A few ironic things I found out about some of the actors in "Harry Potter".

Rupert Grunt grew exactly how Ron did. Convenient.

Emma plays the oldest of the trio, but as far as I know she's the youngest of the three actors.

Emma was born in France, and Hermione vacationed in Frace.

I think the thing about Hermione being the oldest while Emma Watson is the yyoungest is sort-of ironic, but the rest of those things are more examples coincidences than irony.
Also, Emma Watson also vacationed in France as well as being born there. Smile

Yes, you're right about her being born and vacationing there. I guess your right it's more of coincidences than irony. I couldn't think of the work before Laughing

i think the term "coincidence" here is more appropriate, i wouldn't call the similarities between the actors and their characters "irony"

I don't even think that they are good "coincidences" to be honest with you.

Irony is if a shark learns to surf to impress his friends, but ends up being so good that his friends think he's a surfer and eat him.

Actually, Hermione IS the youngest of the trio. Her birthday is in September, Harry's is in July, and Ron's is in March.
Thought you'd want to know.

No, Hermione is the oldest. HArry is the youngest. Harry had just turned 11 when he attended Hogwarts, but Hermione was going on 12 already. You can't attend Hogwarts until you're 11.

Yea those are the right months, but Hermione was born the year before the other 2, so it really goes Hermione, Ron, then Harry is the youngest.

Hermion was born in 1979, but because her birthday was in September, she wasn't 11 years old yet when the school year started. So she had to wait for the following year. Hermione was born September 19, 1979. Ron was born March 1, 1980 and Harry was born July 31, 1980.
In real life the actress who plays Hermione is the youngest and Rupert Grint as the oldest.

Lord Voldemort is cool, Harry Potter is not. Pretty ironic, considering Voldemort is the bad guy. Smile
