17 'Harry Potter' stars, ranked from least to most successful

Rankin has had three minor acting credits since "Deathly Hallows Part 2," and he has 59,200 followers on Instagram. However, he has been credited as a production coordinator on successful shows like "Downton Abbey" and "A Discovery of Witches," so, while he doesn't have the same level of traditional Hollywood success, he's been busy.

Murray, 32, only has one movie appearance to his name after "Potter" ended in 2011, an uncredited role in 2018's "Damo & Ivor: The Movie." He was also in a music video in 2017, for "Every Time You Need Me," by Simonna.

On the social media front, Murray has around 211,000 followers on Instagram and 288,000 on Twitter, but overall, Murray is still only known for blowing stuff up as Seamus.

Herdman, 33, is also a professional MMA fighter as well as an actor. Since "Potter" ended, he's secured a few acting credits in the series "Marcella," as well as "Alex Rider" in 2020. He also appeared in an episode of "Strike Back."

Most recently, he was credited in a short film called "Cornerboy." Herdman's last feature film role was 2018's "Robin Hood" remake, which starred Taron Egerton.

Herdman has fewer social media followers than Murray (189,000 on Instagram and just 4,321 on Twitter), but his continued acting career and fighting career puts him in front.

It's taken Leung, 33, a few years, but she's seriously poised to become one of the more successful members of the "Potter" cast. In the last four years, she's appeared in "T2: Trainspotting," eight episodes of Amazon series "White Dragon," the British series "Chimerica," the mini-series "The Nest," the mini-series "Roadkill," and "Locked Down."

She also has an impressive 381,000 followers on Instagram and 211,000 on Twitter. According to her bio, she's also an ambassador for My Body Back Project, "a project supporting women & [non-binary] folks who have experienced sexual violence to connect with their bodies, health & sexuality after assault," and Into Film, a "funded educational charity, putting film at the heart of children and young people's learning."

It's only up from here for Leung.

The Phelps twins, 35, have continued to act together, rarely appearing in things without each other. While they haven't acted much since the end of the films, they've capitalized on their "Potter" fame, and each have over 2.5 million followers on Instagram, (James has 2.8, Oliver has 2.6).

They're also set to appear in a 2021 horror film together, "Last Night in Soho," directed by Edgar Wright. The two also appeared as themselves in "The Cars That Made Britain Great."

The twins also co-host a podcast together, "Normal Not Normal," that sees them "talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what 'normal' means to them."

While Wright, 30, hasn't appeared in any blockbuster films lately, her clout has only grown since playing the youngest Weasley. In addition to the multiple indie films she's acted in, ("The Sea," "After Dark," "Before I Sleep"), she's also become a director and founded her own production company, BonBonLumiere. She also has a cool 3.1 million followers on Instagram.

Her directorial debut, a short called "Separate We Come, Separate We Go," starred her "Potter" co-star David Thewlis and received positive reviews at its debut during the Cannes Film Festival. Most recently, she's focused on directing music videos.

However, she hasn't done much since 2018, so we can't put her higher than some of her co-stars who are still working constantly.

Poésy, 38, has appeared in multiple iconic properties — besides "Potter," she had a small arc during season four of "Gossip Girl" as Chuck's French girlfriend Eva, and was in the most recent Christopher Nolan film, "Tenet."

Poésy also starred in the French series "The Tunnel" for five years, and currently stars in "En thérapie," a French series about the aftermath of the 2015 Paris attacks. She also appeared in the 2020 film "Resistance."

So, what she lacks in social media (120,000 Instagram followers), she has made up for it with parts in prestige films — she also appeared in "127 Hours" and "In Bruges" in between her "Potter" films.

Lynch, 29, has found the most fame on social media — she has 3.6 million followers on Instagram — but she keeps busy with other projects as well. She hosts "The ChickPeeps Vegan Podcast" and co-founded the Kinder Beauty Box company, a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free makeup box subscription.

She also competed on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2018, and finished in third place. Acting-wise, she's appeared in a few indie films, but clearly her main focus is on other ventures.

Truly, we have to thank Lewis (and his character, Neville Longbottom), for his legendary glow-up that caused an entire generation to create the term "Longbottoming." The cultural impact of that alone places him above some of his co-stars.

