Emma Watson has literally grown up before our eyes, having starred in all eight Harry Potter franchise films. Her career has spilled over into modelling for high-end brands such as Burberry. Fans of Emma can catch her in the upcoming film Noah alongside actor Russell Crowe.
If you caught the Oscars, Emma Watson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt presented the Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects. They would make a handsome pair, just saying…
Harry Potter/ Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe has hit the silver screen and the stage post-Harry Potter. His acting talent was further proven through the theater productions of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and The Cripple of Inishmaan. You may catch Daniel in two upcoming films, Frankenstein and Tokyo Vice. I have a feeling Radcliffe will have a long, long career due to his versatility and willingness to take risks.

Ron Weasley/ Rupert Grint

After portraying Ron, Rupert went on to appear in an anti-war film, Into the White, and other small movie projects. Like Daniel, he has also taken to the stage appearing in Mojo last year. Grint is heavy into charitable and community causes and that will definitely be his best legacy. He even got to participate in the Olympic Torch relay back in 2012. Amazing!
Draco Malfoy/ Tom Felton
Despite playing a calculating villain, Tom is actually a good guy. He’s generous with charities and he is a singer/ songwriter! You can actually find his orginial work on iTunes and YouTube. After Harry Potter wrapped, you saw him in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Tom is also appearing in this year’s Ghosts of the Pacific. If you have a thing for Tom, take up fishing… he’s really into fishing and supporting causes related to nature.
Neville Longbottom/ Matthew Lewis
The BIGGEST transformation goes to Matthew. OMG. Matthew is still acting in films, music videos, and in theater productions. He is also a big fan of rugby and his lucky number is 11. Interesting fellow, Neville would be proud!
Luna Lovegood/ Evanna Lynch
Evanna has kept busy with her acting and modeling career. The Irish cutie also enjoys designing fashion accesories. (She helped create some original designs featured in the Harry Potter films too.) You can catch her in the upcoming thriller, Dynamite: A Cautionary Tale.

Honestly, we all know what happened to Rob. He’s currently in Canada filming Life. His Twilight days and Harry Potter days are far behind him. (Hopefully his Kristen Stewart days are too…)
Ginny Weasley/ Bonnie Wright
In 2011, Bonnie got engaged to Jamie Campbell Bower, who played the young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Caius Volturi in the Twilight series.The couple spilt in 2012. Bonnie has a diverse portfolio, she currently models, acts, writes, produces, and directs! You can view her work in the comedy film Those Who Wander, coming out this year.
Hedwig/ Gizmo, Ook, & Sprout the Snowy Owls
Gizmo and several other owls played Hedwig. Fun fact, Hedwig was played by male owls because male Snowy Owls are smaller and a brighter shade of white. What are they doing now? Who knows… probably hanging out and eating mice.
Padfoot (Sirius Black’s Animagus)/ Berry

Sadly, Berry who appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was given up for adoption by his owner in 2011. The last I heard, Berry was in a foster home awaiting placement. (Adoption offers poured in after this news broke. So he surely found a new loving home.)
