BBC Radio 1's host Arielle Free shared a magical throwback with her followers by posting snaps of her first screen role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The Scottish DJ, aged 36, was just 17 when she played a Beauxbaton student visiting Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament in the hit 2005 film. Delighting fans, Arielle uploaded shots from the iconic movie and included recent photos where she sported her Beauxbatons outfit for Halloween, as well as a clip showing her DJing in costume to an excited crowd. Captioning the nostalgic post on social media, she wrote: "There was only one option for Halloween this year...dress up as myself as one of the Beauxbatons from Harry Potter. Yes that’s me in actual Goblet of Fire."
Reflecting on how it all began, she said that it was her inaugural gig when she moved to London. "I crashed the audition (as I was a massive Potter head) got the part, filmed for over a year, got to be on set with the greatest actors in British filming history AND also met my future husband's sister! We wouldn’t know I’d be her future sister in law until over ten years later (and yes we do mention it every family get together)," she recounted.
