Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)
Draco Malfoy, that devious little... The young Slytherin pureblood would be Harry's chief rival in his early years at Hogwarts.

Offscreen, his colleagues have stated that he is a genuinely great guy, with him and Daniel Radcliffe being buddies in real life.
Tom Felton & Jade Olivia (Dated)
Felton seems to be a long-term kind of guy showing indicating he knows what he wants, unlike his character.

Alfred Enoch & Aja Naomi King (Allegedly Dating)
Following his adventures in the Potterverse, Enoch appeared in several television shows and was a season regular on the hit show How to Get Away with Murder. The show has rewarded Enoch in more than one way, as he appears to have found love with his co-star Aja Namoi King, with the two rumored to be dating. Enoch has admitted he currently has a girlfriend but hasn't named names as of yet. Suspiciously, the two appear to be quite cozy in photos. Dean always was the under-the-radar kind of guy.
John Cleese (Nearly Headless Nick)
Who could forget Nearly Headless Nick, the most loveable of all Ghosts in the Potterverse? The Gryffindor ghost, formally known as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, is played by actor John Cleese, of Monty Python fame.

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)
Rupert Grint played the best friend and closest confidant, Ron Weasely, to Harry Potter in the movies. Many would say Grint did a better job playing Weasely than Radcliffe or Watson did playing Harry Potter or Hermione Granger, respectively. The redhead was nigh on perfect in his portrayal, so much so the actor has found getting roles outside the Potterverse nigh on impossible.
Rupert Grint & Georgia Groome (Dated)
Based on what can be gathered from his social media pages, Grint and actress Georgia Groome have quite a dating history. They have been spotted together having dinner by British tabloids, while Grint also attended the premiere of Double Date, which starred Groome.

Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory)
Cedric Diggory, oh, what could have been!

One of the few selected for the Triwizard tournament, the Hufflepuff representative even defeated Harry in a Quidditch match, mind you, Harry was distracted by the dementors at the time. Diggory, wouldn't last long as he was murdered by Voldemort's accomplices when the Dark Lord was resurrected.
Robert Pattinson & FKA Twigs (Were Engaged)
The famous jawline would swoon over singer and fellow Brit, FKA Twigs, between 2014 to 2017. The split was a result of their demanding schedules which kept them apart.

Evanna Lynch & Robbie Jarvis (Dated)
Luna seemed to have a thing for the young Potter -no, not that one, the other one.

His sole aim is to rid the magical world of Muggles, non-magical beings, and rule both worlds. Thankfully, the dastardly deviant Dark Lord failed in his quest. The talented Ralph Fiennes portrayed you-know-who to perfection, so much so, his very presence makes people uneasy to this day.

Kenneth Branagh, who plays Lockhart appears in the Chamber of Secrets and is seen as a heartthrob and author, with a list of accomplishment so long it would seem too good to be true - which is proven to be just that. He is proven to be a fraud by Harry and Ron as he admits never achieved any great feat, simply altering the memories of those who did, only for him to then take credit. When he tries to use the same spell on Harry and Ron, he inadvertently permanently erases his own memory seeing as he used Ron's broken wand.

It is McGonagall who recommends Harry to the Quidditch team and gifts him his first broomstick, despite both first-year students normally being prohibited from playing the sport or owning brooms.
