The main characters from the Harry Potter series. What happened to the actors from "Harry Potter"? Katie Leung - Zhou Chang

Mischief managed!

Rowling does not clarify many details regarding the future of the heroes in the seventh book. That is, it is clear that everything will be fine with them, but the fans want details. Rowling took pity on them and answered many questions from the “What happened then?” series.

Harry Potter, who always dreamed of becoming an Auror, will head the corresponding department in the Ministry of Magic. He will be appointed to this position by Kingsley Shacklebot/Brustover, new minister.
Harry will no longer be able to speak the snake language - the piece of Voldemort's soul that allowed him to understand snakes has died.
Hermione will find her parents in Australia, remove the spell she cast on them, and they will remember who they really are. Hermione would then go on to defend the rights of oppressed creatures (like house elves) in the Department of Magical Creatures Control. Then she will become an employee of the Special Forces of Wizards.
Shacklebot/Brustover (and Percy Weasley, who now holds a responsible position in the Ministry) will carry out reforms - they will ensure that dementors are removed from among the guards of Azkaban.
Harry's wife, Ginny Weasley, will devote herself to sports. She will play Quidditch for an all-female team. She would eventually leave the team so she could raise her children without interference. However, Ginny will write columns about Quidditch for the Daily Prophet newspaper.
Ron Weasley, along with his brother George, will be the owner of the Weasley's Magic Tricks shop for some time, then will join Harry as an Auror. George will remain in charge of the store. He will name his firstborn Fred, in honor of his deceased brother.
Luna Lovegood will become a prominent naturalist and marry the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them.
Neville Longbottom marries Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott. And Hannah will become the owner of the Leaky Cauldron tavern, and she and Neville will live in the room above this tavern.
Dolores Umbridge will be imprisoned for crimes against "mudblood" wizards.
The centaurs will make peace with the humans and welcome Firenze/Florenza back with open arms.
Chow Chang, Harry's first love, will marry a Muggle.

In several interviews, Joanne Rowling answered questions of interest to curious fans of the book. This allowed us to more accurately imagine full picture what happened, including what happened during Harry's time at Hogwarts and what happened afterwards. So, what was implied, but did not make it into the book.

Luna married Newt Scamander's grandson and now travels the world exploring magical creatures, her husband is also a naturalist

Jo changed her mind about talking about a man who showed magical abilities very late in life
Pettigrew rescued Voldemort's wand from the ruins of the Potter house by turning into a rat.

How Regulus Black learned about Horcruxes. Voldemort considered himself very, very smart and cunning, but his pride did not bring him to goodness, because he was not the only one who created Horcruxes. But he was the only one who made so many of them
Harry is the eighth Hocrux. There really were eight of them, but no one knew about it

To create the Horcruxes, Voldemort committed the following murders: Diary - Moaning Myrtle, Cup - Hepzibah Smith, medallion - Muggle tramp, Nagini - Bertha Jorkins, Ravenclaw tiara - Albanian peasant, Gaunt's ring - Tom Riddle Sr. The seventh and eighth parts of the soul are Harry and Voldemort himself

Mr. Weasley fixed Sirius's motorcycle and gave it to Harry
Centaur Firenze was accepted back into the herd
Snape was the only Death Eater who managed to summon a Patronus, in part due to the fact that Death Eaters had no need to defend themselves against Dementors
The fact that his Patronus takes the form of a doe is not a coincidence, it is really a double Patronus, the same one Lily had, because her husband could turn into a deer
By the way, Snape tried his best to avoid contact with the Order through a patronus so that no one would know about his feelings for Lily
Voldemort didn't become a ghost other world he remained in the form in which Harry saw him when he died
Hermione did not erase the memory of her parents, but simply inspired them to think that they were different people, so later she first used a memory erasing charm on the Death Eaters

Jo delayed the epilogue by nineteen years because she wanted her characters to live in peace for at least some time. Besides, she said, she didn’t want to “provoke teenage pregnancies.”
She never planned to kill Hagrid. The fact that he carried Harry out of the forest is similar to the moment when Hagrid led him into the world of magic, retaining the role of guide

