Margot Robbie had no idea her husband was in Harry Potter despite being obsessed
Harry Potter super-fan Margot Robbie had no idea her husband featured in the franchise - and would have married him sooner if she'd known.
The Barbie actor is married to film producer Tom Ackerley, whom she met on the set of war drama Suite Francaise back in 2013.
After tying the knot in 2016, Robbie was completely unaware of the wizardry that was about to unfold.

Robbie - who had previously described herself as the 'ultimate single gal' - was unaware how her magical relationship with Ackerley was going to unfold.
"The idea of relationships made me want to vomit," she told Vogue in 2016.
"And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long.
"I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back.
"Don't make it weird, Margot.
"Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him.
"And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together.'
"This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before."
And their relationship made even more sense after they got married.
Robbie told The Graham Norton Show in 2020 that she was obsessed with the Potter franchise that she even 'lied to the optometrist' so that she could have glasses like Harry Potter - despite having perfect vision.
She went on to reveal that her husband had actually appeared in some of the Harry Potter films - a fact he didn't reveal to her until after they were married.
"My husband is in the Harry Potter movies," an ecstatic Robbie told Norton.
"I know, I was like, 'Had you told me sooner we would've been married a lot sooner.'"
She continued: "But he was an extra when he was a little kid - he was one of the Slytherin extras when Draco pushes some kids out of the way to see Buckbeak in the third book.
"He pushes my husband out of the way."
Now, we don't know how Robbie is going to feel about this, but according to a new report from Variety, Barbie's box office in the UK has reached £78.2 million - surpassing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, another Warner Bros. film, which ended its UK run at £73.1 million.
She is well and truly a Potter girl, in a Barbie world.
