Eye” earned me some fantastic critical acclaim.