Life after Hogwarts: what the actors who starred in “Harry Potter” are doing now

Last piece about Harry Potter was published almost ten years ago, but JK Rowling’s novels still remain bestsellers all over the world. What are the actors doing now, who one day woke up famous thanks to the film adaptation of cult books - the ZagraNitsa portal found out

Daniel Radcliffe

For the actor, who played the main role in the cult Potter series, many critics predicted a quick end to his career and even tried to label him a “one-role actor.” However, with his work in subsequent films, the matured Radcliffe proved that he could play not only a boy wizard, but also a hunchback in the film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel “Victor Frankenstein,” Dr. Vladimir Bomgard in “Notes of a Young Doctor,” and even a corpse in the film “The Penman.” In addition, today Daniel is known as theater actor. Despite the fact that one of his first roles in the theater caused a lot of hype - in "Equus" the actor appeared completely naked - he successfully continues to play on stage.

And although he has few awards in his arsenal, and he can only count on prestigious statuettes, Radcliffe has already been awarded a star on the Walk of Fame, and in 2009 he was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most highly paid actor decades.

Emma Watson

If Hermione lived in the Muggle world, there is no doubt that she would be exactly like Emma Watson. In 2014, the actress became the first ambassador good will UN Women launched the HeForShe campaign, in which it called on men to stand up for gender equality. Over three days, 100 thousand men joined the action, including Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston. And last year, Times magazine included Watson in its list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.” The actress's feminist activities did not end there - now Watson has given up filming for a year in order to devote herself to projects in the fight for women's rights.

As for working in films, many critics note the actress’s taste and serious approach to filming: Emma carefully selects films and refuses to act in films for the mass audience.

Rupert Grint

The last of the three main characters, red-haired Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, cannot boast of such successful career like his colleagues. After filming “Harry Potter” ended, Grint appeared in several films, but they did not bring him much popularity. Unlike Radcliffe and Watson, who were partly able to get rid of the “young wizards” cliché, viewers continue to associate Grint only with the Potter hero. Perhaps the reason for this is lack of ambition, which the actor spoke about more than once in his interviews.

Grint also tried his hand at business: in 2011, he opened hometown Hertfort hotel Rigsby’s Guest House, which had to be closed at the beginning of this year due to unprofitability. Nevertheless, the actor continues to own his own restaurant, Rigsby’s Piano Cafe.

Tom Felton

Tom Felton was one of the few actors who played in Harry Potter who did not cry after filming the final part. And not because at the casting he expected to get the role of Harry Potter, but because he, like no one else, wanted to try himself in a different role. Draco Malfoy on long years Felton was shackled - the actor regularly had his brown hair cut out to turn him blonde, and was even forbidden to sunbathe. It is not surprising that upon completion of filming he tried himself in different genres - from horror films to historical paintings. This year, four films with Tom Felton are scheduled to be released.

Matthew Lewis

Clumsy but brave Neville Longbottom has changed, perhaps more than other Potter actors. Lewis, who hasn't been heard much from since filming wrapped, surprised with his cover story for Attitude magazine last year. The actor’s photographs were hotly discussed in the press, but that’s where it all ended - Lewis rarely appears in films and occasionally plays in the theater.

Robert Pattison

Robert Pattinson, who played Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter, certainly doesn't have to complain about being haunted by the image of a Potter hero. Three years after filming the only part of the film adaptation of the novel (in which Diggory mercilessly killed Voldemort), Pattinson played in the acclaimed fantasy Twilight. Few people remember Cedric Diggory today, but the image of the vampire Edward Cullen is firmly entrenched in Pattinson, no matter how many films he starred in.

Gary Oldman

Unlike the younger one cast"Harry Potter", Gary Oldman, who played Sirius Black, was more than famous long before the film adaptation of Potter. He was responsible for the cult “Leon” and the popular “The Fifth Element”. But even the winner of the BAFTA statuettes, “Harry Potter” was able to make it even more popular. At the time of filming, Gary Oldman’s career was just beginning to decline, but upon completion, he was invited to play in “Batman,” “ The Dark Knight” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” which brought Oldman an Oscar nomination.

