Harry Potter fans just realising Filch actor’s son is a telly star in real life

David Bradley has enjoyed a lengthy and successful career in showbusiness, with roles in the Harry Potter franchise and Game of Thrones, and his son has also followed him into the limelight

Harry Potter and Game of Thrones star David Bradley isn’t just the only celeb in his family.

The 83 year old actor has three kids with his wife Rosanna and their eldest, George, is a bit of a telly star himself, having featured on ITV’s ‘Love Your Home And Garden’ with Alan Titchmarsh.

This programme was a spin-off from Alan’s hit series ‘Love Your Garden’ and graced screens for two seasons between 2017 and 2018.

George is an architect who co-runs Bradley Van Der Straeten, a residential architecture firm in London, alongside his mate Ewald Van der Straeten. The pair, who have been friends since their uni days, kicked off their venture in 2007.

Chatting about his stint on the telly, George previously said: “Working on the show with Alan Titchmarsh and the team has been a real privilege for us as architects.”

“We both believe in the power that good design has to change peoples’ lives. To transform the homes of families who have faced consistent challenges and to be able to empower them, through their newly designed homes to achieve independence, happiness and increased well-being is why we do what we do,” reports the Express.

With Alan and fellow presenters Katie Rushworth and Kunle Barker, the pair revamped the pads and gardens of some truly deserving Brits.

One memorable project involved making the home of Benita and her 15 year old son Josh, who’s got multiple disabilities and uses a wheelchair, a lot more accessible.

Another notable makeover involved transforming a living area to ensure a man with dementia could stay safe, while also enhancing the space for his family.

David’s daughter Francesca works in casting and was involved in the production of Michael Bay’s 2019 film, 6 Underground. She also had a brief moment on the big screen years earlier when she appeared as an extra in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, thanks to an invitation from director Chris Columbus.

David’s daughter also appeared in a Harry Potter film

In a pivotal scene where David’s character Argus Filch accuses Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) of killing his beloved cat Mrs Norris, Francesca can be seen briefly on screen.

David confessed that the experience turned him into a “pushy parent” as he tried his best to ensure Francesca was visible on camera. He recalled: “I just saw this one boy who was taller than her that just elbowed himself into the frame right in front of my daughter and I thought ‘I’ve got to handle this, I can’t have this’, so suddenly I became this ambitious, pushy parent.

“I pushed my way through, acting my little socks off, and at the same time just manoeuvred this boy out of the way. In the premiere there she was, her little head just popped up for a second and I thought ‘job done’.”
