Unfortunately for fans, the stars of 'Harry Potter' have moved on with their lives post-filming.
True, some of the cast members continue to enjoy magical careers and time in the spotlight thanks to HP. But others fly under the radar a bit more. The thing is, no matter where the cast members go post-HP, fans are always lurking to see what they'll do next or how they'll end up.
For example, fans went sleuthing when they realized that Crabbe had been 'killed off' in 'Deathly Hallows.' And all 'Harry Potter' enthusiasts remember Neville Longbottom -- AKA Matthew Lewis -- and his glow-up years after the films wrapped.
But one star, in particular, had a very interesting trajectory after the films ended.
Fans may not necessarily recognize the name Scarlett Byrne. Well, unless they're huge Potterheads, that is! More casual viewers of the films won't recall that Scarlett played Slytherin Pansy Parkinson in 'Harry Potter.'
For those who do remember, it was surprising to find out that in 2019, Byrne was married, and then in 2020, she welcomed a baby. More surprising than seeing Pansy all grown up, though, is finding out who she's married to.
Scarlett, who's now 30 years old, is married to Cooper Hefner. Yes, Hugh Hefner's son Cooper. Mr. and Mrs. Hefner headed to the clerk-recorder office in their home state of California back in 2019, while promising that they'd have wedding celebrations later on to include their families and friends.
The couple has always been open about their relationship via social media, where they announced their engagement and later marriage, notes Hollywood Reporter. Of her husband, Scarlett noted, "I was lucky enough to fall in love with my best friend."
The pair welcomed their daughter, Betsy, in 2020, and by all accounts, appear to be enjoying happily wedded bliss.
In the years since 'HP' wrapped, Scarlett has moved on to other projects, and before her and Cooper's daughter arrived, she was sharing behind-the-scenes snaps from film projects.
Fans will recall that after 'HP,' only two movies of which Scarlett acted in ('Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1' is listed as a cameo), the actress wound up on 'Vampire Diaries' for a full season. After that, she was on a series for a few episodes, had a couple of film roles, and even appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars.'
It seems crazy that Byrne's trajectory had her falling into Cooper Hefner's arms, but their adorable story actually started back in 2014, says Cosmopolitan. That means Scarlett got to meet her late father-in-law, as well as party at the Playboy Mansion back in the day. These days, life is tamer for the famous couple, though, but of course, life with a new baby is never that tame!
