Emma Watson played Hermione Granger in the film series. She tells Marie Claire that she is an avid cook. “I don't like using recipes — I like to cook things I just know how to cook. I figure if I went and really learned, I would be the kind of person who could open the fridge and be like, ‘I know what I will make with this one piece of celery and this random piece of butter and this pasta.’”

2. Tom Felton

Tom Felton played Draco Malfoy in the films. In an interview with The Guardian, he talked about what it was like after the series ended. “First of all, I was confronted by the fact that I wasn’t that good at acting. Auditioning as a 12-year-old is one thing – more or less making sure you don’t look down the lens or forget lines – but as an adult it is very different. In LA it was getting on the circuit: three auditions a day, different scripts, different accents and dialects – skills I hadn’t put into practice, even though I was very experienced in other ways. There were a lot of nos, and before I’d even said a word I could often see they were thinking: ‘Don’t have him, he’s the Potter kid.’ Harry Potter got me in the room, but often it was a huge disadvantage and I had to prove myself. Which I am so grateful for now.”

3. Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe played the title role in the film series. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he credited his parents for inspiring him to get in shape. “My parents do CrossFit,” Radcliffe says. “They’re in their sixties and they’re insanely fit people, so I’ve just got to keep up with [them]. They’re just setting a crazy bar.”

4. Rupert Grint

Rupert Grint played Ron Weasley in the series, and also starred on Servant. He talked about starring in the latter project to Bustle. “I’ve never been a part of a show this long, really, apart from Potter,” he says. “It’s quite comparable. And in a way, [Servant] may be more significant, because personally so much has changed in my life. I’ve become a dad, and obviously we had the pandemic…”

5. Evanna Lynch

Evanna Lynch played Luna Lovegood in the series. Lynch is vegan, and talked about her favorite foods to The Beet. “I love a creamy banana smoothie in the mornings! I usually go with 1 banana, a handful of blueberries, a tbsp of flax seeds, oat milk and a scoop of Vivo Life protein powder. The Vivo vanilla protein powder is so delicious, it will make you want to get out of bed in the mornings!”

6. Matthew Lewis

Matthew Lewis played Neville Longbottom in the series. He talked about his fitness journey in an interview with Coachweb.com. “I’ve only sort of come into this fitness world in the last couple of years, and I was training for a film last year but we didn’t have much time to prepare, so we just did as much as we could. I managed to get down to about 9.4% body-fat, I was pretty chuffed with that.”

7. Bonnie Wright

Bonnie Wright played Ginny Weasley in the films. She talked about her diet in an interview with Sakara. “I’ve recently realized that I have quite a sensitive body in terms of when I was younger, all the food that we had was cleanly cooked. Everything would be steamed, and wasn’t full of butter and things. When I started to eat too many rich foods, my taste buds changed and I think it affected my system way too much. My digestion took a bit of a beating. I recently did a 40-day complete detox of no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar - not even natural sugars. Just vegan for 40 days. Even though it was pretty difficult, it did restart my body. Then I slowly started to introduce things one by one to see what affected me. It’s amazing how your body is the best at telling you things. I think that until you really try for yourself, it’s easy to have all these ideas about what you’re meant to be doing to be healthy.”

8. Scarlett Hefner

Scarlett Hefner played Pansy Parkington in the films. She and her husband, Cooper Hefner, like to go hiking together. The couple shared this Instagram collaboration of the two of them hiking.

Helena Bonham Carter played Bellatrix Lestrange in the film series. She shared some of her beauty secrets in an interview with InStyle. “People say I look really good, and it’s because I sleep a lot, which is the biggest collagen booster ever.

10. Harry Melling

Harry Melling played Dudley Dursey in the films. He talked about being one of the lesser-known stars from the franchise, and how it helped him to People. “I think one of the blessings of that sort of stage in my life was the fact that I didn't get recognized.

11. Dawn French

Dawn French played The Fat Lady in The Prisoner of Azkaban. She talked about her struggles with weight and finding acceptance with herself in an interview. “I’m not going to be stingy to myself anymore. I never did dislike anything about my body, even when I was very, very fat. I refuse to be forced to dislike myself. I used to get really angry when I did lose weight, people going, 'You look so well,' as if you looked awful before - rewarding you for managing it, which is not easy, I accept that.”

12. Devon Murray

Devon Murray played Seamus Finnegan in the film series. In a Tweet, the actor opened up about his struggles with mental health. “I’ve been battling depression in silence for ten years and only recently spoke about it and has made a huge difference,” Murray wrote. “I had suicidal thoughts this year and that was the kick up the arse that I needed!

