The Saunders Triplets: The Faces Behind Baby Harry Potter

From Unnamed Extras to Unforgettable Roles

The Saunders triplets, two brothers and a sister, played the iconic role of baby Harry Potter in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Despite their uncredited and unnamed roles, their portrayal of the beloved character left an indelible mark on the franchise.

Their Journey to the Wizarding World

Born in 2000, the Saunders triplets were just 14 months old when they were cast in the first Harry Potter film. They shared the role of the infant Harry, appearing in brief but memorable scenes, including the iconic leave-taking scene where Professor Dumbledore leaves baby Harry with the Dursleys.

As the franchise progressed, the triplets continued to make cameos in subsequent films, portraying Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley, as a baby and a young member of the Weasley family.
