Aside from Harry Potter, Enoch is best known for starring as Wes on the hit ABC series How to Get Away With Murder during its first three seasons. Enoch has also had some smaller TV roles and acted on stage following his time playing Dean. Another character on the same level as Dean was his friend Seamus Finnigan, known for being disruptive and accidentally causing explosions in class. Seamus was played by Devon Murray. While the Irish actor doesn’t have any new acting credits to his name since Harry Potter, he was one of the few child actors who actually had some experience before making the films. In 1999, Murray played Middle Malachy in the adaptation of Angela’s Ashes. Murray and his partner Shannon McCaffrey welcomed a baby in Jan. 2021. Harry’s bully cousin was played by Harry Melling. Unfortunately for Melling, he didn’t get to take part in the Hogwarts scenes or hang out with all the other young actors. As an adult actor, Melling has taken on a variety of roles in films including The Lost City of Z, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Old Guard, and The Devil All the Time, the latter of which also starred fellow Harry Potter actor Robert Pattinson.

After the movies, Azad turned her attention toward modeling and is represented by BMA Models. She’s also popular on Instagram and has a lifestyle and fashion focused YouTube channel. She married Nabil Kazi in 2017. Padma’s twin, Parvati, was played by Shefali Chowdhury from Goblet of Fire onward. In Prisoner of Azkaban, she was played by Sitara Shah. Parvati attends the Yule Ball with Harry and is a member of Gryffindor House. Post-Potter, Chowdhury has acted in a few short films, most recently in 2019’s Odilo Fabian or (The Possibility of Impossible Dreams). But unlike her co-stars, there isn’t much other information about her publicly available. (Hence why this photo is from 2007.) Jessie Cave began playing Gryffindor student Lavender Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Two other actors, Jennifer Smith and Kathleen Cauley, played Lavender in the earlier films in non-speaking background parts. Cave has had a varied career since playing Lavender Brown.

Cedric was, of course, played by Robert Pattinson, who went on to have a huge career after getting his start in the Harry Potter movies. Post-Goblet of Fire, he starred in the Twilight franchise, which made him wildly popular. Since then, he’s starred in a wide array of smaller films, and is now about to star in blockbusters again with 2020’s Tenet and the upcoming movie The Batman. And to see how previous Bruce Waynes have fared, check out Ranking Every Batman Movie, From Worst Reviewed to Best. Fleur Delacour was another new character introduced in Goblet of Fire. She participates in the Triwizard Tournament as the representative for her school, Beauxbatons. Fleur ends up marrying Ron’s older brother, Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleason, who appears in a small part in the final two movies). Fleur was played by French actor Clémence Poésy, and while her character was a teenager, Poésy was 23 when Goblet of Fire was released. Since then, Poésy has acted in many big film and TV projects including In Bruges, 127 Hours, and Gossip Girl. One of her recent roles was in Tenet with her Goblet of Fire co-star Pattinson. In 2019, it was reported that Poésy was pregnant with her second child, but for the most part she keeps her personal life private. Viktor Krum is the Triwizard participant from the school Durmstrang. He’s also a love interest for Hermione. Similar to Poésy, Stanislav Yanevski was already 20 when he joined the franchise, so he’s not exactly a “Harry Potter kid” even though he played a wizarding school student. Yanevski has a few other acting credits to his name, including the horror movie Hostel: Part II. The Bulgarian actor also spends a lot of time working out, and posts all about it on Instagram. Cormac McLaggen is introduced in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as a Gryffindor, who is part of the Slug Club and who Hermione is briefly interested in as a way to make Ron jealous. The actor who played Cormac, Freddie Stroma, starred on the TV series Unreal and also appeared in Pitch Perfect. Recently, he played Prince Friedrich on the Netflix series Bridgerton. Stroma is married to his Unreal co-star Johanna Braddy. Oliver Wood appeared in the first two Harry Potter movies and had a cameo in the final one. He is the captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team when Harry first joins. Sean Biggerstaff, who played Oliver Wood, hasn’t had a ton of roles since the final film was released, but he has had some parts on screen and in theater. He was also recently part of a viral TikTok video, when his girlfriend, Aylish McFarlane, posted about dating her childhood Harry Potter crush.
