I just hope none of the child actors fall under the child actors curse. Emma and Dan are doing well with movies post-Potter, but what was the last thing Rupert was in? Or Matt, or Tom, or Bonnie, or Evanna, or the Phelps twins?

@headcanonsandmore I wanna see you go mad at this 😅 😆 heavens knows you’ll express how angry this makes me feel better than I ever could

*Long-suffering sigh*  People do realise that the internet exists, right? These actors DO have I.M.D.b pages, you know…

I’m guessing the person who submitted this confession probably isn’t British. Because Dan and Emma are pretty much the only former young HP cast members to focus on stuff in the USA. The US media seems to have this weird blind-spot regarding every HP actor who wasn’t Dan and Emma, possibly because most of the rest of the young cast tend to do their projects in the UK and Europe. 

Rupert’s easily doing the best out of the former young HP cast. He’s been appearing in films, tv shows, and theatre productions regularly since HP. While he might not be heading large American blockbuster films (which are becoming less and less relevant with each passing year), he’s gained considerable acclaim for his acting; able to play a wide spectrum of different roles. He’s currently got two television series going simultaneously (the dark comedy ‘Sick Note’ and the dramedy ‘Snatch’, appearing as a protagonist in both), has just finished filming an adaptation of ‘The ABC Murders’ (an Agatha Christie novel about Hercule Poirot) which co-stars John Malkovich. He’s also been nominated for a National Television Award in the UK. Compared to Dan and Emma, he’s managed to avoid being type-cast for his role in HP, and is doing very well for himself. In his spare time, he is a philanthropist who works with a lot of children’s charities. 

(You can tell I’m a fan of his)

Matthew Lewis has been keeping busy too. He’s a regular star on the BBC drama series ‘Ripper Street’, and is constantly appearing in British film and tv. He also recently got married. He’s well regarded as an actor, too. (Actually, just take it as read that this applies to all of the young HP actors I’m going to mention). 

Evanna Lynch has been appearing in many acclaimed independent films since the early 2010s, including the drama ‘My Name is Emily’, as well as various stage productions (including ‘A Very Potter Musical’ where she reprised her role as Luna). She had her own podcast about veganism, and works with animal rights charities a lot. She was also a contestant on the most recent series of ‘Dancing With The Stars’. Also, I have a massive crush on her but that’s not really relevant.

Bonnie Wright is now directing, and has her own production company ‘Bon Bon Lumiere’. She also does a lot of charity work, and is a noted philanthropist, especially with children’s charities. Along with many of her former co-stars (in particular, Rupert, Evanna, Tom and Matt), she also appears at Harry Potter events around the world.

Tom Felton’s got a few TV series going, and appeared in ‘The Flash’ on US television. He also does a lot of charity work, and has a new series starting on US tv soon. 

The Phelps twins are doing fine too. They both do a lot of tv and film work, as well as philanthropy with charities. 

Coming back to Dan and Emma though, I would say that the confessor gets that at least partially wrong as well. 

Dan’s not doing too badly; focusing more on stage work in recent years, and still appearing in films every so often. ‘Swiss Army Man’ was apparently really interesting. He might have more of a media presence (after all, he lives in the USA, and naturally gets a lot of attention due to playing the lead in HP). Having said, he has appeared in some pretty awful films (although they are definitely interestingly bad, instead of just bland). 

Emma’s post-HP career, though? Aside from a few okay-ish films (’Perks of being a Wallflower’ being the main one), she hasn’t been in anything much of note since HP finished. If anyone’s got the child actors curse, it’s Emma. Almost all the films she’s been in since HP finished have been either flops, or boring films that didn’t stay in the public consciousness. Even her films with usually-brilliant directors did badly. She isn’t rated that much on her acting skills amongst other actors, either; especially compared to her former HP co-stars (which makes me wonder why the media raved so much about her during the production of the HP films in comparison to actors who are now considered brilliant). Maybe it’s my own personal opinion, but I feel she got type-cast in ‘Hermione’ roles and hasn’t really been able to break away from them so far. 

So, aside from the point about Dan’s career, this confessor (I feel) was incorrect about pretty much everything. Although I understand why they would think this, owing to the media blind-spot about HP actors outside of Radcliffe and Watson. 

@tadacug commented 

you’re proving their point tho. Evanna Lynch has a veganism blog? Who the f*ck cares? Emma’s been in movies a lot of people have watched or at least heard of even if she’s not the greatest actress ever

Okay, first of all, there’s no need for that sort of language. And I don’t think I am proving their point. Emma Watson might have been in one major film that had the backing of a major studio, but that film itself was (I’ve heard) not very memorable, Emma’s performance (and especially her singing) recieved mixed reviews at best, and (aside from ‘Perks of being a wallflower’) it’s pretty much the only thing she’s been in of note since the HP films finished. If anything, the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ remake showed that Emma is still largely known for playing Hermione Granger and characters similar to Hermione Granger, despite almost a decade passing. If that’s not a child star curse, I don’t know what is. 