Maggie Smith

Winner of the Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA awards, Maggie Smith went through a difficult period in her life while filming Harry Potter: the actress had to fight cancer. Having successfully overcome the illness, the performer of the role of Professor McGonagall, after completing the Potter series, starred in the acclaimed series “Downton Abbey” and many top-rated films. One of the latest, “The Lady in the Van,” about an eccentric London old lady, brought 81-year-old Smith nominations for the Golden Globe and BAFTA awards.

Alan Rickman

In January of this year, not only fans of the Harry Potter films, but the whole world was shocked by the news of the death of Alan Rickman, who played Severus Snape in the Potter film. The actor, who primarily portrayed movie villains, was able to deliver a very convincing performance in the film adaptation of JK Rowling's novels. negative character(the denouement of the film does not count) and make the viewer fall in love with you. Many critics note that Rickman's main advantage was the timbre of his voice, which gave Snape a special charm.

For true Potter fans, there is the Harry Potter Museum near London. Read about why you simply must visit it.

Harry Potter is a character known to almost every child on the planet thanks to vivid film adaptations that have long become classics. Despite this, many fun facts from books about a young wizard did not make it into films. So, what interesting things from the biography of the boy with the scar remained behind the scenes?

Harry Potter films

The incredible popularity of the novels about the wizard of Privet Drive contributed to the decision to film them.

In 2001, based on the plot of the first book, a film of the same name was made, and a year later another one was made. So that the performers of the main roles did not grow too much and did not look much more mature than their heroes, in the future they began to appear at intervals of a year or two the following pictures franchises. The last novel was divided into 2 parts, and based on them two films were shot. The Harry Potter films have earned more than $7.5 billion at the box office and are the second most successful franchise in cinema history (after Marvel).

Prototype of a boy wizard

The creator of the Harry Potter novels admitted that she young hero- a collective image, but some of its features are taken from real people, with whom she was familiar. Appearance and Harry received his last name from JK Rowling’s old childhood friend, Ian Potter. Later, fearing lawsuits from his relatives, the writer denied this fact.

As for the character of the young wizard, many of his traits resemble Joan herself. Thus, his irrepressible longing for his dead parents, which runs like a red thread throughout the entire novel, is very close to Rowling, who lost her mother and bitterly experienced this loss throughout the years of work on the series.

Hero's parents

Harry Potter's father, James, was once one of the most talented Gryffindor students. Having learned that his close friend Remus Lupine was a werewolf, he did not turn away from him, but developed the abilities of an animagus (the ability to turn into a deer).

While studying at Hogwarts, James met the mudblood (both parents are human), but very capable Lily Evans. A spark of sympathy broke out between the young people, which over the long years of study grew into true love. James and Lily married and had a son, Harry.

How Harry became the chosen one

During the same period, a powerful Dark wizard came to power, taking the nickname Voldemort. Many submitted to his power, but there were also those who challenged the Dark Lord's tyranny. Among them were Harry Potter's parents. Becoming increasingly powerful, the Evil Magician learned of Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy, which spoke of the birth of a young wizard destined to destroy the Dark Lord. Deciding not to wait for the baby to grow up and get stronger, the sorcerer was going to kill him.

At that time, two wizard families had sons. They turned out to be Neville Longbottom and Harry. There is a version that if the evil sorcerer had tried to kill Neville, he would have become the chosen one, but the choice of the powerful sorcerer fell on the Potter baby.

Thanks to the betrayal of one of James's friends, the Dark Sorcerer found out where James, Harry and Lily were hiding, and came to destroy the child. The father, defending the family, was killed first. And the mother’s sacrificial love, which overshadowed her son, helped protect the boy from the deadly spell and directed all the power of the villain’s magic against him. If Voldemort had not previously divided his soul into pieces and hidden them in various subjects(horcruxes), he would have died. However, due to the reflected spell, he became simply a disembodied spirit who wandered the world for about 10 years, looking for a way to gain a body and take revenge on young Harry Potter.

