If you were born in the last half century, you’ve probably seen at least three Harry Potter movies. They were iconic, and shaped an entire generation, and are still very much relevant today. But if you really want to feel old: the last Harry Potter movie was released over a decade ago. In fact, they’re even thinking of doing a remake of them, for some reason. Anyway: what happened to the original actors during this time? Did their careers take off the way they expected? Did they decide to stop acting altogether?
Keep on reading, and we’ll find out.
Alan Rickman
Sadly, the glorious Professor Severus Snape has passed away and is no longer making the world a better place with his presence. Alan Rickman died back in 2016, and I think we can all agree that despite Alan having had quite the amazing career as an actor, no one will ever come close to even being allowed to shine his boots as Severus Snape.
Emma Watson
Surprisingly, Emma Watson hasn’t been doing much acting since the Harry Potter series. In fact, she’s only done three movies – one of them a short – since Beauty and the Beast, which was already six years ago. In recent years, she’s been trying to make the world a more magical place off screen as well, spending a lot of her time in activism.
Rupert Grint
One of the “big three” from the series that maybe fell off the map the quickest, Rupert is now back as an actor. He had a role in Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and in the new M Night Shyamalan film, Knock At The Cabin. He has been keeping a very low profile this last decade, though.
