Harry Potter’s cast ages explained.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Harry Potter film series is widely regarded as one of the more successful book-to-movie adaptations, yet how successful was the series in accurately portraying character ages? The Harry Potter film series began in 2001 with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and spawned seven sequels.
13 Rupert Grint - Ron Weasley Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone also introduced Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend at Hogwarts. Grint is slightly older than Radcliffe, with the actor turning 12 a month before filming began in September 2000. Ron is the same age as Harry in the books and films due to being in the same school year, meaning Grint was one year older than Ron's age of 11 when filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
10 Matthew Lewis - Neville Longbottom Alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the Gryffindor house was Neville Longbottom, with his debut also coming in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Neville's age was also 11 as were his peers, with actor Matthew Lewis matching this. Lewis had turned 11 three months before filming began on the first film.
7 Evanna Lynch - Luna Lovegood Luna Lovegood is a character whose first appearance came in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, yet she played an integral role in the final four movies of the series. Lovegood is a Ravenclaw member at Hogwarts and was 15 years old at the time of her debut as Harry meets her during his fifth year at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Evanna Lynch, Lovegood's actress, was also 15 when filming began for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
4 Robbie Coltrane - Rubius Hagrid Another debutant in the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was the lovable Hogwarts groundskeeper Rubius Hagrid. In the first film, Hagrid is 72 years of age. Hagrid was brought to life by the late, great Robbie Coltrane who tragically passed away at the age of 72 in 2022. Coltrane's birth year of 1950 meant that he was 50 years old when filming began on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
