The Harry Potter stars met almost 20 years later and impressed fans. Photos then and now

The stars of the Harry Potter movie franchise delighted fans with an unexpected joint photo. Afshan Azad, who played Padma Patil, and Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, met after 20 years and showed how they had changed during this time.

The stars posed together, smiling for the lens. The photo was posted on her Instagram by Afshan Azad, who was the redheaded actor's on-screen partner at the Christmas ball.

In the movie, although Ron invited the girl to the celebration, she never got to dance with him, and then left in disappointment. The actress recalled this moment while signing the video.

"Padma and Ron reunited after 20 years. Oh, how parenthood has changed us all. P.S. He still hasn't asked me to dance," the actress joked.

She added a screenshot from the scene mentioned in the post, where the students were watching another character in the movie, Hermione.

Now the celebrities are raising their children, and their paths have diverged. Rupert realizes himself in more complex and scary film projects, while his colleague retired from this business in 2011. She admitted that she did not dream of becoming an actress, but auditioned "for fun".

Despite this, she has more than 176 thousand followers who are interested in Afshan's family life and pregnancy.
