Harry Potter star 'banned' from convention because of her OnlyFans 'fetish' account

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave claimed she was banned from a fan convention because of her OnlyFans account. The actress, known for playing Lavender Brown in the final three movies of the wizarding franchise, signed up to the adult subscription-based website earlier this year.

She thought it was 'baffling' she was barred from the event as she claimed her content on the platform wasn't sexual but stars who filmed x-rated scenes are still welcome to take part in the convention. Taking to her Substack, she said: "I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OnlyFans.

"They explained it was because it’s a 'family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn.' This was baffling to me as some actors who do conventions (most actors, actually) have done TV and films in which they’ve done sex scenes and nudity. I’m just playing with my hair!"

Although she feared being 'cancelled' from the wizarding kingdom, she said it is a "different time" and she's ready for a new generation to take the reins.

She said: "I am not upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions.

"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.

"Excessively quirky one woman shows with puppets aren’t that lucrative, and some years, the money I got from signing photos of my face was the only real money I made. I am very lucky I got to do them. It’s time to move on and play some new characters."

Jessie announced in March she joined OnlyFans to offer fans "the best quality hair sounds" and "very sensual stuff". She later clarified her account wasn't sexual but noted it appealed to people with hair fetishes.

The Great Expectations actress said: "Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual.” She also shared her reasons for joining OnlyFans, revealing she decided to 'try for one year'.

She wrote on Substack: "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.”
