Daniel Radcliffe
It’s not easy to bounce back after playing such an iconic and cross-generational character. However, DanRad managed to make his character forget by gradually evolving.
First naked in the play “Equus”, then in the cinema, with roles in more mature films. But Daniel Radcliffe went through darker times too, admitting he had been drinking on the set of Harry Potter.
Rupert Grint
Off the film sets, Rupert didn’t find it easy to establish his name in Daniel Radcliffe’s shadow. He also confided that they weren’t very close.
Since the end of the saga, he has starred alongside Shia LaBeouf and Mads Mikkelsen in Charlie Countryman and in several English productions. But it was in the theater that he found redemption, earning multiple awards for his Broadway debut in 2014. In 2017, he landed the lead role in the Netflix series Sick Notes.
Emma Watson
Of all the young actors, Emma Watson is the one whose career has taken off the most. After Harry Potter, Hollywood rolled out the red carpet for him and headed to the movie sets. Big films followed: “My Week With Marilyn”, “Charlie’s World” and soon “Beauty and the Beast”.
She shoots for Sofia Coppola in The Bling Ring and climbs the steps of the Cannes Film Festival with her. Emma Watson is also celebrated for her commitment to women. As a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women, she launched the HeForShe campaign and advocates for equality between men and women.
Bonnie Wright
Since the end of the saga, we’ve heard more about Bonnie Wright for her romantic relationships than her career. Her engagement (and subsequent split) to actor Jamie Campbell Bower — who plays the bit role of Grindelwald in ‘Harry Potter’ — has been more talked about than her films.
However, when Bonnie Wright didn’t have major roles, she tried her hand at directing. In 2012, she wrote and directed the short film Separate We Come, Separate We Go, which screens at the Cannes Film Festival.
James and Oliver Phelps
It’s difficult to assert yourself individually once you’ve made yourself known in tandem. They’re trying to go to Hollywood to work together, but they’re not seen in cinemas at the moment.
However, James and Oliver Phelps became the voice actors for Harry Potter. They travel the world to present the exhibition dedicated to the saga, are present at the smallest event, while the three main actors are more discreet.
