Harry Potter fans on social media may be familiar with this meme, which first appeared online in early 2012

Unfortunately, as many fans have been quick to point out, it isn't true. In the first film, Baby Harry Potter was played by the Saunders triplets.

The triplets, two boys and a girl, are credited as a single actor. Their first names are never given.

And according to IMDB, in the epilogue of The Deathly Hallows Part 2, Harry Potter's son, Albus Severus Potter, is played by actor Arthur Bowen

Not only that, but the baby pictured in the viral meme is actually Toby Papworth, who played Baby Harry Potter in The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, not the Saunders triplets

Also, Deathly Hallows is book 7, but films 7 and 8. So it should be "in Harry Potter 8".