14. Kelly MacDonald

Kelly MacDonald played Helena Ravenclaw in the final film of the series. In an interview with The Telegraph, she talked about finding comfort in herself. “I feel like I’m growing into myself in a way I think you’re supposed to, as a woman at this age,” she says. “I’ve got a lot of older female friends who talk about their 40s in an inspiring and positive way. I think maybe because of my stature and frame, I felt like a little girl for a long time, and I was embarrassed if anything was very woman-y. I still prefer wearing trainers and boots rather than anything super-girly, but I feel, I dunno... more like a woman now.”

15. Ralph Fiennes

Ralph Fiennes is one of the many actors who has portrayed Lord Voldemort. In an interview with Female First, he talked about managing his mental health and depression. “My mental health is such that I need to keep busy. If I don’t give myself tasks, whether it’s learning a language or doing exercise or something, I can sink. The morning time is the worst. In that weird place between sleep and wakefulness, I feel a low thing coming into me.But then I get up and start the day and I do stuff and it’s sort of OK."

16. Frank Dillane

17. Genevieve Gaunt

Genevieve Gaunt was the original Pansy Parkington. She has worked in film, theater, and television. Gaunt talked about this in an interview with Frankly My Dear. “I absolutely love the fact that I’ve been going from theatre to film to TV because there are things about each medium which are exciting. I think any actor really goes for the project first, the part, who you’re working with, what’s the script like, but I love being able to switch between different forms.”

18. Eddie Redmayne

Eddie Redmayne plays Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts films. He talked about prepping for the role to The Belfast Telegraph. "Some actors could turn up on the day and talk to tennis balls and it would all be fine, but I don't have a good enough imagination. The great thing about our job, however, is you can use playing a character as an excuse to have fun, so I went to wildlife parks and met people who handle animals."

19. Katherine Waterston

Katherine Waterston plays Tina Goldstein in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. After creator JK Rowling’s transgender comments were made, Waterston felt like she had to show support to the trans community. “Because I was associated with Fantastic Beasts, it felt important to communicate my position,” she explained to The Independent. “One wondered if they might be grouped in with other people’s views by association.”

"I would say if you feel yourself coming down with a cold, which I'm like the worst person to nominate this because I sound horrible today - tail end of laryngitis. But... oil of oregano.

He says that he has reached a point of comfort in his career. “I realized after Star Trek that I’d achieved a lot, I was financially independent; but something about my way of going about life wasn’t satisfying me.

10. Harrison Ford

She says that she makes sure that her way of eating is sustainable, and shared her approach. “To be honest, I just found that making sure that 80 percent of my diet during the week is vegetable-based and everything else is just smaller portions, helped my skin, helped my energy levels, just helped everything.”

1. Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke played Sarah Connor in the film, Genisys. She has amazing skin, and shared her routine with Byrdie. "My morning and nighttime routines are really very similar. In the evening, I might do a double cleanse depending on how much makeup either I or someone else has put on my skin. I also put more moisturizing cream on my face at night than I do in the daytime. In the morning, if I have a big day or I have some stuff coming up, I also do a sheet mask and use a face roller. I keep all of those things in the fridge, which always helps."

2. Linda Hamilton

Linda Hamilton is the actress most associated with the role of Sarah Connor. She originated the role in the first film, and has returned in three subsequent ones. In an essay for InStyle, she talked about working and training for the film Dark Fate. “On the film we worked a lot of six-day weeks; even if we had a weekend off, there was probably a scuba lesson or military training. When I did have a day off, I’d sleep 20 hours. I’d rest my body and read my books to take my mind elsewhere. Still, the results are different, you know? It’s disappointing that you can work as hard and not look the same. But then you just think, ‘I cannot be what I was.’ It took me a while to just go, ‘Hmm, fuck that! Let’s go with what we’ve got and make it as fantastic as possible.’ I’d never felt like a badass until I made this film.”

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the titular character, also known as the T-800, in all of the films. He opened up about his diet secrets in an interview. “The way you do it is burning more calories every day than you eat,” he says. “So take the number 2,000. You have 2,000 calories that you eat every day, but you burn off 2,500 calories every day. And now you have a negative of 500 calories. And every day you will start slowly going down with the body weight and down with the body fat. And the first place it will go is at the stomach.”

5. Lena Headey

6. Common

Common played Lieutenant Barnes in Salvation. He shared his fitness routine with Men’s Journal. “I work out four days a week and if possible, five. But I’ve been improving my workouts by doing things that are active. I’m not just pumping weights. I work with the bands. Today I was doing drills where it felt like I was doing basketball drills. I never used to do a lot of cardio and I still don’t do a lot of cardio because then I get real thin. But basically it’s just constant workouts and overall I just eat healthy. Of course I have days where I might go in on some French fries but overall it’s a pretty clean diet.”

