After The Magic: Where The Women Of Harry Potter Are Now?

Harry Potter is the second most successful film franchise of all time and fans couldn’t get enough of the magic. Although everyone loved Harry, there were a number of strong and talented women who enhanced the movies in so many ways. From Death Eaters to Order members, these actresses’ careers didn’t disparate.

Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley – Then

We first came across Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone when she wished Harry “good luck” when running onto Platform 9 and 3/4. Ginny reappeared when she attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor, all while developing a huge crush on Harry. The attraction between the two grew in the films, making brother Ron very uncomfortable, and Ginny even fought alongside Harry in the Battle of Hogwarts. Ginny and Harry were later married and they had three children together.

Bonnie Wright – Now

While filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, Wright attended London’s University of the Arts to study as a Film and Television Production Manager due to her desire to work behind-the-scenes after Harry Potter came to a close. Bonnie then created her own production company, Bon Bon Lumiere , writing and directing a number of short films. In addition, Bonnie was signed to a modeling agency, participating in shows at London Fashion Week and modeling for magazines and different campaigns. 

Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood – Then

At Hogwarts, many people perceived Luna Lovegood to be quite strange, but there was actually a method to her madness. Despite Luna’s eccentricities, she was an important part of the uprising against the Dark Lord, participating in both the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Luna also co-led and reconstituted Dumbledore’s army, before being captured by Death Eaters and held ransom in Malfoy Manor, before being rescued by Dobby. Luna found love with Neville Longbottom.

Evanna Lynch – Now

Following Lynch’s work on the Harry Potter franchise, she went on to appear in teen comedy G.B.F., before going on to appear in British stage production Houdini, as the wife and assistant of famous magician Harry Houdini. In 2014, it was announced that Lynch would take on a starring role in the Irish-produced film My Name Is Emily, and in 2017, Lynch won the part to star in a revival of Enda Walsh‘s Disco Pigs. She is also a member of the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA.)
