Harry Potter Star Says OnlyFans Account Is Barring Them From Work

A former Harry Potter actor was left feeling “canceled” after she said that her recent work on OnlyFans got her barred from a fan convention. 

Jessie Cave – who appeared as Lavender Brown in the series, a character who is best known for being Ron Weasley’s girlfriend for a short time – wrote about her experience on her Substack. 

“I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OnlyFans,” she said in her post last week, which also celebrated six months on the OnlyFans platform.

“They explained it was because it’s a ‘family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn,’” Jessie continued. 

She explained: “This was baffling to me as some actors who do conventions (most actors, actually) have done TV and films in which they’ve done sex scenes and nudity. I’m just playing with my hair!” 

Earlier this year, Jessie shared that she was joining the adults-only subscription site, where she was sharing content specifically centred around “just very sensual stuff with my hair”.

Despite the controversy, Jessie said she isn’t “upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions”. 

“There’s going to be a new cast now and it’s a different time. Plus, I have done conventions for over 15 years and have enough photos and wizard memorabilia,” the 38-year-old added. 

Jessie has shared that she took on her OnlyFans account to help with bills, though she has continued her work as an actor after the Harry Potter series ended. 

She wrote about her new career venture, and finding it both freeing and empowering, on both her Instagram and her most recent Substack entry. 

“I’ve taken control of my own career, and I’m not relying on anyone but me to make things happen,” she said in a post on Monday. “It’s going to be harder this way, but more fulfilling. I won’t be waiting for emails or validation and it’s exhilarating, I can breathe again.”