7. Claire Danes

Claire Danes played Kate Connor in Rise of The Machines. Danes shared some of her favorite workouts with Net-A-Porter.com. “Generally, I run, but I couldn’t do it when I was pregnant, and I was introduced to SoulCycle, Barre, and then The Class By Taryn Toomey. Initially, I was a little hesitant about the ‘clubbyness’ of it, but it is nice to be in a group and to exercise with others as part of a community. Endorphins are released when you move and when you’re social. So, when you combine the two, the result is quite potent.”

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

Bryce Dallas Howard played Kate Connor in Salvation. She also stars in the Jurassic World films. Howard revealed to People that she used a wooden platform to help her get in shape for the films. “I’d put my foot on it and do calf raises and then stay on my tippy toe and do squats,” she said. “Then I’d turn perpendicular and exercise each side of my foot. Just to practice the stabilizing muscles.”

9. Brian Austin Green

Brian Austin Green played Derek Reese in the series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The actor struggles with ulcerative colitis, and had a flare-up in 2022.

10. Gabriel Luna

Gabriel Luna played Rev-9 in Dark Fate. He tells Men’s Health that he was inspired to get fit because he knew he’d be working with Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I knew I had to get my body into a good place,” Luna said. “Because at the time, I was drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes and all this other stuff I didn’t need to be doing if I intended to play this role. I knew I’d eventually have to stand in front of this guy, and my motivation was, I want him to see me and see a formidable foe. I don’t want him to see me and think, ‘I could squash this guy with my thumbs’.”

11. Helena Bonham Carter

Evan Ross played Messalla in the last two films. He talked about his training process for the films with The New York Times. “We usually start with some cardio: boxing, some exercise with the slam ball, pull-ups, push-ups, dips,” he said. “That’s the warm-up.

5. Jena Malone

Jena Malone played Johanna Mason in three of the films. She shared her training process in an interview with Vogue. “I lifted 235 pounds in preparation for that movie and my whole body transformed. The same stunt team—they’re called 87Eleven—got me in shape for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. We focused on martial arts–type training for the role of Johanna, which helped with stamina and endurance. I also did strength training with Patrick Murphy, who is kind of like a body sculptor. I trained five days a week for two months before we started filming, and then I kept it up during the months of shooting.”

6. Liam Hemsworth

Liam Hemsworth played Gale Hawthorne in all four films. He shared some of his fitness secrets with Men’s Health. “I’ve been trying to spend as much time outdoors as I can. Cycling, playing soccer or basketball, going for two-hour hikes and doing as many push-ups as I can on the way.”

7. Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore played Alma Coin in the last two films. She talked about her workout secrets in an interview with Health Magazine. "I try to do Ashtanga yoga two to three times a week. I've also started working out with a trainer, doing light weights and a lot of jumping around. The main problem is I can't do anything six days straight because I get hurt. That's the thing about old age, eventually your hip starts to hurt and you have to switch and do something else."

8. Natalie Dormer

Natalie Dormer played Cressida in the final two movies. She shared some of her favorite workouts with POPSugar.

Sam Clafin joined the series in the second film as Finnick Odair. He recently starred in Daisy Jones & The Six, and broke down his training process to Men’s Health. “So, we basically did as much cardio and careful dieting as was safe. I was training with a personal trainer, and was on a very, very specific calorie per day intake—he’d mapped out a daily meal plan, and I stuck to that as closely as possible. And no word of a lie, within a month we started to see results.”

11. Jeffery Wright

Jeffery Wright played Beetee Latier in the film series. In a “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me” interview with Us Weekly, he shared a hobby he picked up while filming. “I took up surfing while filming The Hunger Games in Oahu, Hawaii.

12. Patina Miller

Patina Miller played Commander Paylor in the film series. She is also a Broadway star, and talked about how doing shows changed her wellness routine to Fit For Broadway. “I got on Broadway, I started eating a more pescatarian diet and I started training about 5 times a week. I would do about 2 strength training workouts and then I would do 3 days of cardio on top of the 8 show schedule. I realized that nutrition played a role in my vocal health, because taking out all the dairy and a lot of the processed food made for less phlegm so that I could sing and also treating my body from the inside out. Treating it right... it really played a role in the energy I was able to give in each show. And being strong made it great for me to be able to physically take on the demands of being in such a rigorous show schedule 8 times a week.”

13. Josh Hutcherson

Josh Hutcherson played lead role Peeta Mellark for all four movies. He looked back on that time in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It was worlds apart from anything I have ever experienced. It's like a double-edged sword. Obviously the benefit of having more projects come your way is great. But when I set out to become an actor at 8, being famous and being recognized was not on my radar. I just wanted to make movies. That naiveté followed me until The Hunger Games slapped me in the face. It's hard for anybody to digest, especially being a kid from Kentucky. It made me realize the kind of actor I wanted to be. The idea of doing big, big projects that make you even more well-known doesn't sound as appetizing. If that opportunity came up again, I would have to think about it more."
