A TOP Harry Potter actress has revealed a secret romance with her film co-star spanning nine years.
Irish beauty Evanna Lynch, now 31, played Luna Lovegood and made her film debut 18 years ago when she appeared in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
Though Luna was a lonely soul at Hogwarts, it turns out sparks were flying for Evanna behind-the-scenes with her lesser known co-star Robbie Jarvis, 37,
He played James Potter – a younger version of Harry's father – and was only briefly featured in a flashback in the Order Of The Phoenix.
Yet the pair's time on-set was enough to see sparks fly.
They secretly dated for years before making things Instagram-official in 2015.

Evanna captioned a picture of Robbie on Instagram in May 2015 with the words: "Happy 29th Birthday to this little babe!!
"Sweetest boy! Off to see a show together #happybirthdayrobbie."
They also enjoyed a series of holidays together but sadly split in 2016.
Stepping out at the New York City premiere of Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Evanna told Us magazine that she and Robbie were no longer an item, though she said: "We're still friends."

The animal lover added: "We're both vegans, so we go to a lot of vegan events together. So yeah, we're good friends."
During the sad time of their split, on Evanna's Instagram, she posted a quote by poet Rupi Kaur reading: "You mustn't have to/make him want you/he must want you himself."
She captioned the quote with a broken-heart emoji.
In another post not long after, she shared a photo of some poetry she'd written herself, captioning it: "Still in a sad place. Arting it out."
Harry Potter is still Evanna's best known role, and she's also gained recognition for her work in animal rights activism.
She has a podcast about veganism and launched vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics brand Kinder Beauty in 2019.
On September 7, 2021, Evanna returned to screens as Paisley Robinson in Silent Witness' season 24 premiere.
