Harry Potter fans think 'brain is glitching' after discovering massive Hollywood star's cameo in The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter fans think 'brain is glitching' after discovering massive Hollywood star's cameo in The Deathly Hallows

Fans spotted the cameo and now can't believe it

Harry Potter may have spawned the career of numerous actors, expected and unexpected, but fans are discovering a secret cameo from a massive Hollywood star from before he was famous.

The film series obviously catapulted the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint into fame forever, while also solidifying the legacy of actors such as Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, and Michael Gambon.

Add to that actors in supporting roles such as Matthew Lewis, who played Neville, and Harry Melling, who played Dudley, and you have a litany of names whose careers were set off in part by Harry Potter.

This, however, is one name spotted by fans from well before he was a name, and in a tiny cameo role.

The cameo was spotted on TikTok, and is taken from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1.

At the wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour, fans spotted a young Regé-Jean Page.

He plays a concerned wedding attendee, stood next to Hermione and Ginny when they receive word an attack is on the way.

The actor, who went on to star in Bridgerton, Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Amongst Thieves, and The Gray Man, is even a frontrunner to be playing the next James Bond, if rumours are to be believed.

The post was posted with the accompanying caption: “Pls tell me my brain isn’t glitching and you do see that too."

One comment on the post read: “For anyone still wondering: yes, it is Regé-Jean Page (Hasting's actor in Bridgerton)."

Another read: “THE DUKE OF HASTINGS—”, whilst another tagged their friend saying: “omg it is actually him!”

Page has spoken out about the role since, telling The Tonight show that he enjoyed it ‘hugely’.

He said: “I mean, the best thing about background acting, particularly on big movies like that, and I recommend it to every actor out there – is essentially, no one pays attention to you in the background, so you get to be the best actor spy.”

He stated that one particular thing he learnt from watching Emma Watson? Where she hid her phone.

He said: “I was like watching how these directors work with these actors, where Emma Watson hides her phones between takes… and this is the valuable stuff.

“It was under the tablecloths at the wedding, by the way. Sorry, Emma.”

The actor is one of many to have gone on, and not the only cameo – with Charlotte Ritchie of Ghosts, Taskmaster, and Feel Good fame having previously been spotted for her cameo in the Harry Potter franchise.
