Harry Potter’s Evanna Lynch Debuts Magical New Look

As I delve into the lives of these enchanting Harry Potter alumni, I am struck by their extraordinary journeys and the magic they continue to weave in their respective fields. From Goyle cleaning up his act on British crime dramas to Dudley Dursley’s transformation from spoiled brat to versatile actor, it seems that Hogwarts may have been just the beginning for these talented individuals.

Blondes don’t always have more fun.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d say: “Just like Evanna Lynch, the charming actress from Harry Potter, switched her iconic bleached locks for a mesmerizing dark hairstyle as seen in a recent video she posted on social media on December 4th.

In the video, the actress, known for portraying Luna Lovegood in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s popular book series, wore her hair in a ponytail with her fringes swept to one side while she shared her personal ties to the franchise. This included naming some of her cats after certain characters from the books.

In a TikTok video uploaded by Food Network, she stated: “I had Harry, I had Dumbledore, but Luna abandoned me. She grew weary of us and departed unexpectedly. For some time, we were unsure of her whereabouts, until we discovered she was residing with the neighbor next door.

Yet, it’s worth noting that the dark hair color isn’t a recent change, as the 33-year-old herself had disclosed this dyed look back in a 2023 photo she shared on her now-inactive Instagram account.

Evanna noted at that point, as reported by the Daily Mail, “I’ve always felt more comfortable as a blonde, but lately in all my dreams, I find myself with these luxurious, shimmering dark locks. It feels like a mysterious, darker version of myself is following me, so I decided to embody her!

Since the conclusion of the Harry Potter film series in 2011, Evanna has maintained her connections to the franchise. Notably, she reconnected with her co-stars Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and twins James Phelps and Oliver Phelps in 2019 at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida. During this gathering, they collectively cast levitation spells with fans, who cheered on with cries of “Wingardium Leviosa.

Keep reading to see what Evanna and the rest of the young stars of Harry Potter are up to now.

Daniel Radcliffe, known for his portrayal of Harry Potter, remains eternally thankful for the part that opened up a world of opportunities for him. Simultaneously, he’s been working diligently to shed the vestiges of being a child star from his acting persona. This transformation began with his bold choice to debut on Broadway in Equus in 2007, where he was required to appear nude. Following this, he took on the lighter and more optimistic role in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in 2011. Since then, he’s been moving between theater (The Cripple of Inishmaan, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) and film (The Woman in Black, Victor Frankenstein), favoring dramatic or absurd roles.

Without a doubt, Radcliffe embraces dark humor, be it on television as a morphine-addicted doctor or a low-level angel attempting to stop God from destroying the world, or playing a flatulent corpse in “Swiss Army Man” (2016). He was starring in Samuel Beckett’s “Endgame” at the Old Vic in London until live theater and all other activities were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, he has appeared as the antagonist alongside Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in their 2022 romantic comedy “The Lost City,” and portrayed musician “Weird Al” Yankovic in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” a biographical parody film for The Roku Channel.

Since 2010, Radcliffe has been sober and openly discussed his past struggles with excessive drinking. As the Harry Potter series was wrapping up, he found himself more famous than he had ever imagined, which led to anxiety about his future life choices.

He stated on the show “Off Camera With Sam Jones” in 2019 that one effective method for him to stop thinking about being observed is by getting extremely intoxicated.

As you grow increasingly intoxicated, you start to realize, “Ah, it seems people are paying more attention since I’m getting quite drunk. Guess I should drink a bit more to help me forget this fact better.

Daniel Radcliffe has been dating actress Erin Darke since they worked together on the 2013 film “Kill Your Darlings,” where he portrayed poet Alan Ginsberg. Recently, a representative for Radcliffe confirmed to TopMob News that the couple is welcoming their first child in March.

Born in Paris and raised in Oxfordshire, the young lady had merely a handful of school plays under her belt when she landed the role of Hermione Granger, marking her debut in professional acting. Following the completion of the seven Harry Potter films, Watson balanced her time between studying at Brown University (graduating in 2014 with a degree in English literature) and appearing in independent movies like “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “The Bling Ring”. In the latter film, she stepped out of Hermione’s rule-abiding persona to portray a member of a group of spoiled yet troubled young thieves who began burglarizing celebrity homes.

In her career, Watson, known for gracing runways for Burberry and Lancôme, starred in the successful 2017 live-action version of Beauty and the Beast as Belle. Later, in 2019, she portrayed Meg, a character with traditional values, in Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation of Little Women. Beyond acting, Watson has become an activist, particularly focusing on gender equality. She launched the HeForShe campaign as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in 2014 and continues to be a vocal proponent for equal opportunities in the entertainment industry and beyond.

