These Harry Potter Stars Are Still Acting In 2022
Harry Potter is one of the most popular franchises in the world. Starting as a book series by J.K. Rowling, it was then picked up and adapted to film from 2001-2011. Because of how much popularity it gathered, Universal Studios created a whole attraction filled with rides, photo spots, magical souvenirs and more. Fans everywhere are thankful for the casting director who brought faces to the book characters they love.
In the 2000s, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were among the most famous actors in Hollywood. Starting as kids and growing up with the series, audiences felt a sense of kinship with the cast. The other remarkable members, such as those hired to play the teachers and classmates, also received strong reactions among fans. Here are some of the actors and actresses from the Harry Potter films thar are still acting in Hollywood today.
9 Harry Melling Has 3 Films Releasing By The End Of The Year
Harry Melling played the highly unfavorable Dudley Dursley in this movie series, starting when he was just a young boy.
