Is there life after Harry Potter? Not all the actors who starred in the magical epic have already found the answer to this question. In our selection - 5 "graduates" of Hogwarts, who are diligently building a new life outside the school of wizardry

Daniel Radcliffe

Little Daniel knew from childhood what he would do: at the age of 5, the future actor took part in his first theatrical production in the role of a monkey. At the age of 10, he first appeared on the screen in a television movie and in the same year was cast for the lead role in Harry Potter.

Despite the adoration of children and adolescents all over the world, immediately after the start of filming at school, Radcliffe did not work out well. His classmates disliked him, and the boy had to leave school.

But it is unlikely that Daniel now gives it great importance: in 2009, he was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest paid actor of the decade and received a personalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to the cinema.

After the end of the filming of "Harry Potter" Radcliffe seemed a little confused: he began to appear in dubious projects and participate in provocative productions, which caused mixed reactions from both the public and critics.

Now Daniel is still in search of a role that will help him get rid of the lucrative, but disastrous for his career image. On June 9, we will see Radcliffe in the sequel to the hit comedy action movie Illusion of Deception, in which he will play one of the main roles.

"Illusion of deception"

Also in 2016, the actor will work on the main roles in the projects "Young Americans" and "Brooklyn Bridge", where he will play with Sir Ben Kingsley.

Rupert Grint

The most loyal and red-haired friend of Harry Potter, who has become no less popular than the main character. It seems that Rupert was destined to play Ron Weasley. Otherwise, his striking resemblance to the character cannot be explained in any way!

For example, in real life Rupert suffers from an acute form of arachnophobia (fear of spiders), and, if you remember, Ron Weasley suffered the same. Just like his hero, he knows firsthand what a big family is: Rupert is the eldest of five children in the Grint family.

Rupert Grint and Boney Wright

After the end of many years of filming, one of the wealthiest guys in the UK allowed himself a little sabbatical and enjoyed his free time. But recently, the actor decided to return to the big screen.

Rupert Grint, Boney Wright and Tom Felton

Very soon we will see Grint in the enchanting black comedy "Moon Scam" - a story about the crazy adventures of London hipsters and a CIA special agent, played by Ron Perlman.

The latter is tasked with finding Stanley Kubrick and filming a fake film about landing on the moon in case Neil Armstrong's mission fails. But instead of Kubrick, the agent runs into the swindler Johnny, and Grint plays him. Johnny arranges the shooting of a top-secret video at a porn film studio, where weightlessness is achieved thanks to a strong joint … You can evaluate the comedic talent of the red-haired Rupert in the cinema since February 25th.

Emma Watson

If the success of the rest of the members of our list is debatable, then Miss Watson's achievements speak for themselves. This lively and talented girl turned out to be much more purposeful than her colleagues on the set of "Harry Potter".

Emma is very similar to her Hermione - the same smart girl who knows what she wants and how to achieve it. Watson graduated and starred in several projects in parallel, trying not to overload her schedule so as to leave enough time for her studies.

"Noah"

It's Good to Be Quiet and the blockbuster Noah, where Emma co-starred with Russell Crowe and Sir Anthony Hopkins, left no doubt even among the harshest critics - Hermione is in the past, Waston is ready to move on by leaps and bounds.

"Eclipse"

She was named UN Goodwill Ambassador two years ago and launched the He For She campaign to fight gender inequality around the world. To her list of successes can also be added countless fashion shootings for the best magazines, advertising contracts, as well as the title of a style icon.

"Colony Dignidat"

Now the girl is preparing for the release of the movie "Sphere", where she and Tom Hanks played the main roles, and in 2017 we will see Watson in the new large-scale film adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast".

Tom Felton

Ron Weasley's main enemy on screen and Rupert Grint's best friend in real life. A cruel villain in the movies and the kindest and humblest guy in real life.

Tom Felton seems to know all about reincarnation. How else to explain how a kind little boy was able to feel so deeply a negative, dark-minded character. Draco Malfoy in his performance became the embodiment of all the most unpleasant and annoying.

Murder in the first degree

Young fans of the Potter, who took what was happening on the screen too close to their hearts, immediately hated the young talent. And if other heroes had their own fan clubs, then Tom gathered an army of haters. Of course, over time, the situation improved, and the children ceased to be afraid of him.

Belle

Surprisingly, after such recognition of his talent, Tom said that he did not intend to dwell on his film career. He was seriously going to enter the faculty of "fishing", as he loves to fish and prefers to enjoy the silence of the countryside, rather than noisy parties. But after taking a break and thinking it over carefully, Felton returned to the movies to the delight of his fans.

"Resurrection of Christ"

In 2016, he was involved in as many as five large projects and everywhere in the lead roles. One of the films "The Resurrection of Christ" has already appeared on the screens of American cinemas, so it is quite possible that you can already find it on the web.

Matthew Lewis

If you remember the awkward Neville Longbottom, you probably can't help but be surprised to see what the actor who played him looks like now.

It remains to be noted that the filmmakers were incredibly lucky that such colossal external changes occurred to him not at an earlier age. And although under the contract the actors cannot make any changes in appearance, it would be difficult to go against nature. Matthew is now really unrecognizable, he has turned into a charming young man of model appearance. Several magazines immediately put his photos on their covers, significantly expanding his army of fans.

"Wasteland"

The nondescript mattress is a thing of the past, but unexpectedly this did not affect Lewis's career in the most favorable way. For a couple of years, Matthew did not receive a job offer, but it seems that the black stripe is changing into white: on July 7, the drama "Me Before You" is released, where Lewis will play along with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin.