Also, Evanna Lynch has a podcast, not a blog. I made that very clear in my earlier reblog. ‘Dancing with the stars’ brought in almost 18 million viewers with the premier this year, so I doubt that people don’t know who Evanna Lynch is. 

The other HP actors are well-known for other things. If you’re going to us the USA as a barometer for ‘visibility’ when it comes to a cast of British-and-Irish actors, you’re going to miss out on a lot. 

Things that really should have been in the Harry Potter films

headcanonsandmore:

-Hermione actually having bushy hair and large front teeth

-Ron making the jokes, not being the joke. 

-Hermione having personality flaws

-Sassy Harry (the ‘pincers’ scene was not enough…)

-Rupert Grint being allowed to play Ron how he was in the books (i.e a three-dimensional character, not a comedic sidekick and walking punch-line)

-No-one else but Hermione fancying Gilderoy Lockhart. 

-Ron’s obvious irritation over Hermione’s said crush on Lockhart

-Winky

-Peeves

-James, Sirius, Remus
and Peter being the Marauders, and making the map

-Ron standing up on a
broken leg and telling Sirius that if ‘you want to kill Harry, you’ll have to
kill us too!’

-Hermione and Ginny not fancying Cedric Diggory (Why was
this even put in the films?)

-The actual Quidditch
World Cup final

-Ludo Bagman

-Ron being upset with
Harry because he thought Harry had done it without him, not just because he was
jealous

-Ron not leaving
Hermione crying on the staircase at the end of the Yule Ball

-‘calmly’

-SPEW

-Ron not saying ‘I’ll go easy on you’ to
Hermione. (Noticing a pattern here?)

-Charlie Weasley

-Ginny Weasley having a
personality (Bonnie Wright, you deserved so much better…)

-Hermione and Ron both being horrible to each-other during
the whole ‘Lavender’ debacle.

-Four words- ‘Weasley is our king’. 

-Harry and Ginny having
a relationship that didn’t make you wonder whether she slipped him love potion.
These scenes were so weird to watch…

-Dumbledore’s funeral

-Ron and Hermione
comforting each-other during the funeral

-Both Ron and Hermione
saying they would stick with Harry on his quest for the Horcruxes (I don’t care
if Rupert Grint was ill with swine flu when they were filming, they could have
easily edited him in later!)

-RON DANCING WITH
HERMIONE AT BILL AND FLEUR’S WEDDING RECEPTION! This was a massive deal for
their relationship development, and the film-makers threw it out the window in
exchange for a ‘Ron still can’t ask Hermione to dance’ bit!

-Ron leaving because he
was worried about his family, and thought Harry didn’t care, not just because
he suspected Hermione was snogging Harry (FYI Kloves, this wouldn’t have been necessary
if you had written the golden trio as they were in the books, instead of trying
to force your own OTP into the scripts)

-Harry and Hermione
being barely able to talk without Ron around. And no out-of-nowhere dancing
either!

-Dobby being present in
more than one film before he returned to die.

-Hermione finally kissing Ron because she realised how much he had matured as a person (he remembered the house-elves when everyone-else forgot), and realised that she couldn’t go another moment without letting him know how she felt. Not because they both go soaked in the chamber of secrets after destroying Hufflepuff’s cup (that scene made no sense, and was so uncomfortable to watch, and I’m a Romione shipper, for crying out loud!) 

-Voldemort’s body not
changing into magic dandruff and disappearing into nothing. This misses the
point of his death entirely.

-Harry fixing his own
wand with the Elder Wand. If he was going to break it, he could have at least
fixed his own first.

-Not sure about this
one, but did Ron even get a line in the ‘nineteen years later’ scene in the
films? Because if he didn’t get to say his ‘I’m extremely famous’ line, I am
throwing up on my laptop in rage.

-Also, Ronald Bilius
Weasley getting some freaking RESPECT and NOT being made into a figure of fun
for non-Potterheads to laugh at!

Agreed with everything, except the Harry/Hermione dance because that scene was cute as heck and probably one of my favourite scene in the movies.

It really shows that Harry is a great friend who knows what’s up and tries to cheer her up, at least that’s always how I saw it

I could agree with you on the dance in theory, but there are reasons why I put it on this list; 

In a void, this scene would work fine. It could easily be a sweet moment between two close friends. But it isn’t; the scene is placed during the time when Harry and Hermione were effectively in mourning for Ron’s leaving (under the influence of the horcrux, I might add, before that debate rears its head). The dancing scene negates the miserable attitude that (in the book) permeated every moment Harry and Hermione shared during the time Ron was gone. It does away with the idea that Ron’s leaving was a devastating blow, and showed the very thing the horcrux tortured Ron over: that Harry and Hermione didn’t need him and that they were happy on their own. 

