Since appearing as the movies’ title character, Daniel has managed to shake off Harry and ensure he’s known by his own name – which has been aided by the fact he’ll happily get his kit off on-screen and on-stage. After stints in the West End and on Broadway, Daniel recently starred in ‘What If’, and in 2015, fans will see him take on the role of Igor in ‘Frankenstein’.
Since hanging up his wizard’s hat, Rupert has made waves on the West End stage, and in 2013 he received rave reviews for his performance in ‘Mojo’. He also stowed some his ‘Harry Potter’ cash away and splashed it on an ice cream truck, fulfilling a childhood dream. Aww!
You’ll find Ralph in ‘Wrath of the Titans’, ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Great Expectations’. It has also been announced he’s been cast in the upcoming, as-yet-unnamed, James Bond film.

Sadly, Joshua hasn’t faired too well either, and has dropped off the radar as far as acting is concerned.
After being everyone’s favourite bad guy in the films, Tom decided to try something a little different and recorded a number of singles, which he shared with fans via YouTube. He’s currently filming ‘Clavius’, where he stars as a character called Lucius. Tom’s also really, really good at Twitter.
After getting surprisingly dishy, Matthew now spends his time reminding everyone that he’s also hugely talented, making his West End debut in 2012 alongside Arthur Darvill and Laurence Fox in ‘Our Boys’. Matthew also took part in one of the best editions of Innuendo Bingo ever on Scott Mills’ Radio 1 show.
Bonnie was one of the ‘Harry Potter’ frachise’s younger stars, however, that hasn’t stopped her from going on to carve a successful career.

To be honest, Rob’s had a rather quiet life since his character’s exit left us weeping in the ‘Goblet Of Fire’ film. After a lot of digging, Robert’s main achievement seems to be another franchise entitled ‘Twilight’. Nope, we’ve never heard of it either…
Julie is one of the many huge names who appeared in the ‘Harry Potter’ films so it’s not like her career needed the boost. Since the final film in 2011, Julie’s been praised by critics her roles in a whole host of other movies, including voicing the witch in Disney’s ‘Brave’.

Once filming wrapped, Robbie moved over to the Dark Side and joined Voldemort’s gang. By which we mean, starred alongside Ralph Fiennes, in ‘Great Expectations’. Traitor.
Oh Kenneth, where do we start? Ever since *that* version of ‘Hamlet’, Brannagh has been one of our favourite stars to swoon over. Since leaving the Wizarding World, Kenneth has turned his attention to directing, as well as starring in flicks such as ‘My Week With Marilyn’ and ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’.
In between stints studying for a degree at Brown University in the US, Emma starred in a number of blockbusters including ‘The Bling Ring’ and ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’.

Do we really need to tell you what John Cleese has been up to? Seriously?

Natalia evidently knows how to smell out a hit as she’s also starred in ‘Game of Thrones’ as Osha.
David’s done barely anything since his time as Barty Crouch Jr. No time as a famous Timelord, no treading the boards in Shakespeare plays and he definitely didn’t star opposite Olivia Colman in an award-winning ITV drama series. Lazy moo.
A bit of a cult hit on YouTube, Warwick Davies has been feautured on several channels, most notably the YogsCast. In the land of television he’s made guest appearances on shows including ‘An Idiot Abroad’, ‘Top Gear’. He also played Oberon the Ufgood in ‘Dwarves Assemble’.

Like Ralph Fiennes, Helen also appeared in ‘Skyfall’. she also stars in the hit drama ‘Peaky Blinders’ as Aunt Polly.
What can we say? The inimitable Helena Bonham Carter played the role of Bellatrix to disturbing perfection and played similarly creepy parts in many other movies. To be honest, if Voldy had left her in charge, he probably would have triumphed. Helena was the perfect Madame Thernardier in ‘Les Miserables’ and also gave a stellar performance as Elizabeth Taylor in a BBC television film.