Previously, she dated Will Adamowicz, Matthew Janney, William “Mack” Knight, and Leo Robinson. However, at present, she’s contentedly in a relationship with Brandon Green. In May 2021, she refuted rumors about her acting career being on hold by tweeting, “Speculations about whether my career is ‘inactive or not’ are tactics to generate headlines whenever they are confirmed as either true or false.

As I watched the earth, it seemed like the charming lad from Essex miraculously emerged to become Harry Potter’s trusted friend, Ron Weasley. That’s Grint for you – a man who, after his significant milestone post-Potter (being part of the Olympic Torch relay before the 2012 London Olympics, an experience he called ‘amazing’ and one he’d keep close to heart forever), has primarily graced British stages. He’s left an indelible mark in productions such as BBC One’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The ABC Murders, the dark comedy Sick Note on Sky One, and shared screen space with Lindsay Lohan among others. His repertoire extends to films like CBGB, portraying the iconic punk-rock club in New York, and the French comedy Moonwalkers. Currently, you can find him on Apple TV+ in M. Night Shyamalan’s supernatural mystery series, Servant, which returned for a second season, and he also starred in Shyamalan’s horror film, Knock at the Cabin.

In 2018, during an interview with Radio Times, Grint shared that his life took a drastic turn when he landed the role of Ron. He described it as a peculiar period and admitted it took him a considerable amount of time to fully understand the impact. Even now, he sometimes finds it challenging to blend in, longing for simple moments like a trip to B&Q.

Apart from stating this, he expressed, “Following Potter, I found myself uncertain about my future plans. There was a sense of longing for typical experiences that I felt I had missed out on. Many of my school friends drifted away. In search of a renewed life, I decided to take some time off. I’ve never been overly driven or ambitious. However, there has always been a part of me, especially after Potter, that yearns to prove myself. Yet, I am also inherently insecure by nature.

Whatever he did during the audition was effective, Shyamalan explained to EW.com about Grint. He said, “He came in and gave an audition, and I saw a completely different individual. I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed this level of transformation from a child actor to an adult actor in my career, it’s astounding.

Back in May 2020, Evan Grint and his long-term partner, Georgia Groome, became parents for the first time, giving birth to a beautiful baby girl named Wednesday G. Grint.

There’s no question that the individual once known for portraying the shy Neville Longbottom has created a significant stir, particularly since rumors about Lewis’ adult attractiveness have spread worldwide.

Lewis is predominantly known for his work on British stages and screens, with notable roles such as the BBC One miniseries “The Syndicate”, the emotional film “Me Before You” from 2016, and the 2018 thriller “Terminal” alongside Margot Robbie. In 2015, he expressed delight over his experience playing a soldier in the BBC Three dramedy “Bluestone 42”, which centered around a bomb disposal squad in Afghanistan.

Lewis shared with RadioTimes.com that Potter was exceptional and unlike anything he’s ever been a part of, yet he feels particularly invested in and proud of Bluestone 42. He’s enjoyed being involved in it significantly more than any other role he’s played as an actor, undeniably so.

In January 2020, on the Mantality podcast, he mentioned that he had been filming the Channel 5 remake of All Creatures Great and Small – a modern take on the original BBC series that aired from 1978 to 1990, which was based on James Herriot’s books. Although it may not be widely recognized, Lewis pointed out that this title holds some significance in Britain (and is now available as Masterpiece on PBS).

He’s a rather private individual, however, it’s been established that he tied the knot with Angela Jones back in 2018. In October 2019, they made a visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter World, which was the same location where they initially crossed paths. Currently, they reside in Florida, being Jones’ hometown.

In reality, the infamous Draco Malfoy (twice honored with MTV Movie Awards for Best Villain) was actually a golden-hearted individual with platinum hair. During the summer of 2011, he appeared in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” but since then he has taken on roles in films less reliant on CGI, notably the period pieces “Belle” and “A United Kingdom.

He blew fanboys-and-girls’ minds showing up as Julian “Dr. Alchemy” Albert on the CW’s The Flash in 2016. Additionally, Felton starred on the YouTube Premium sci-fi drama Origin and the films OpheliaBraking for Whales and the World War II thriller Burial. Also a singer-songwriter, he has released several EPs over the years as well, and his Instagram, where he delightfully makes soup, plays guitar, hangs out with his dog and has the occasional Potter reunion, is one of the most joyful places on the Internet. 

As a lifestyle guide, I’ve had the unique experience of being romantically involved with none other than Jade Olivia Gordon, who later became Draco Malfoy’s wife in those captivating flash-forwards. Our journey together spanned an impressive seven years, concluding in 2016.

