Revision as of 20:10, 9 September 2015

Daphne de Beistegui (b. 26 March 2000)[1] is an English teen actress who portrayed Lily Luna Potter in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. To date, this is her first and only professional film acting role and she has not appeared in any production since.

Career

She was cast as Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's youngest child and only daughter somewhere either in 2009 or early 2010 given that the production of the Deathly Hallows films—both parts one and two—were shot back-to-back as one film from 19 February 2009 to 12 June 2010.[2][3] Her casting was first announced late in June 2011.[4][5]

The first King's Cross shoot was filmed on location in May 2010. After the film had wrapped, it was decided by David Yates that the Epilogue scene be reshot in December due to dissatisfying results with the first shoot. The reshoot took place at Leavesden Studios on soundstages instead of reusing the real station, which made filming difficult during the previous attempt.[6]

According to her on-screen brother Will Dunn (James Potter II), Daphne followed Daniel Radcliffe through the set always hugging him—even when they were not filming, she would be hugging him.

Daniel Radcliffe later mentioned in an interview for Total Film Indonesia:[7]

"My children are adorable. My children are fantastic. They’re wonderful, sweet, all of them. [...] And then there’s Daphnie [de Beistegui] who plays Lily. She was amazing. She’s just like this little, incredible creature. She kind of basically adopted me as her father for the days that we were filming. So she would sort of be hanging onto me as we were walking around the set, which was great. And she’s really, really sweet. They’re all so smart, Arthur, Will and Daphne are all very bright."
