The Harry Potter movie cast first stumbled into our consciousness in 2001, blinking and owlish (‘scuse the Potter-themed pun. Just let us LIVE, sheesh) in the glare of the spotlight.
Since then, a few of them have gone on to excellent things. Emma Watson, for example, was in Little Women just last year, and she’s an out-and-proud feminist too. Daniel Radcliffe got his kit off and pretended to shag horses for a bit in Equus. And Rupert Grint… well, Rupert Grint occasionally gets confused with Ed Sheeran, oh, and he's on Instagram now, too.
Anyway, ever wondered what the rest of the cast look like all those years on from Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone? No? What’s wrong with you? Get your eyes around this lot, pronto.
CHECK OUT: what the original Harry Potter cast are up to in 2021, from Neville Longbottom to Draco Malfoy

Two of the HP cast in particular seem to have caught our eyes after their, err, glow ups, so we thought we'd dedicate a little extra info to these...hot fire flames lads.
Draco Malfoy now
Yep, that's what Draco Malfoy, AKA Tom Felton, looked like last year in 2020. He may have moved on from the HP franchise, starring in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, among other things, but the actor always keeps it real, posting on his Instagram just last week a HP-themed Bernie Sanders meme.
Neville Longbottom now
Neville Longbottom, AKA Matthew Lewis, has had QUITE the glow up since his days as goofy Neville and, well, we're here for it. Recently, he starred as Hugh Hulton in Channel 5's All Creatures Great and Small, and he's married to Angela Jones. The pair also have two adorable pups, FYI.