He confessed, “For a long time, I’ve harbored a hidden affection for Emma, although maybe not in the straightforward manner one usually thinks of. This doesn’t mean that there wasn’t ever some sort of connection between us. In fact, there was, but it didn’t always happen at the same time.

Although no romantic bond developed between them, Felton maintained a deep affection for Emma, cherishing her not only as a friend but also as someone he deeply respected.

The young redhead actress began portraying Ginny Weasley when she was barely 10 years old, eventually evolving from “Ron’s younger sister” to Harry Potter’s romantic interest throughout the movies. In 2011, Wright received the Most Edgy Style Award at the Rodial Beauty Awards and showcased her fashion debut by walking the runway for London-based designer Katie Eary during London Fashion Week.

In 2012, following her graduation from London College of Communication, Wright established her own production company, BonBonLumière. Apart from acting in movies like “After the Dark” and “Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?”, not associated with the Harry Potter series, she has also penned and directed her personal short films, such as “Separate We Come, Separate We Go,” starring David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), “Know Thyself” featuring Christian Coulson, who portrayed Tom Riddle, and “Medusa’s Ankles,” which includes Jason Isaacs, known for his role as Lucius Malfoy. In 2021, Wright published her debut book, “Go Gently,” providing advice to readers on getting involved in the climate movement.

In December 2019, Wright gathered with Watson, Felton, Lewis, and Evanna Lynch during a reunion. Fortunately, someone snapped a photo of the occasion. Wright titled the image “Time Turning,” emphasizing the moment with a lightning bolt symbol.

Previously, she was betrothed to the actor Jamie Campbell Bower, famously known for portraying Sweeney Todd and a young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, but they ended their relationship in 2012. Following this, she spent several years with Simon Hammerstein before finding lasting love with Andrew Lococo in 2020. The couple tied the knot in March 2022, and Bonnie revealed in April 2023 that they are expecting their first child together.

It’s worth noting that Fred and George Weasley, known for their unique personalities and as Hogwarts’ master pranksters, were portrayed by real-life twins. The older one, Oliver, was born 13 minutes ahead and has a mole on the right side of his neck. They have gone on to play twin roles in other films like “Our Own Worst Enemy” and “Last Night in Soho,” both directed by Edgar Wright. Meanwhile, James, their twin, has ventured into more individual acting projects.

Oliver got married to Katie Humpage in 2015 and has two daughters, whereas James tied the knot with Annika Ostle a year later.

The brothers remain as close as ever, hosting a podcast together called Normal Not Normal and have interviewed former co-stars such as Evanna Lynch, Katie Leung and Alfred Enoch.

As a dedicated admirer, I’d like to share my journey following the career of a talented British actor. He initially graced the Hogwarts student ensemble as Dean Thomas, a fellow Gryffindor, and then delved into numerous English theater productions and made appearances in shows such as Broadchurch and Sherlock. His breakthrough role came on the hit series How to Get Away With Murder, where he portrayed Wes, a well-meaning law student who, despite his good intentions, found himself entangled in moral complexities that ultimately led to his downfall. However, in an unexpected twist, he reappeared for a cameo in the final season of 2020 as – beware of spoilers! – Wes’ own son. Most recently, he has been seen on Apple TV+’s Foundation, and I am delighted to mention that he is also an alumnus of The Queen’s College, Oxford.

Chris Columbus was searching for a teenager aged 15 to 17 years old to portray the 16-year-old Tom Riddle in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” but it was the 23-year-old Coulson who ended up getting the role. Since then, he has been active in both film and television, gaining recognition for his roles as Damien George on “Nashville,” Sebastian in the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime series “Mozart in the Jungle,” and Benjamin in the Hulu reboot of “High Fidelity,” which is set in Brooklyn and features Zoë Kravitz as the lead character, a record store owner who uses lists to navigate her romantic entanglements.

Following a fierce competition against about 3,000 other contenders, the classically-trained Scottish actress who portrayed Harry Potter’s love interest, Cho Chang in the era of “Goblet of Fire”, has made a name for herself in theater and television in the UK. Notably, she appeared in series like “White Dragon” and “Chimerica”, and most recently in the BBC One limited series “The Nest”. On the silver screen, she was the daughter of Jackie Chan’s character (who seeks revenge for his death in a terrorist bombing throughout the film) in the 2017 action-thriller “The Foreigner”. Currently, she is starring in the Amazon Prime TV series “The Peripheral”, which was recently renewed for a second season. In an Instagram post from December 2022, Leung announced the birth of her first child, a son named Wolf.

In March 2021, Leung, a person of Chinese origin, spoke openly about the harassment she experienced online following the announcement of her role.

