10 “Harry Potter” Actors and Their Partners Who Prove Love Stays Magical Far Outside Hogwarts

In the Harry Potter universe, Harry Potter and Newt Scamander’s relationships with other characters have often saved them from trouble. Much of the films’ themes are based on the fact that relying on family and friends is fundamental. Outside of the fantasy world we see on the big screen, the actors also have excellent partners in the real world with whom they share other types of adventures.

Bright Side selected 10 love stories of actors that portrayed some of the most beloved characters of the magical franchise that has captivated us in recent years.

On December 15, 2014, Hannah Bagshawe and Redmayne decided to get married after being in a relationship for several years. They have 2 children: Iris Mary Redmayne (born in 2016) and Luke Richard Bagshawe (born in 2018).