The dance could have been put into virtually any other part of the book series, and it would have been fine. But having the dance scene (with that weird little look they give each-other at the end) in the part of DH where Ron wasn’t around basically shows that everything Ron was terrified of could have easily happened. Ron’s been gone barely a few days, and already Harry and Hermione are having quasi-romantic moments. In the books, the horcrux tortured Ron with the idea but it was never a possibility: Harry and Hermione never saw each-other like that. In the films, the possibility is not only there, but also could have happened. 

It negates the idea that Ron was the glue that held the trio together. In the books, the darkest moments of the series are always when Ron is not present. In fourth year, Harry becomes moody and miserable when he and Ron aren’t talking. Likewise, the mood becomes unpleasant in sixth year when Ron and Hermione aren’t speaking to each-other. In DH, Ron’s department basically crippled Harry and Hermione; they barely spoke to each-other, and the only thing Harry did to comfort Hermione was to throw Ron’s blanket over her and walk off to stare at the marauders map. That’s it. 

Having them dancing not only invalidates the severity of Ron’s departure, but also comes across as distinctly out-of-character, especially for Harry. I don’t mean the dancing itself; I mean that weird little not-quite-platonic look shared when they finish dancing. Harry knew how Ron and Hermione felt about each-other, and yet (in the film) he starts looking at Hermione like that. Not only does this go against Harry’s intense loyalty to Ron, but also the fact that Harry never saw Hermione as anything other than a sister. 

If the scene had been written as just two-friends-trying-to-cheer-each-other-up, I could deal with it. I wouldn’t like it, but I could stand it. But having the quasi-romantic moment in the scene effectively turns what was (in the books) a unpleasant horcrux-induced nightmare to torture Ron into a distinct possibility. 

Even the people involved in the filming thought it was out-of-character. Emma Watson said (and I quote); 

“Watson: (talking about the Harry and Hermione dance scene in DH Part 1) This is just so interesting because when I was doing the scene, I said to David [Heyman]: “This isn’t in the book, she didn’t write this.” I’m not sure I am comfortable insinuating something however subtle it is!”

I’d also like to leave a link to this thread, which goes into more detail about the screen-writer of DH (and all HP films except OOTP) Steve Kloves and his alleged biased towards the Harry x Hermione pairing and his dismissal of the characters of Ron and Ginny due to the same reason. 

Obviously, I’m not going to criticise people for shipping what they ship (within reason). The issue I have is with the injection of quasi-romantic moments inbetween Harry and Hermione into a narrative that always held the opposite approach. In the books, Harry and Hermione are surrogate-siblings. In the films, however, they are coded in the idea of ‘protagonist and female protagonist who eventually get together’, despite the fact that any kind of adequate adaptation of the source material would make that impossible. 

Which is presumably why Steve Kloves left out the scene where Harry goes into detail about how he doesn’t see Hermione as anything other than a sister. It’s an important scene because it showcases that the horcrux was completely wrong and that Ron’s fears were completely unfounded. It wasn’t put in the film because it would seem like Harry was just covering up what went on and straight-up lying to Ron. 

Not only does this mean that the films didn’t get Ron and Hermione’s relationship right, but that they couldn’t even deliver any kind of conclusion to the implied-romantic-tension between Harry and Hermione. It’s effectively baiting the audience to suspect something, and then giving them something completely different. 

Instead of keeping the interpersonal relationships of the three heroes as they were in the books, Steve Kloves pushed them in the Hollywood trope of ‘protagonist, female protagonist, and comic-relief sidekick’; effectively stripping away any subversion of that trope that the books pioneered. 

Also, the virtually nude Riddle Harmionie locket scene. What was that about?

@thatonebutton Exactly! 

Seriously, that locket-Harry-and-Hermione kiss is more graphic than both the Harry x Ginny and Ron x Hermione kiss scenes (both of which were staged really badly)…

Did the locket forms of Harry and Hermione have to be virtually nude? No, of course not. All it did was twist the book scene, and make the actors uncomfortable (Dan and Emma both had to wear silver body-paint during the filming, which was annoying for all concerned).

I don’t ship Drinny (Draco x Ginny). Like, at all. 

But I can’t deny that, purely from an aesthetic perspective, the pairing is nice to look at. Tom Felton and Bonnie Wright are both exceedingly attractive, and look good together in photo-sets about the pairing. 

Having said that, I fancy Evanna Lynch and Rupert Grint; so it’s already clear that I have a thing for blondes and redheads.Â
