Can you recognise these Bridgerton heartthrobs from their roles in the Harry Potter films as teens?

NETFLIX’S Bridgerton has taken the world by storm since it first hit our screens last month.

But did you know that some of the hunky cast have also starred in some of the Harry Potter films too?

Havev you spotted the Harry Potter stars amongst the Bridgerton cast?

The period drama, based on Julia Quinn’s series of nine novels set in London between the years of 1813 and 1827, follows the drama based around the Bridgerton family.

It has received rave reviews and many viewers couldn’t help but comment on the fact some of the stars are very easy on the eye – including one actor who sent fans into a frenzy after seductively licking a spoon.

Some of them also starred in Harry Potter when they were a lot younger – have you managed to spot them?

Just in case you haven’t, let’s have a look at them….



The star had a short cameo in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 11 years ago

Regé-Jean Page

Yes, to our amazement hunky Rege-Jean, 31, who plays Simon Basset in the popular Netflix show, had a small part in one of the Harry Potter movies.

The actor – who is most well-known for his role as the Duke of Hastings – played a small part in the first instalment of the Deathly Hallows 11 years ago.

If you cast your minds back to the year of 2010 when the blockbuster premiered, you may remember his brief stint in the show alongside actress Emma Watson.

During his short but sweet three second cameo, his character is a guest at Bill Weasley and Fleur Celacour’s wedding and is seen standing next to Hermione Granger.

And many fans have taken to Twitter to share their disbelief with the news.

One wrote on Twitter: “REGÉ-JEAN WAS IN ONE OF THE MOVIES FROM HARRY POTTER SERIES???”

Another said: “You know rege jean (Simon) in Bridgerton also appeared in Harry Potter. I knew it I watched him somewhere.”

A third wrote: “REGE-JEAN AKA THE DUKE OF HASTINGS AKA SIMON BASSET IS IN HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.”