However, the 31-year-old is also still acting regularly. He appeared in the 2018 series "Girlfriends," as well as the 2020 series "All Creatures Great and Small." "Ripper Street," "Happy Valley," "Me Before You," and even an episode of "Drunk History" are among his other credits.

Lewis also hosts "The Official Leeds United Podcast," and he has 2.8 million Instagram followers and 1.4 million Twitter followers.

Melling, 32, has become quite the actor since leaving "Potter" behind him. After his last appearance in "Deathly Hallows Part 1," he's appeared in: "Merlin," "The Lost City of Z," "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," "His Dark Materials," "The Old Guard," "The Devil All the Time," "The Queen's Gambit," and "Say Your Prayers," among other things. A very impressive résumé for someone who used to be known as the annoying, evil cousin.

He's set to appear in the Joel Coen-directed adaptation of "The Tragedy of Macbeth" alongside Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, so it's safe to say we'll only be hearing more from Melling.

Yes, Stroma's appearance in "Bridgerton" bumped him up a few spots — how could it not? It's been one of the biggest sensations in recent history, and he played a literal prince.

But the 34-year-old has been steadily acting for years outside of "Bridgerton." He starred in "Unreal," had a role in "Pitch Perfect" (phenomenon), and appeared in an episode of "Game of Thrones" (third phenomenon he's been involved with to date). He also starred in "Time After Time" as H.G. Wells, and is stars in "The Crew," a Kevin James-led sitcom on Netflix.

While Felton is still best known for Malfoy, he's been able to capitalize on that in a way few other "Potter" stars have. The 33-year-old recently watched the first film in the series, "Sorcerer's Stone" for the first time and reacted live on TikTok, getting lots of headlines. Plus, whenever he posts a throwback from set — more headlines. It's helped him gain a massive 10.5 million Instagram followers and 3.1 million Twitter followers.

Felton does still act though — he had a sweet arc on "The Flash" as Julian, appeared as Laertes in "Ophelia," and has been in other indie films in the last decade. But he hasn't had his big, leading man role yet.

Grint isn't as mega-famous as his co-stars, but that seems to be the way he wants it. He only joined Instagram last year ... and already has over 4 million followers.

The 32-year-old hasn't appeared in many films since the saga ended, but he has been successful on TV. He starred in (and executive produced) the Crackle series "Snatch" alongside future "Bridgerton" star Phoebe Dynevor and "Skins" heartthrob Luke Pasqualino. Currently, he stars in the Apple TV series "Servant," which horror icon M. Night Shyamalan produces. It's already been renewed for a third season.

Enoch's run on "How to Get Away with Murder" was popular enough that there's a significant number of people who know him better as Wes Gibbins than Dean Thomas — and that's saying something. The Emmy-winning show wrapped up its six-season run in May 2020. That puts him in the upper echelon of "Potter" child stars.

The 32-year-old is set to continue his TV success in the Apple TV series "Foundation," which co-stars Jared Harris and Lee Pace.

Radcliffe carried an entire franchise on his back, which is no small feat, which is why his post-"Potter" career has been so interesting to watch. He's shied away from big budget films, instead focusing on absolutely bonkers films like "Guns Akimbo," "Swiss Army Man," and the interactive finale of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." He also appeared in the magical film "Now You See Me 2," in which he pointedly is not a magician.

The 31-year-old has also had a successful theater career. He famously starred in "Equus" and the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," which earned him a Grammy nod. He also has two Drama Desk nominations under his belt.

Watson, 30, went from "Harry Potter" to a Disney princess in the live-action "Beauty and the Beast," an infamous criminal in "Bling Ring," a beloved manic pixie dream girl in "Perks of Being a Wallflower," and the eldest March sister in "Little Women," among other roles.

She also graduated from Brown University, was appointed a UN Goodwill Ambassador and launched the HeForShe campaign, is part of the G7, has done extensive modeling, and is on the board of Kering, a luxury goods company.

Her impact will still be felt around the world, whether or not she retires from acting — her now-dormant Instagram still has a staggering 59.3 million followers.

Could it have been anyone else? Pattinson spun his one-movie role into the leading man of one of the other biggest franchises of the 2010s: "Twilight."

After a decade of distancing himself from big blockbusters by starring in films like "Good Time" and "The Lighthouse," Pattinson is ready for his big, mainstream comeback. He starred in "Tenet," "The King," and is going to become Batman next year. There's no one else that compares, honestly.
