The period drama, based on Julia Quinn's series of nine novels set in London between the years of 1813 and 1827, follows the drama based around the Bridgerton family.

It has received rave reviews and many viewers couldn't help but comment on the fact some of the stars are very easy on the eye – including one actor who sent fans into a frenzy after seductively licking a spoon.

Some of them also starred in Harry Potter when they were a lot younger – have you managed to spot them?

Just in case you haven't, let's have a look at them….

Regé-Jean Page

Yes, to our amazement hunky Rege-Jean, 31, who plays Simon Basset in the popular Netflix show, had a small part in one of the Harry Potter movies.

The actor – who is most well-known for his role as the Duke of Hastings – played a small part in the first instalment of the Deathly Hallows 11 years ago.

If you cast your minds back to the year of 2010 when the blockbuster premiered, you may remember his brief stint in the show alongside actress Emma Watson.

During his short but sweet three second cameo, his character is a guest at Bill Weasley and Fleur Celacour's wedding and is seen standing next to Hermione Granger.
