“I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know.”
She added: “I am proud not just of what we as group contributed as actors to the franchise but also as the children that became young adults that walked that path.
“I look at my fellow cast members now and I am just so proud of who everyone has become as people. I am proud we were kind to each other that we supported one another and that we held up something meaningful.

In another snap she shared a group photo of the entire crew on the set of the Harry Potter studios in Hertfordshire.
“I still miss the crew who made these films all the time. Thank you for all of your hard work too – I know your contributions sometimes get overlooked,” she added.