Events before the rebirth of the Dark Lord

After that fateful night, Harry was left an orphan. For the first 11 years of his life he knew nothing about magical world. He was raised by the Dursley family (Petunia Dursley was Lily's sister), who abused the child as best they could. However, when the boy turned 11 years old, he learned the truth about wonderful world. Once at the school of witchcraft, he was very afraid that he would be sorted into Slytherin (a house known for dark wizard graduates) Harry Potter. Gryffindor was chosen by him because his parents studied here. Soon the boy with the scar managed to find true friends (Ron and Hermione), and also became a Quidditch seeker.

Meanwhile, the spirit of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did not give up trying to be revived. He entered Hogwarts and intended to steal the philosopher's stone, which could grant immortality. However, Harry and his friends unwittingly learned about the villain’s plans and were able to stop him.

In the second year of study, one of the Dark Lord's most loyal associates, Lucius Malfoy, threw younger sister Rona Weasley (Ginny) school diary of the Evil Wizard. This damned thing took over the girl’s mind and forced her to do terrible things and open the Chamber of Secrets, releasing the Basilisk from there. Setting the ancient monster against the unwanted students of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord intended to get even with old enemies, and at the same time gain flesh by killing Ginny. But Harry and his faithful friends were able to prevent evil.

In book 3, the character's biography acquires new details. So, the hero learns that he has a godfather - Sirius Black, who became an indirect culprit in the death of Harry's parents (he told the Dark Lord about the place where Lily and James were hiding), for which he served time in Azkaban. However, he recently escaped and is now hunting his godson. Being quite brave, young Potter dreamed of finding Black and avenging his parents. He managed to get on the trail of the fugitive, but it turned out that the traitor was not Sirius, but Peter Pettigrew, who, after the disappearance of his Master, hid from everyone, turning into Ron's rat. Harry manages to make friends with his godfather, but due to Peter's flight, it is impossible to prove Sirius's innocence, and Black is forced to go into hiding.

Meanwhile, the escaped Pettigrew finds what is left of Voldemort and helps him gain flesh using Harry's blood. To lure the boy, who is carefully guarded by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, the Dark Lord's associates force him to participate in a competition taking place at Hogwarts. Young Potter manages to escape death, but his friend Cedric Diggory dies.

Harry's participation in the fight against the Dark Magician

After the events of book 4 of the Harry Potter series, the biography and character of this hero change noticeably. JK Rowling justifies this by the character's maturation. In the new novel, the boy finds himself in disgrace with the Ministry of Magic because he claims that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has risen. They declare him a liar and try to get him expelled from Hogwarts, but through the efforts of Dumbledore, the guy remains a Gryffindor student.

The new teacher Dolores Umbridge, fearing a riot, does not teach the schoolchildren anything useful. Meanwhile, many who believe Harry want to learn how to defend themselves. To help them, Potter and his friends organize secret classes in self-defense against evil witchcraft. Harry's students call themselves "Dumbledore's Army." Umbridge manages to find all its participants and expel Albus Dumbledore from Hogwarts.

Meanwhile, the rebel Dark Lord wants to steal the record of Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy from the Ministry and learn it in full. To stop the Black Sorcerer and prove the veracity of his words, Harry and his companions escape from Umbridge and engage in battle with Voldemort's followers. Arriving members of the Order of the Phoenix (a secret organization fighting the Dark Lord) help the children cope with the Death Eaters, but die in the battle boy's godfather with a scar.

In the 5th novel, the main character and his friends manage to find out about the secret eternal life Voldemort (horcruxes). However, during the investigation, Albus Dumbledore dies, and Professor Snape (hiding under the pseudonym “Half-Blood Prince”) turns out to be a spy for the Dark Lord.

In the final novel, Harry Potter and the Hallows of Death, Harry and his two faithful companions decide to find the Horcruxes and destroy the Evil Wizard, who has seized power in the Ministry of Magic and is now doing his dirty work. Voldemort himself longs to find the most powerful one in history (Elderberry) and kill Potter with her help. Having obtained the coveted artifact, the wizard feels that the wand does not obey him.

