Megan seemed to be full of surprises and fun facts as she opened up about her early on-screen career, which also saw her in JK Rowling’s hit novel turned film, Harry Potter.

She landed two appearances in the mystifying wizard films as an extra and even featured in a Hannah Montana advert too.

The actress turned singer said: “Another fun fact is I was actually in two of the Harry Potter movies as an extra but I was also a Quidditch player for the Gryffindor tryouts, so I had a double and everything.

“I got to go to the set and look at the green screen and we got to go to the Quidditch ground.”
