Irish actor in Harry Potter films must pay agent €260k

An actor who played the role of an Irish student in the Harry Potter film series must pay €260,000 in commission fees due to his former agent, the High Court has ruled.

Devon Murray, who the court heard earned more than a million euro and spent money on drink, cars, and women, said after the case he also spent it on horses and property “but the arse fell out of that. It wasn’t all women, cars and drink,” he said.

He was “a completely naive child” when he entered the agreement with his former agent Neil Brooks, he said.
