Actors from the Harry Potter films who clearly used the flywheel of time

Anyone who at one time was a fan of books and films about Harry Potter, or still believes that nothing more brilliant has been invented since that moment, probably wondered what happened to all the kids who starred in this famous franchise for ten years.

It would seem that the first film was released yesterday, and now they are completely grown-up, independent and successful actors. Some, however, have abandoned the acting path, and only occasionally some reports about their lives appear in the media. In general, time flew by so imperceptibly that you can't help but wonder: did all these graduates of Hogwarts use the flywheel of time?

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)

Daniel was only 11 years old when he was cast in a role that changed his life forever. Since the Harry Potter epic ended (is it really over?), he has played major roles in several plays and Hollywood films, including The Woman in Black and Horns. Recently we saw him in the role of Igor in the movie "Victor Frankenstein". He now lives in Lower Manhattan in New York City with actress Erin Dark.

Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood)

After playing the strange but pretty Luna, Evanna continued her acting career with roles in the TV series "Sinbad" and "When the best friend is Gay," but her path was not as easy as the others. Evanna was admitted to the hospital with anorexia at the age of 11, around the same time when the fifth part of the Harry Potter series of books was published, in 2003. She was so in love with this franchise that her family consulted with the publisher and the girl was allowed to leave the hospital for one hour to get her signed copy of the book. It was this passion that led her to the role of Luna at an open audition. Since then, she has used her fame to promote healthy self-esteem and perception of her own body among girls.

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)

Rupert, who played Harry Potter's sidekick from 2001 to 2011, dropped out of school at 16 and has since taken up an acting career. His filmography includes such hits as "Wild Thing", "Cherry Bomb" and "Driving Lessons". Rupert is known for carefully hiding his personal life from the public, but, according to rumors, he now has a permanent girlfriend.

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)

Since Emma Watson got the role of Hermione in 2001, her career has developed rapidly and successfully. After completing the filming of the franchise, she starred in such films as "It's Good to be Quiet", "Elite Society" and "Noah", as well as in Burberry advertising campaigns. In addition, Emma received a degree in English literature from Brown University. "Beauty and the Beast" will be released soon, where Emma plays the main role, Belle. The actress calls herself a feminist and participates in high-profile campaigns for women's rights.

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)

Looking at this handsome man in the photo on the right, it's hard to believe that he played the implacable enemy of Harry Potter in all eight films. Tom is now 27 years old, and his other famous role is in the film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in 2011. He also participated in the BBC3 documentary show Meet the Superfans ("Meet the Superfans"), where he interviewed the most devoted fans of TV series and films, including the Harry Potter films. He can often be seen in the company of Jade Gordon, with whom he has been dating for seven years.

Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley)

Harry played Harry Potter's nasty and bullying cousin Dudley. As soon as the shooting was over, the actor set out to lose weight and, thanks to diet and physical activity, he succeeded very well in this. Although he has played several roles on the big screen, Harry is better known as a theater actor, engaged in productions such as King Lear.

Bonnie Raitt (Ginny Weasley)

Bonnie played Ron Weasley's younger sister and Harry Potter's crush, but the actress turned out to have other talents. In 2012, she received a bachelor's degree in arts, starred in advertising campaigns, like Emma Watson, and is now developing her abilities in the field of screenwriting, directing and producing.

James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley)

Firstly, it is impossible to believe that these two are no longer redheads, like all Weasleys. After the filming of "Harry Potter" ended, the twins did not play a single major role in the movie. It is known that they are fond of music and golf and often go to various music festivals. Now the twins live between England and the USA, where they hope to further develop a career in cinema.

Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom)

Matthew is an actor from the Harry Potter films, who received perhaps the most press attention after the end of filming, and mainly due to the incredible transformation from an ugly duckling into a real handsome man. This image was successfully fixed by a photo shoot in underwear for Attitude magazine in May 2015. Now the actor works a lot in TV projects, including on the BBC3 channel.

Jesse Cave (Lavender Brown)

Jessie made her debut in the movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" as the obsessive Lavender, Ron Weasley's girlfriend. Now she combines an acting career and a quieter life and work as an illustrator. She recently released her first comic book, Lovesick. In addition, Jessie has a child, and she often posts photos of herself with her son on social networks.

Katie Leung (Cho Chang)

Harry Potter's first girlfriend is also quite an adult. Having played Cho Chang, Katie hesitated whether to continue acting, but since then she has played several roles in theater and television productions, including in the Channel 4 series "Run" (Run). She also took an acting course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. The girl is also fond of art and photography.

Afshan Azad (Padma Patil)

Recently, Afshan caused a violent reaction from social media users by posting several charming selfies on her Instagram, which show that she is no longer the little girl that Ron Weasley invited to the New Year's ball. The actress now lives in Manchester and often posts her pictures on social networks, like most ordinary 27-year-old girls.

Shefali Chaudhary (Parvati Patil)

Padma's twin sister on screen, Shefali is much less active on the Internet than Afshan, and the role in Harry Potter is her only acting job so far, except for the 2015 short film. It seems that the girl decided to focus on getting an education, and not on a career in cinema. She already has a degree from Birmingham City University.

Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan)

Before playing a classmate of Harry Potter (a role he himself described as "a stupid Irish kid who constantly explodes"), Devon had already starred in various productions, including the films "This is my Father" (This is my Father) and "Angela's Ashes" (Angela's Ashes). Nevertheless, after Harry Potter, Devon has not yet had major roles in film and television projects.

Alfred Enock (Dean Thomas)

Alfred is now 26 years old, and after filming in the Harry Potter films, where he played his friend Dean Thomas, he took up filming in television series. He starred in the ABC TV series "How to Get Away with Murder" (How to Get Away with Murder), as well as in episodes in the TV series "Sherlock" and "Murder on the Beach" (Broadchurch). Like many of his colleagues in the Harry Potter films, he also plays in the theater.

Clemence Poesy (Fleur Delacour)

With such an attractive appearance, it is not surprising that Clemence, after the role of Fleur, worked a lot as a model for brands such as Gap and Chloé. She also starred in several popular films, including "Laying Low in Bruges" (In Bruges), which also starred Brendan Gleeson (Alastor "Mad Eye" in the Harry Potter films) and Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort). Then came a film with Clemence called "The Floor Below" (The Ones Below).
