Back to school: Devon played Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter movies
The Irish child star has starred in all eight Harry Potter films, starting with 2001’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
He saw the series until the end, when Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 ended the films in 2011, accumulating a reported net worth of EUR 1.2 million [approx £1 million].
He allegedly threw this money at “cars, drinks and girls” against the background of his fame, as his mother said in 2016 when the family was sued by the former Devon agent for 286,000 euros.

Agent Neil Brooks was fired by his family for failing to cope with the bad publicity he received after being photographed smoking on the set of the 13-year-old Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire in 2004. , in his Hogwarts school uniform.
Devon’s mother testified before the High Court during the trial that Brooks was fired because “the world was abused on his shoulders and there was no agent there. Every newspaper, on the internet, photos of a child smoking ‘.
She said: “His job was to protect the child. That’s why he took the bag. He didn’t! ‘
The case also drew attention to claims that Devon made claims on set, such as a driver, a Lexus, an apartment for his entire family to live in and a trailer sound system.
Wild child? Devon’s family fired their agent for failing to cope with the bad publicity he received after being photographed smoking on the set of the 13-year-old Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire in 2004. , in his Hogwarts school uniform.
The legal issue also challenged an alleged commission increase imposed by the agent.
Looks like Devon hasn’t been much into acting since he fought Voldemort.
He is credited only for appearing in a 2017 music video and 2018 movie Damo & Ivor: The Movie, based on an Irish TV show.
However, this was criticized, with The Irish Times slamming it for flooding it with “terrible jokes to the detriment of working class wasters”.
