The main cast of the Harry Potter series will reunite on hBO Max's special to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, but how have the actors been doing since the Harry Potter franchise ended? The fantasy genre has witnessed a wide variety of universes and their respective myths, in which the wizarding world has earned a special place in the hearts of readers and viewers, and has even become the popular culture of an era. Published to readers around the world in 1997, J.K. Rowling's debut novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, is the first in a series of seven novels that tell the story of Harry and the world's darkest wizard, Voldemort.
Not only was Voldemort dangerous to both wizarding and Muggle worlds, he also had a personal vendetta against Harry Potter over the death of his mother, Lily Potter, when he was unable to kill the young wizard. The Harry Potter story was so popular with readers that it didn't take long for it to catch the attention of Hollywood, so the Harry Potter novel was adapted into eight films, released between 2001 and 2011. The film was very faithful to the original book, and for a time Harry Potter became a global cultural phenomenon, not only attracting much attention, but also expanding the fan base of the novel, and of course, promoting the career development of a group of young actors.
The Harry Potter series of films made Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint some of the most popular teen stars, and even the seasoned legendary actors in the series benefited from the film's success as they were known to a new generation of audiences. Now, it's been 20 years since Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released, and the story of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows :Part 2 is over 10 years, but what did the Harry Potter stars do after the movie ended?
