Harry Potter Star Breaks Silence After She Was Banned From Fan Event For Her Adult Account

Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in the final three Harry Potter films, recently shared that she was turned away from a fan convention because of her adult content page on OF. 

The actress shared the news on her Substack, explaining that the organizers told her the event was a “family show” and thus was not compatible with the platform’s association with adult content. 

Cave described the decision as “baffling,” stressing her page isn’t se*ual at all.

Cave, 38, first announced her new venture in March, promising subscribers “the best quality hair sounds” and “very sensual stuff.” 

Her content includes hair brushing, styling, and ASMR videos, which are far from explicit. 

Still, she admitted that the platform has led to unwanted attention, including unsolicited explicit messages and pictures, according toUnilad.

Cave stated that she was taken aback by the convention’s decision to bar her due to her side hustle.

“I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OF. They explained it was because it’s a ‘family show’ and OF is affiliated with p**n. 

“This was baffling to me, as some actors who do conventions (most actors, actually) have done TV and films in which they’ve done se* scenes and nudity. I’m just playing with my hair!” Cave said.

On her Before We Break Up Again podcast, she clarified further.

While her content appeals to people with hair fetishes, “fetish doesn’t necessarily mean se*ual,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Still, some netizensargued that while Cave is free to start an adult content page, convention organizers are also free to screen their participants.

“She has the freedom to have an OF page, and they have the freedom not to invite her. That’s maximum freedom,” one commenter wrote.

Despite the setback, Cave stated that she isn’t heartbroken about closing the chapter on Harry Potter conventions. 

“I am not upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions,” she wrote. 

“There’s going to be a new cast now, and it’s a different time. Plus, I have done conventions for over 15 years and have enough photos and wizard memorabilia.”

The actress reflected that her income from conventions often kept her financially afloat, calling it “the only real money I made” some years. 

But she also expressed gratitude for the experience and acceptance that it’s time to move forward. 

“I am very lucky I got to do them. It’s time to move on and play some new characters,” she said.

Cave’s intention to leave her ties with the Harry Potterfranchise seemed evident months ago, when she explained her decision to start her new page on her Substack.

“One year. I’ll try for one year. My aim? To get the house safe, cover the arsenic/lead wallpaper, build a new roof etc. My aim? To get out of debt. My aim? To empower myself?”

“To prove to those in the past who have misjudged me that I’m not so sweet? To put time into something I never invested in before: self-love,” she wrote.

Cave’s exit from conventions comes as Warner Bros. prepares for a new Harry Pottertelevision series on HBO, with a fresh cast stepping into the franchise’s iconic roles. 

Young actress Sienna Moosah will play Lavender Brown in the reboot, joining Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.

For Cave, the future isn’t about looking back atHogwarts, though some netizens just couldn’t help themselves with the Harry Potter references when reacting to the news of her convention ban.

“I think the Weasley Twins really scammed her with those Love Potions,” one commenter wrote.

“That’s unfair, she was just showing us all her Chamber of Secrets,” joked another.

“So Ron rejects her and she goes and does this,” another commenter stated.
