The Shocking Transformations: Where The Harry Potter Cast Is Now In 2025
It has been over two decades since the world first saw Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint walk through the gates of Hogwarts, but the magic of the *Harry Potter* franchise continues to cast a powerful spell. The child stars who became global icons have navigated the tricky transition from beloved characters to adult actors, and their lives in 2025 are a tapestry of unexpected career moves, massive personal milestones, and stunning physical transformations. This deep dive into the lives of the *Harry Potter* cast reveals not just who is still acting, but who has become a director, a global activist, and a star of M. Night Shyamalan’s horror universe.
As of late 2025, the original cast members have firmly established their post-Potter identities, proving that there is life—and massive success—after the world's most famous wizarding school. From multi-million dollar net worths to influential roles in ethical fashion and environmental activism, their current endeavors are far more varied and surprising than anyone predicted when *Deathly Hallows: Part 2* premiered. The following is the most current and comprehensive look at the "Golden Trio" and the key supporting cast, detailing their careers, fortunes, and personal lives today.
The Golden Trio: Biographies and 2025 Career Updates
The three stars who anchored the eight-film epic have taken wildly divergent paths, yet all remain incredibly successful and influential figures in popular culture.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
- Full Name: Daniel Jacob Radcliffe
- Born: July 23, 1989 (Age 36 in 2025)
- Birthplace: London, England
- Key Post-Potter Roles: *The Woman in Black*, *Kill Your Darlings*, *Swiss Army Man*, *Weird: The Al Yankovic Story*, *Miracle Workers* (TV Series)
- 2025 Status: Actor, Producer, and one of the richest British actors.
Daniel Radcliffe, the Boy Who Lived, has strategically chosen a career focused on quirky, independent, and challenging roles designed to shatter his image as Harry Potter. His net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around a staggering $110 million, largely accumulated from the franchise and his subsequent high-profile projects.
In his current work, Radcliffe continues to embrace the unconventional. He remains the star and executive producer of the anthology comedy series *Miracle Workers*. His major upcoming project is the highly anticipated musical film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s *Merrily We Roll Along*, which is slated for a 2025 release and showcases his versatility on screen.
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)
- Full Name: Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson
- Born: April 15, 1990 (Age 35 in 2025)
- Birthplace: Paris, France
- Key Post-Potter Roles: *The Perks of Being a Wallflower*, *Beauty and the Beast*, *Little Women*
- 2025 Status: Activist, Director, Actress, and Advocate for Sustainable Fashion.
Emma Watson’s journey since playing the brilliant Hermione Granger has been the most transformative, shifting her focus almost entirely away from acting. Her last major film role was in 2019's *Little Women*.
Watson has openly discussed her long break from acting, stating she did not miss "selling" something she felt she had no control over, choosing instead to focus on personal development and activism. In a stunning career pivot that made headlines, Watson made her directorial debut with the campaign for Prada's Paradoxe fragrance. Furthermore, she is a board member for the luxury group Kering, where she champions ethical and sustainable fashion, solidifying her role as a global advocate for gender equality and environmental issues.
Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)
- Full Name: Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint
- Born: August 24, 1988 (Age 37 in 2025)
- Birthplace: Harlow, England
- Key Post-Potter Roles: *Snatch* (TV Series), *Servant* (TV Series), *Knock at the Cabin*
- 2025 Status: Actor, Producer, and Father.
Rupert Grint has quietly carved out a successful and critically acclaimed niche in the horror and thriller genres, a stark contrast to his comedic role as Ron Weasley. His most prominent work in recent years has been his starring role as Julian Pearce in the M. Night Shyamalan-produced Apple TV+ psychological thriller series, *Servant*, which concluded its fourth and final season.
He also reunited with Shyamalan for a key supporting role in the 2023 film *Knock at the Cabin*, further cementing his reputation in the thriller space. In his personal life, Grint is happily married to actress Georgia Groome, and the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2020.
The Surprising Paths of Key Supporting Cast Members
While the Golden Trio captures most of the headlines, the supporting cast members have had equally fascinating, and often more unexpected, post-Hogwarts careers, embracing everything from Broadway to environmental activism.
Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)
The actor who played the Slytherin rival, Draco Malfoy, has found success in both acting and literature. Tom Felton has been highly visible in recent years, including a run starring as his former rival, Harry Potter, in the critically acclaimed Broadway production of *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*.
Perhaps his most personal project to date is his 2022 memoir, *Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard*, which offers candid reflections on his time in the franchise and his life since.
Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom)
Matthew Lewis, whose "glow-up" from the awkward Neville Longbottom to a dashing adult became a viral sensation, continues his acting career with diverse roles. Lewis recently starred in the new British crime drama *Murder Before Evensong*, an Acorn TV and Channel 5 adaptation of a Reverend Richard Coles novel, where he plays a Church of England rector.
Lewis is married to Angela Jones, whom he met at a Wizarding World event in Orlando, Florida, in 2016, and the couple wed in Italy in 2018.
Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley)
Bonnie Wright, who played the eventual wife of Harry Potter, has largely stepped away from mainstream acting to focus on her passion for environmentalism and filmmaking. Wright is now an outspoken environmental activist and filmmaker, using her platform to advocate for ocean conservation and climate change awareness.
In her personal life, Wright married her husband Andrew Lococo in 2022 and recently welcomed their newborn son, further solidifying her new chapter outside of Hollywood. She has also expressed interest in a cameo role in the upcoming *Harry Potter* TV series, should the opportunity arise.
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood)
Evanna Lynch, the whimsical Luna Lovegood, has become one of the most dedicated activists among the cast. Lynch is a passionate advocate for veganism and animal rights, launching a vegan-themed podcast called *The Chickpeeps* to promote a plant-based lifestyle.
Her commitment to the cause is so strong that she is set to star in a vegan short film titled *You Eat Other Animals*, continuing to use her acting talents to support her deeply held beliefs.
The Enduring Legacy and Topical Authority
The collective success of the *Harry Potter* cast demonstrates a unique phenomenon in Hollywood: a group of child stars who successfully transitioned into adulthood without major public scandal, choosing instead to pursue meaningful and diverse careers. Their choices—from Radcliffe's indie film focus and Grint's pivot to horror, to Watson's influential role in ethical fashion and Wright's environmental advocacy—have ensured that their topical authority extends far beyond the wizarding world.
The franchise's enduring power is evidenced by the continued interest in their lives, the success of related projects like the *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* play, and the development of a new *Harry Potter* TV series. The original cast members, including the beloved actors who played Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and Hagrid, set a high bar for professionalism and dedication that continues to influence the entertainment industry. The transformations of the *Harry Potter* cast are not just physical; they represent a powerful, multi-faceted evolution into global figures whose impact is felt across film, television, activism, and business.