In search of the last Horcruxes, Harry and his friends secretly return to Hogwarts, which is now led by Snape. It gradually becomes clear that he is not a traitor, but faithfully served Dumbledore and secretly protected the boy with the scar all these years. From him, Potter learns that he is the last Horcrux that the Dark Lord does not know about. Therefore, he must be killed by Voldemort himself. While Ron and Hermione destroy other artifacts Evil sorcerer, hidden in Hogwarts, Harry surrenders to the Dark Lord. He casts a deadly spell against him and believes that he has killed his sworn enemy. However, the boy manages to survive, and he and his comrades begin the final battle with the followers of Voldemort at Hogwarts.

During the final fight, the Dark Magician himself dies from his own deadly spell, since the Elder Wand recognized Harry as its owner and, protecting him, directed its power against Voldemort.

Personal life of the character

Almost from the very first book, many girls around the world were in love with its main character named Harry Potter. The boy's biography, meanwhile, in the first novels did not contain information about his heartfelt passions.

Only in book 4, Harry’s first crush became a talented Hogwarts student, Zhou Chan. Despite the fact that the girl liked Potter, at that time she was dating Cedric Diggory. After his death, Cho became a member of Dumbledore's Army, and she and Harry began an affair. But main character I didn’t know how to behave with her, so they often quarreled, and the girl was unreasonably jealous of her lover for Hermione. Due to a misunderstanding, Harry and Cho broke up. Although in future books Chan hinted to him that she would not mind starting over, at that time Potter already had another lover.

Second and main love Ginny Weasley became his life. This girl was in love with Harry from the moment she met, but for many years he did not pay attention to her. On Hermione's advice, Ginny began dating other guys to overcome her shyness. She succeeded, and not only turned into one of the most charming girls at Hogwarts, but also achieved a place as a player on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Gradually, Potter fell in love with the girl, and after the overthrow of the Dark Lord they got married.

The further fate of Harry Potter

After the final destruction of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the young man with the scar and his wife had three children. Their parents doted on them. Harry Potter's children were named by their father in honor of deceased loved ones. The hero named his eldest son in honor of his father and godfather - James Sirius; the second son was named Albus Severus in honor of Dumbledore and Snape; and the charming daughter was named Lily Luna (in honor of Lily Evans and Luna Lovegood). In addition to their offspring, the Potter couple also raised the orphaned son of Lupine and Tonks (Teddy).

Concerning professional achievements, then Harry leads the Aurors, and Ginny becomes a correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

In the play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child follows the adventures of Harry's middle son, Albus Severus. He and his friends find the last one and try to save Cedric Diggory. However, by interfering with the past, the children accidentally ensure that Voldemort remains alive and seizes power in the present, and Ron and Hermione do not marry.

Trying to return everything to its original state, Albus learns that the Dark Lord has a daughter, Delphi, who is trying to save her father from death. To stop her, Harry, his wife, friends and Draco Malfoy go back in time and prevent events from changing.

Daniel Radcliffe - performer of the role of Harry

The main character of JK Rowling's novel series was played by British actor Daniel Jacob Radcliffe in the epic film. Like all children of the late nineties, Daniel enthusiastically read novels about a young wizard, and when he learned about the casting, he gladly took part in it and received the main role. After the release of the first film about the young wizard, the actor who played Harry Potter became world famous. While Daniel starred in the franchise, he practically did not participate in other projects. The exception was the picture about Rudyard Kipling's son - “My Boy Jack”.

After Harry Potter, Radcliffe began to drink a lot, but was able to overcome his destructive passion and return to his profession. His most famous works recent years: the series “Notes of a Young Doctor” (based on the work of M. Bulgakov), the thrillers “The Woman in Black” and “Horns,” as well as the films “Victor Frankenstein” and “The Swiss Army Man.”

