J.K. Rowling developed an entire wizarding world around “The Boy Who Lived”, but the stories of women he met along the way were just as captivating. These awesome female characters shaped the Harry Potter universe as much as Harry did, despite the fact their names weren’t on the book cover.
These powerful ladies showed us what it means to be a true warrior and put your life on the line every day. They were fierce, determined and incredibly courageous, inspiring little girls (and women) around the world to find the same qualities in their heart and fight for what’s right. If you’re still suffering a major case of Harry Potter nostalgia, take a look at magical ladies who defined childhood for millions of young book lovers.
Clémence Poésy as Fleur Delacour
Goblet of Fire gave us several exciting new characters, including French beauty Fleur Delacour. She represented the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic during the Triwizard Tournament, and won hearts of many – including Ron Weasley! Thing got a little bit weird, since she later married his brother Bill and their family had a hard time accepting her until she proved worthy of his love.
Clémence Poésy – Now
The role in the Harry Potter series opened many doors for this French actress and she finally started landing English speaking roles she longed for since childhood. Poésy played small supporting parts in critically acclaimed movies 127 Hours and In Bruges before being cast as the lead in TV series The Tunnel.
