Harry Potter fans recently *freaked out* when rumors of an HP TV series began circulating, but HBO and Warner Bros. announced that it's not ~a thing~. Okayyy then...this is probably a sign for us to just rewatch all the OG Harry Potter movies, from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows!
Here's what the Harry Potter cast—specifically our favorite Hogwarts *kids* from the series—are up to now:
1. Daniel Radcliffe
Being the movie series' lead actor certainly put a lot of pressure on Daniel Radcliffe's succeeding projects. He starred in the rom-com What If (2014), played a tech mogul in Now You See Me 2 (2016), and portrayed a corpse (yes, you read that right!) in the black comedy Swiss Army Man (2016). Daniel is currently dating actress Erin Drake, and they're pretty low-key about their relationship. Daniel also doesn't have public social media accounts.
Where we last saw him: Escape From Pretoria (2020) as Tim Jenkin
2. Emma Watson
In 2018, Emma Watson and Tom Felton made A LOT of people's Dramione hearts gush over their photos together, but it soon became apparent that the two weren't dating (saaadt). In 2019, Emma described herself as being happily single and "self-partnered." Emma's acting career has been super busy: she has starred in movies like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Noah, and Beauty And The Beast.
Where we last saw her: Little Women (2019) as Meg March
3. Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)
Rupert Grint and his partner, actress Georgia Groome, welcomed their daughter Wednesday in 2020. He announced the news by posting on IG for the first time! After Harry Potter, Rupert starred in shows like The ABC Murders (2018) and the psychological horror series Servant (2019).

4. Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)
In 2018, Tom starred in Origin, a sci-fi series that "follows a group of troubled passengers as they wake up on a damaged spaceship abandoned in deep space." He's also a recording artist now! He's released around "Time Well Spent," "If You Could Be Anywhere," and "All I Need." He's super active on Instagram and Twitter, too. Fans recently freaked out when they found out that Draco Malfoy appears for a sum total of ONLY 31 MINUTES in all eight of the Harry Potter films. IKR??
Where we last saw him: A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting (2020) as the Boogeyman
5. Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley)
Okay, so Dudley DIDN'T attend Hogwarts, but we're keeping tabs on Harry Melling anyway. He trained at the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and aside from being a theater actor, Harry Melling has worked on many shows and films in the UK including His Dark Materials, The War Of The Worlds, and The Devil All the Time.

10. Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Tom Riddle)
Okay, so he played the 11-year-old Voldemort in 2009, and then it seems like he suddenly grew up and starred in the film After (2020) as Hardin Scott. After is adapted from a Harry Styles fanfic by Anna Todd and is apparently part of a looong movie series. Watch out for After We Fell and After Ever Happy! In an interview with W Magazine, Hero shared that the amount of press, promotion, and adoration from fans came as a shock. He also talked about HP, saying: "It didn't have any effect on my life growing up, other than the fact that I'd done it. I never actually got noticed on the street for Harry Potter. I did it at such a young age, when I was going through puberty and changing up my hair and how I looked."
