Harry Potter fans will know Clémence Poésy as the actor who played Fleur Delacour, but here’s what other movies and TV shows she’s had roles in. French actress Clémence Poésy made her debut as Beauxbatons student Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and later reprised her role in the final two Harry Potter movies during which she married Bill Weasley and fought valiantly against Voldemort’s henchmen in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire was the actor’s first English-language film role, but before Clémence Poésy played Fleur Delacour she starred in the German drama Olga’s Summer and French comedy Welcome To The Roses. Pre-Goblet Of Fire, Poésy also played Mary, Queen of Scots in the BBC miniseries Gunpowder, Treason & Plot and had a smaller role in the 2005 apocalypse drama series Revelations. During the later noughties, she nabbed a main role as Natasha Rostova in a TV adaptation of War And Peace and appeared in a trio of critically acclaimed films – black comedy In Bruges, British horror Heartless and Danny Boyle’s true-life survival drama 127 Hours.
In 2010, Poésy had a four-episode stint in Gossip Girl as Chuck Bass’ love interest Eva Coupeau. A few years later, she landed a meatier TV role playing detective Elise Wassermann in the gritty crime drama The Tunnel and earned great reviews for her work. She took on a range of movie roles throughout the 2010s too – including playing Joan of Arc in The Silence Of Joan, starring in creepy British thriller The Ones Below and being directed by actor-filmmaker Stanley Tucci in 2017’s Final Portrait.
Clémence Poésy added another real-life role to her résumé in 2018 when she played French painter Françoise Gilot in the second season of National Geographic’s anthology series Genius. She followed that up by playing a fictional character named Emma in the 2020 Marcel Marceau biopic Resistance and had a small but key role as time travel scientist Barbara in Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending spy thriller Tenet that same year.
More recently, Clémence Poésy exercised her acting chops by playing Léonora in the French TV show En Thérapie – a drama set in a therapist’s office in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. The Fleur Delacour actress also had a cameo in the British comedy series Ten Percent playing a fictionalized version of herself and starred opposite Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston in Apple TV+’s gothic period drama The Essex Serpent.
