Harry Potter actor is ordered to pay his former agent £210,000 - After he tweeted about how he blew all his earnings on fast living

A Harry Potter star has been ordered to pay his former agent a £210,000 slice of the million pound fortune he earned from the hit films.

Devon Murray, 27, was taken to the High Court by this week by agent Neil Brooks, who secured him the continuing role of Irish schoolboy wizard Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter movies.

Mr Murray played the role in all eight films between 2001 and 2011. The court heard that in total, he earned about £970,000.

Giving his ruling this afternoon at the conclusion of the bitter High Court spat, Mr Justice Michael Moriarty expressed his ‘regret’ over revelations that the former child star squandered about £1million on ‘cars, drink and girls’ in his teens.

The High Court judge ordered Mr Murray to pay Mr Brooks £210,000 - a 9 per cent reduction on the £230,000 the agent had sought in his civil action.

The judge also dismissed a counter-claim for more than £79,000 that the family said they paid to the Dublin-based Neil Brooks Management.

Judge Moriarty also ordered Mr Murray to pay the costs of the case against him.

The case was taken against Devon Murray, his taxi driver father Michael and his mother Fidelma.
