Yes, yes, yes we know what Hermione, Ron and Harry are doing, but what about the rest of their Hogwarts chums? We took a trip down memory lane (and did a lot of internet stalking) and found out what they’re all up to now.
Cho Chang
Harry’s erstwhile love interest who fell for R-Patz instead. Before he got deaded. And became a vampire. Wait. Is that what happened? Maybe.
IRL: Katie Leung
Katie’s still an actress, most recently appearing in BBC mini-series One Child last year. She was also nominated for a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit in 2014. Classic Ravenclaw.
Cormac McLaggen
Most likely to be found on the Hogwarts banterbus, Cormac once ate a pound of poisonous Doxy eggs to prove his bravery. Hermione took him to Professor Slughorn’s Christmas party. But just to make Ron jealous. OBVS.
IRL: Freddie Stroma
HELLO CORMAC. How VERY nice to see you again looking so… well. Most recently appeared as the dreadlocked trust fund Gap Yah twat in The Inbetweeners 2.
Dean Thomas
Harry’s Gryffindor pal who was forced to miss his seventh year to escape Voldemort’s plan to imprison all half and full blood Muggles.
IRL: Alfred Enoch
Another dishy chap! Alfred is currently starring in ma-hoosive American show How To Get Away With Murder alongside Viola Davis.
Draco Malfoy
THIS GUY. What an objectionable little shite. By book seven though we’d put the whole thing down to questionable parenting. Between Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, poor Draco never stood a chance.
IRL: Tom Felton
THIS GUY SEEMS GREAT. Tom’s been in loads of films like Rise of The Planet Of The Apes and Get Him To The Greek. Also, he’s had a really cute girlfriend for ages and they seem like a couple we’d probably get on really well with ,so give us a call and we’ll go for beers, why don’t you, Tom?
Fred & George
Ron’s mischievous twin brothers who left Hogwarts to start a joke shop. But then one of them (maybe Fred?) got murdered by Voldemort’s unsavoury cronies. Fuck those guys.
IRL: Oliver and James Phelps
Now living in LA, Oliver and James do still act but they also do a lot of travelling. Their Instagram feeds look like the most fun ever. TAKE US WITH YOU WEASLEYS.
Gellert Grindlewald
Young Albus Dumbledore’s best pal. Together the two were going to create a new benevolent world order until they (along with Dumbledore's brother Abelforth) accidentally killed the Dumbledore’s younger sister Ariana. Later, Gellert was murdered by Voldemort.
IRL: Jamie Campbell-Bower
Jamie’s done LOADS of films! Also, I interviewed him once and he was terribly charming. Used to date Lily Collins, now in a band called The Darling Buds. Very fit.
Lavender Brown
Marginally annoying girl in Gryffindor. Dated Ron for a while. Joined Dumbledore’s army and was killed eventually by that pesky werewolf Fenir Greyback.
IRL: Jessie Cave
It’s Jessie Cave! She’s the actual best. She’s a cartoonist, actress (last in E4 show Glue) and she had a baby! She’s also got a book coming out soon, so make sure you pick that one up, kids.
Lily Evans
Harry’s mum while she was still at Hogwarts, that is. The one who was friends with Snape and met and fell in love with James. Was also later murdered by Voldermort who we’re starting to realise might have had anger issues.
IRL: Ellie Darcey Alden
Still only 15, Ellie’s also been on Doctor Who. Also she loves American TV show Supernatural.
Luna Lovegood
Hogwart’s resident oddball who turned out to be a lot more useful than anyone could have imagined.
Evanna Lynch
She’s DATING HARRY’S DAD!!!!
Neville Longbottom
Harry’s Gryffindor housemate who really came out of his shell. He saved the day by destroying the seventh Horcrux and also ended up as the Hogwarts professor of herbology.
IRL: Matthew Lewis
PHWOARRR. Apologies for being a lech but my goodness. From here on out ugly ducklinging is always to be known as Longbottoming. Just check out his shoot this month’s in Attitude. Fur EVERYWHERE. That’s just him hanging with Daenerys below BTW. NBD.
Padma Patil
Fellow Gryffindor who later joined Dumbledore’s Army. Padma went to the Yule Ball with Ron but it didn’t really work out.
IRL: Afshan Azad
Now super glam, Afshan’s still acting and likes to play squash.
Percy Weasley
The older Weasley. Bit of a drip.
Chris Rankin
Now working in TV production, Chris lives in Wales with his wife Megan. He’s part of the Mid Wales Dance Academy. Seems like an excellent chap.
Seamus Finnigan
Another Gryffindor. Cheeky little monkey. Briefly a Voldermort denier, Seamus soon came round and did some excellent ass-kicking in the final battle.
IRL: Devon Murray
Still an actor. Very funny on Twitter. Does not like cats fighting outside his window at night or snow in April.
Tom Marvolo Riddle (From The Chamber Of Secrets)
Voldemort before he was Voldemort. Also known as the chap in the diary who kidnapped Ginny Weasley and wrangled a massive snake.
IRL: Christian Coulson
Living in New York as an actor and director, Christian once appeared in an episode of The Good Wife. Which is excellent.
Tom Marvolo Riddle (From The Half Blood Prince)
Another incarnation of the evilest chap this side of Diagon Alley.
IRL: Frank Dillane
IRL son of Stannis Baratheon from Game Of Thrones, Frank is a (fit) actor who’s about to appear in Ron Howard’s next film In The Heart Of The Sea with Chris Hemsworth about a nasty whale. Is it Moby Dick? Oh wait yes, it’s Moby Dick. Whale dick. Ha.
