20 Things Harry Potter Film Supporting Actors Are Doing Now

14. Scarlett Byrne - Pansy Parkinson

Scarlett Byrne Pansy Parkinson, Draco's quasi-girlfriend and fellow uppity Slytherin, was played by a few different actresses over the course of the series. She was little more than an extra in the first two films, had a tiny role in the third film when she was played by Genevieve Gaunt, and was finally given a little bit more screen time in the last three films. That's when she was brought to life by Scarlett Bryne, a young actress with just enough sneering attitude and simpering adoration for Draco to do the character justice. Lately she's been appearing in the newest season of Falling Skies as Lexi, the fast aging daughter of the main characters. She also has an action thriller called Skybound in post-production at the moment, about a plane full of passengers that is unable to land due to a disaster occurring on the ground.

12 + 13. James & Oliver Phelps - Fred and George Weasley

James Oliver Phelps Fred and George are Ron Weasley's older twin brothers; they're addicted to trouble and have a knack for inventing, and they're totally inseparable until the Event We Will Not Speak of Because It's Mad Depressing. And James and Oliver Phelps have been with them from the very beginning. So, it's sort of hard for twin actors who get famous from one specific project, because they just become a brand. They have to either try and find more roles that require twins, which there aren't a lot of, or they have to break out on their own. But in a way, they're not famous on their own -- they're famous as a unit. That said, the Phelps brothers do have one film that's in post-production right now, due out sometime later this year. It's called Own Worst Enemy, and James and Oliver are playing a pair of twin constables.