Interesting facts

• Harry Potter's birthday is July 31, 1980.
• This hero has dark hair, eyes emerald color and a thin build.
• After the first overthrow of the Evil Wizard, the poor orphan became his accidental Horcrux, which the villain himself did not know about, and therefore dreamed of killing Potter.
• Before the Horcrux inside Harry was destroyed, the guy had the ability to understand and speak the snake language.
• First Magic wand the hero had a phoenix wing as its core. Interestingly, the Dark Lord's wand was made from the feather of the same bird. After the boy disarmed Draco, the Elder Wand began to obey him (Malfoy had previously taken it from Dumbledore in a duel). In the movie, at the end, Harry breaks the most powerful wand, depriving it of its power. However, in the book, the hero returned the almighty wand to Dumbledore's crypt, believing that when he died a natural death, the artifact would lose its power.

• The boy with the scar's patronus is a stag (like his father's).
• Harry has several scars on his body. The most famous is the trace of the Dark Lord's spell (in the form of lightning). The guy had a round mark on his chest from the horcrux medallion that he had to wear for a long time. Also on one of the hands there is a scar from Nagini’s teeth, and on the other the inscription “I must not lie” is burned (the consequences of Dolores Umbridge’s punishment).
• Unlike the film adaptation, the book mentions not two, but four brooms of the main character. The first was a toy (it was given to Harry Potter by his godfather for his first birthday). The second (“Nimbus 2000”) was a gift from the dean of Gryffindor, Minevra McGonagall. The third (“Lightning”) was again given by his godfather. And the fourth was a cute Christmas souvenir from Nymphadora Tonks.
• JK Rowling made a lot of plot holes when she worked on the Harry Potter series. The biography of many heroes contains inconsistencies. One of the most notable of these is the cause of the Dark Lord's death. It is not clear why Harry's subordinate did not destroy He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named the moment he first used a deadly spell against Potter.
• The actor who played Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe, has dyspraxia. Because of this, he cannot tie his shoelaces. Perhaps that's why Ginny does it instead of him in the movie.

Despite the fact that nearly two decades have passed since the publication of the debut novel about the young wizard of Privet Drive, this story continues to excite to this day. Particularly ardent fans, inspired by the world of Harry Potter, write their own fan fiction about the adventures of this hero. Who knows, perhaps in the distant future, based on one of these works, a new film about a hero named Harry Potter will be made. Biography of a loved one by millions fairy tale character thus will continue.

Tom became famous overnight for his role as the two-faced Draco Malfoy in the fantasy film Harry Potter. In honor of Felton's birthday, we decided to find out what happened to the other young wizards of Potter, how they have changed and whether they continue to play in films.

Tom's hero is a Slytherin student, the son of the head of the Hogwarts board of trustees, an enemy of Harry Potter named Draco Malfoy.

Him blonde hair, pale and thin skin, cold-blooded grey eyes, thin build, disgusting and vile character. Throughout the entire series of the film, he hated Harry, Ron and Hermione, and played disgusting dirty tricks, but ultimately the hostility between the four ended.

In real life, Tom is very different from his character - he is a kind and sweet guy (by the way, Emma Watson was in love with him for a long time), who had experience acting in films before Harry Potter. For example, he can be seen in “Thieves”, “Anna and the King”, “Second Sight: A Game of Hide and Seek”, “Escape from Vegas”, “Thirteen Hours”, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, “The Apparition”, “Therese Raquin” . Tom was able to establish himself as talented actor, who can play any role.

Daniel received the role of the main wizard and adversary of Voldemort at the age of 10.

Interestingly, after receiving leading role in his life, the boy had to leave school because his classmates were jealous of him, which is why they bullied him, to put it mildly.

Many thought that Radcliffe would become a hostage to one role and would not be able to break out of the role of Potter, but this did not happen. Daniel was and is being invited to play in other films and theater productions.

Thus, he played the stable boy Alan Strang in the erotic play “Equus”, however, many parents were shocked by the radical change in the image of the “young wizard” and even forbade their children to watch films with his participation. Daniel also played leading roles in the films “December Boys”, “The Woman in Black”, “Notes of a Young Doctor”, “Kill Your Darlings”, “Friendship and No Sex?” and "Horns". In the near future, other films with his participation will be released on big screens - the long-awaited “Frankenstein” and the no less interesting “Now You See Me: The Second Act.”

