She then joked “You can share clothes with the baba (I had to!)” prompting Murray to reply: “I’d expect nothing other than this message from you. On a serious note.......you reckon I’d pull off a onesie?”

Since his final appearance as Potter’s classmate Finnegan in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Murray appears to have stepped back from the spotlight and moved away from acting.

His most recent role was an uncredited appearance in Damo and Ivor: The Movie in 2018.
