After all this time, the Harry Potter cast still has each other’s backs. That eternal connection was put on display this week when they banded together to support co-star Evanna Lynch, a.k.a. Luna Lovegood, who competed in the finale of Dancing with the Stars on Monday night.
Though the actress didn’t win, she was first in the hearts of Potter fans and her former castmates. Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Katie Leung (Cho Chang), and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) filmed messages of support for Lynch, who took home the third-place prize with partner Keo Motsepe.
“Evanna, you are in the final!” Watson exclaimed excitedly in her filmed clip. “I am so proud of you!”

“Evanna, my darling, despite all of our differences at Hogwarts, I want to wish you all the best tonight,” added Felton.
Even Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was able to sneak in a few words of support for Lynch from the U.K. premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. “Best of luck, Evanna! I hope you win,” she said encouragingly, giving the actress the thumbs up.

It brings a tear to our eye knowing those Potter kids are still there for each other, after all this time, always.