On one occasion, I found myself browsing through various sites, and I stumbled upon a Harry Potter fan community. Among the comments, I recall encountering a disturbing amount of racist remarks. To make matters worse, someone had created a hate site, where if you disagreed with the casting choice, clicking on a button would increment a count of dissenters. It was truly disheartening to see such a tally increase. Truly, it’s a terrible and heartbreaking situation.

Oh, I wonder what became of the actor who portrayed the tragic romantic character Cedric Diggory from “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, where he portrayed the enigmatic vampire Edward Cullen across five movies. During this period, he also developed a relationship with his co-star, Kristen Stewart.

Ever since, I’ve been utterly captivated by his acting prowess. He’s truly shone in indie films such as Maps to the Stars, Cosmopolis, The Rover, Good Time, and The Lighthouse. Yet, it was when he slipped into the iconic cape and scowl as the main character in 2022’s The Batman that he once again graced the big-budget blockbuster scene.

Earlier, Robert Pattinson was set to marry FKA twigs. However, since 2018, he has been in a relationship with model and actress Suki Waterhouse.

In a more relaxed phrasing, we can say that the tall and elegant Fleur Delacour, hailing from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France, was selected to represent her school in the Triwizard Tournament. Later on, she got married to Ron Weasley’s stylish older brother Bill.

Ever since, Poésy has consistently made her mark in both film and television, notably on “Gossip Girl,” “In Bruges,” the crime series “The Tunnel” (both English and French versions), and “Genius: Picasso” on National Geographic Channel. The talented French actress also worked with Robert Pattinson, her former competitor from “Triwizard Tournament,” in Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet.” She can currently be seen in the Apple TV+ series “The Essex Serpent.” In the near future, she will take on a leading role in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” an eagerly awaited spinoff focusing on beloved character Daryl Dixon, portrayed by Norman Reedus, from the popular 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 have deepened her connection to women across centuries. The medical aspect of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in those times brings about a great deal of contemplation. It has only served to strengthen my respect and admiration for women.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: In my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to portray the enchanting Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter series, particularly in ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’. Playing a scatterbrained yet heroic character like her was truly magical. However, much like many others who have graced iconic franchises, I found it challenging to secure acting roles post-Harry Potter.

Back in 2019, Lynch shared with Bustle that it felt strange because despite the influx of fan mail and public attention, this wasn’t mirrored in everyday life. It proved challenging for me, as I yearned for a while to experience the validation that comes from being part of a huge movie franchise, where everything you do is appreciated and praised.

Since 2015, Lynch has been a vegan, and in 2018, she launched a clean and cruelty-free beauty brand called Kinder Beauty Box. She also co-hosts a podcast titled “Just Beings” with Dr. Melanie Joy. In 2018, Lynch placed third on “Dancing With the Stars,” and in 2021, she published her debut book, “The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting.

As a lifestyle expert looking back at my time in the Harry Potter series, I must say that I’ve maintained a special connection with Katie Leung (Pansy Parkington) and Scarlett Byrne. We were planning to celebrate New Year’s Eve together in 2020, marking another year since our magical adventures on set. In fact, I often run into many of my former castmates at conventions.

In more recent times, Draco’s associate Goyle, who was known for his past in Slytherin, has made positive changes. Most notably, he has appeared in the British crime drama ‘Marcella’ alongside Anna Friel, the 2018 remake of ‘Robin Hood’, the crime miniseries ‘Murder at White House Farm’, the spy drama ‘Alex Rider’, and more recently, had a minor role in Disney+’s ‘Andor’. Additionally, he started his career in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in 2016.

Herdman is also dad to a son, Morgan, with longtime partner Jessica Worth.

As a lifestyle expert, I might say: Just like many fans perceived Dudley Dursley as a bully in the Harry Potter series, in reality, he was a decent fellow. During the making of the films, Melling, who played Dudley, transformed his physique through regular workouts and nearly needed to be recast for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1’. However, with the help of prosthetics, Melling continued portraying Harry’s overweight and spoiled cousin. Though he looks quite different from those early days, Melling has maintained a steady career in acting, appearing in movies such as ‘The Lost City of Z’, ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ directed by the Coen brothers, and the HBO series ‘His Dark Materials’.

Lately, Melling collaborated once more with Joel Coen, starring as Malcolm in the director’s adaptation of Macbeth titled The Tragedy of Macbeth. Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand portrayed the ruthlessly ambitious lead pair in this production. Previously, Melling played Harry Beltik in the popular Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit and shared screen time with Charlize Theron in the action movie The Old Guard on a streaming platform. Last year, he garnered critical acclaim for his role as a young Edgar Allan Poe in The Pale Blue Eye.