Emma played Hermione Granger - a brave and self-confident arrogant, best friend Harry Potter, a girl with an uneven bite and tousled hair.

The girl received this role at the age of 9 and for a long time lived as a sorceress, while also playing in other films.

Emma's other roles include aspiring actress Paulina Fossil in Ballet Shoes, assistant Lucy in 7 Days and Nights with Marilyn, reckless Sam in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, thief Nikki in High Society, and Ila in Noah.

In addition to acting in films, Emma managed to obtain a higher education at Brown University, launched a global campaign for gender equality, He for She, and participates in advertising campaigns for famous brands.

From the sweet sorceress Hermione, Emma has turned into a real style icon and a truly sought-after actress.

Rupert got the role of Ron Weasley at the age of 11, and it became the boy's first acting job.

His hero grew up in a large family of wizards, was the first to make friends with Harry Potter, got into various troubles with him and was a real “moron” (at least that’s what Hermione thought for the first few years). As he grew older, Ron (and Rupert, respectively) became more courageous, more brutal and... more and more irresistible.

In addition to filming the Harry Potter series, Rupert starred in other projects - Thunder in Pants, Driving Lessons, Cherry Bomb, Wild Thing, In White Captivity, Dangerous Illusion, The Club CBGB" and "Super Clyde". To focus on acting career, Grint had to drop out of school. Interestingly, like his hero Ron Weasley, Rupert is afraid of spiders. After filming of "Potter" ended, Daniel, Emma and Rupert maintained friendly relations.

The Irish actress played the eccentric, kind and always surprised Ravenclaw student.

Evanna was a real fan of the Harry Potter book series, which drove herself to the point of anorexia, and corresponded with JK Rowling herself. Evanna couldn't believe her luck when she was cast in the role of Luna Lovegood, and the girl first appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The actress not only played her character, she became him.

Not a single viewer had any doubt that Luna looked somehow different from how Evanna plays her. Note that Lynch’s acting career stalled precisely on “Potterian,” although she appeared in episodes of some films and TV series.

The twin brothers who played Fred and George Weasley in the film adaptation of JK Rowling's series of novels: they always go together and have an unrivaled sense of humor, especially while studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Fred and George did not finish school, but opened a store called “All kinds of magical pests”. The further acting careers of James and Oliver did not develop as rosy as those of their colleagues.

In addition to “Harry Potter”, the brother actors only played in the series “Peter Kingdom Won’t Leave You”, the films “District 3”, “ Latin Quarter" and "Hamlet". But who knows what awaits them in the future?

The actress played another member of the large Weasley family, Ginny.

The heroine Bonnie has good taste, bottomless eyes and fiery red hair, masterfully wields the “Bat Evil Eye” spell and is passionately in love with Harry. By the way, these feelings will gradually become mutual. Starting from her fourth year, Ginny becomes very attractive, which is why she receives a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

In addition to Potter, Wright starred in other films, including The Robinson Family, Understudies, The Geography of an Unfortunate Heart, and The Philosophers. A Survival Lesson”, “Shakespeare’s Daughter”, “Before Bed” and others.

Currently, Bonnie is participating in the filming of four films, is actively appearing in commercials and is one of the most promising young actresses.

The actor became famous for his role as the clumsy, forgetful and timid Neville Longbottom (as he was before he grew up).

Towards the end of "Potteriana", his character, as well as his appearance, changes greatly - he becomes fearless, even brutal, and participates in most of the dangerous missions of the main characters.

Matthew appeared in all eight Potter films, and also manages to play in other films: “It’s Called Life”, “Dalziel and Pascoe”, “Heartbeat”, “ Children's holiday in the Palace", "Wasteland" and "Sweet Shop".

After his miraculous transformation into a Hollywood sex symbol, Matthew became simply the idol of millions of girls around the world.
