“Harry Potter” star Devon Murray announces baby news

“Harry Potter” actor Devon Murray has become a father for the first time.

The 32-year-old, who played Seamus Finnigan in the wizarding film series, celebrated the birth of a baby boy with his girlfriend Shannon McCaffrey on Saturday.

He announced the news by sharing a photo of the child, Cooper Michael Murray, in a hospital bed with his 188,000 Instagram followers.

Murray wrote: “Yesterday 02/01/21 my life changed forever. Shannon gave birth to our beautiful little boy ‘Cooper Michael Murray’ weighing 6lbs 2oz. After a very long labor and a few scary minutes at the end they are both doing wonderfully now.

“I haven’t yet realized that we have our own little boy. I can’t wait to create the best memories with Shannon and Cooper as we start our little family. I am so excited for Shannon and she is my hero now.

“I am so proud of her and everything she has been through. I can’t wait to have you both back. It is so hard to have to leave you both. I will love you both until my last breath.”

The last update came from Murray in October, when he posted photos of an ultrasound showing her little boy holding his fist in front of his face.

He wrote: “I am speechless. How could I have helped create something so perfect with @smccaffreyquinn? He’s a little camera shy… for now.”

The couple announced in July that McCaffrey was pregnant.

Murray, from County Kildare, appeared in all eight Harry Potter films as Finnigan, the Irish half-blood wizard and Gryffindor student.
