Did she even have a line in that movie? I know she appeared briefly in the beginning at the train station. 'Why yes, I am a total babe, thanks for noticing.'īorn in 1991, Wright was only 10-years-old when she first appeared as Ginny for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Then Chang barely appears in the Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows movies.įor one brief moment, Leung would have been on top of the world…only to read the next novels and finding out that her character is quickly ditched.Ĭonversely, how awesome must it have been to be Bonnie Wright, the girl who played Ginny Weasley? And in the movie, she betrays Dumbledore’s Army. Where Chang quickly goes from Harry’s first girlfriend to a whiny little girl who gets dumped. Maybe she’d get to star in all of the rest of the movies!īut then she had to have read Order of the Phoenix, and then of course was in that movie. So I imagine Leung was all excited to be Harry Potter’s love interest. And as far as we knew from the Goblet of Fire book, Chang could very well have been Harry’s love interest for the rest of the series. I remember articles online back around 2003/2004 congratulating Leung on being cast as such an important character. As we all know, Cho Chang was Harry Potter’s first crush, his first kiss and his first girlfriend in the books. So we can probably assume she got cast in 2004 or sooner. Leung was a complete unknown when she beat out 3,000 other auditioning girls for the role of Cho Chang for the Goblet of Fire movie, which came out in 2005. Though at least she's got 'smokin' hotness' going for her So maybe acting isn’t his thing.īut at the same time, what about actress Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang? I feel kind of bad for her too for sort of the same reason. Though according to IMDB, he’s only ever acted in the Harry Potter films. Heck, fellow Gryffindor bit player Seamus got a bigger moment to shine in the Deathly Hallows movie than Dean Thomas. No scene even close to what Dean Thomas got in the book. But at some point in Enoch’s life, his hopes were dashed. Or maybe he just found out reading the script.

Finally Dean Thomas and Alfred Enoch would get their due!Īt some point in time, one day, someone had to tell Alfred Enoch that he would not get to play that big Dean Thomas scene. I bet he got really, really excited that, in a few years time, he’d get to act out that scene on the big screen. And then I imagine him reading the book and getting to Dean’s big scene, where he’s on the run and then gets to team up with Harry.

I imagine that Enoch was like every other person in the world in highly anticipating the 7th and final book in the Harry Potter series. In 2016, Enoch was cast as Edgar/Poor Tom in the well received Talawa Theatre Company and Manchester Royal Exchange co-production of King Lear, for which he won much praise for his characterisation and the physicality he brought to the roles.So I wonder what it must have been like for Alfred Enoch when he found out he wouldn’t get his big scene in Deathly Hallows the movie.ĭeathly Hallows the book came out in 2007, during which they were making the Order of the Phoenix movie.

In 2014, Enoch was cast in the series regular role of Wes Gibbins in the ABC legal drama series, How to Get Away with Murder produced by Shonda Rhimes. He played Bainbridge, the Bloody Guardsman, in the Sherlock episode, ' The Sign of Three'. He also voiced the character in the video game based on first part of the film.Īfter Harry Potter films, Enoch appeared in the number of plays throughout London including Coriolanus, Timon of Athens, Antigone, Happy New, and The Ballard of Salomon Pavey. Despite his character appearing several times in the part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on which the first Deathly Hallows film is based, Enoch only appeared in the final Deathly Hallows film, released in July 2011.

He appeared in seven of the eight Harry Potter films. In 2001 he was cast as Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. He is also fluent in Portuguese, and is pursuing a degree in Portuguese and Spanish at the Queen's College, Oxford. He attended Westminster School, a well-known public (private) school in London. Enoch was born in Westminster, London, to English actor William Russell and his second wife, Brazilian physician Balbina Gutierrez.
