Now that Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars is over (Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson won), DWTS professional dancer-turned-judge Derek Hough has a little more time on his hands.
This week, the Mirror Ball trophy winner dropped the video below and wrote: “Did you know Jules Hough and I were in the first Harry Potter film?”
He reports that he and his sister, fellow DWTS pro dancer-turned-judge-turned-co-host Julianne Hough, are veterans of the Potterverse: “We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch!”
@derekhough Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? 🎬✨ We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! 🏰 It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! 😉 Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays 🧙🪄 #harrypotter ♬ Harry Potter – The Intermezzo Orchestra
Hough family fans are going wild over the big reveal. As one replied: “WHAT! How did I not recognize Julianne in that scene!”
Another wrote: “Dudeeeeeee this just made me love Harry Potter even more.” And another vowed to “rewatch Harry Potter for this specific reason now.”
