Afshan Azad was born on February 12, 1988, in Longsight, Manchester, England. She is 38 years old. Her parents are of Bangladeshi origin, from the Chittagong region.
She attended Whalley Range High School and later took AS-levels in chemistry, biology, English, and business studies at Xaverian College in Rusholme. She graduated from the University of Salford with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Design.
Afshan Azad had no professional acting experience when casting agents visited her school seeking young performers for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. She auditioned “just for the fun of it” and was cast as Padma Patil, the Ravenclaw twin sister of Parvati Patil (played by Shefali Chowdhury).
She appeared in five films:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)
She is particularly remembered for the Yule Ball scenes in Goblet of Fire. After the franchise ended, her on-screen acting work was limited. She has done some modeling, guest presenting (including an episode of CBBC’s Marrying Mum & Dad in 2017), social media content, and brand collaborations. She continues to appear at Harry Potter-related conventions and fan events.
In recent years she has become an advocate for awareness of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (severe pregnancy sickness), drawing on her own experiences during both pregnancies, and has spoken publicly and engaged with related organizations and parliamentary discussions.
