From Hogwarts to Hollywood: The Enduring Careers of Harry Potter Stars

Kelly Macdonald – Helena Ravenclaw

Kelly Macdonald, known to Potterheads as Helena Ravenclaw or the Gray Lady, made her film debut at just 19 in “Trainspotting,” acting alongside seasoned pros. In “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” Harry questioned her about the diadem Horcrux amid the Battle of Hogwarts. Interestingly, during that scene, she had to work with a cardboard cutout of Harry.

Beyond Potter, Kelly has graced various films and series like “Gosford Park,” “No Country for Old Men,” “Brave,” “Black Mirror,” “Intermission,” and “Boardwalk Empire.” She even bagged an Emmy award for her role in “The Girl in the Cafe.”
