Cho Chang Actress Katie Leung Joining Bridgerton isn’t the First Time Harry Potter Stars Have Made the Jump to High Society

Netflix broke records with Bridgerton, a period romantic drama show that features the titular family in the midst of a time when all the children are gearing up to get married soon. The viewership numbers were unparalleled with many pop culture moments inspired by the narrative and the scenes from the series.

Three siblings have already been paired off and married in Bridgterton’s three seasons. The next season is set to revolve around Benedict’s love story, the second son of Viscountess Violet Bridgerton. We have seen Benedict’s character transform from a meek boy to a man ready to take on the world.

Bridgerton Season 4 will explore his character in greater detail and recite his love story. Joining him are new cast members, some of whom are from the popular Harry Potter world. Let’s take a look at other Bridgerton cast members who made the leap from wizarding to the regal high society era of London.

Katie Leung

From playing the love interest of Harry Potter in the franchise to now emulating the role of a high society twice-widowed Lady Araminta Gun, actress Katie Leung has come a long way. Many fans know her as Cho Chang from the magical world of Hogwarts, a role she played when she was just 18 years old.

Now, Leung will enter the regency era of London to introduce her two daughters to the ton and get them married. She will certainly play a crucial role in the Netflix series, something all fans are looking forward to.

Freddie Stroma

We don’t remember all side characters who appear on the screen for barely a moment, but Freddie Stroma certainly made an impression with his brief appearance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The actor played the role of an arrogant Quidditch player Cormac McLaggen and later went on to portray Daphne’s suitor in Bridgerton season 1. Stroma is also known for his work in projects including Peacemaker, Pitch Perfect, and Time After Time. Even though he was on the screen for a short time in both Harry Potter and Bridgerton, he stood out thanks to his charm and demeanor.

Rege-Jean Page

Nobody can forget the insane excitement and thrill in fans after seeing the dashing Rege-Jean Page in Bridgerton season 1. He did not just sweep Daphne off her feet but managed to make the entire fandom fall in love with him. Page charmed the viewers with his incredibly good looks and his performance that blended aspects of a suave Lord with that of a fun-loving player.

At the same time, not many people know that Page had a brief role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, at Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour’s wedding. This role was his claim to fame before taking the world by storm as Simon in Bridgerton.

Three seasons of Bridgerton are streaming on Netflix.
