10 Scandals That Cursed The Cast Of Harry Potter

10. Harry Potter And The Former Agent Who Sued For His Rightful Fortune

Devon Murray, who played Seamus Finnigan in the series, was taken to High Court in 2016 by former agent Neil Brooks who alleged that Murray "tried to dodge out of his obligations under the contract in an unlawful manner" after Goblet of Fire wrapped. The case brought against him suggested that he now owed him commission fees of more than £230,000.

Murray played the role of Seamus in all eight films between 2001 and 2011, earning an estimated £970,000 meaning he would be required to pay over a quarter of that to his disgruntled agent.

The actor's mother Fidelma Murray had sacked her son's agent after he failed stop images of him smoking on set in 2004 being published online.

The High Court heard that Mr Murray gets by on £1,000 a month in residual payments from his role after he admitted to squandering his fortune on drink, cars and girls and that the family almost lost their house and didn’t have the money to pay lawyers to represent them in court.

Ultimately the talent agent won the case and Devon was ordered to pay up £210,000.
