While Daniel Radcliffe has gone on to forge an illustrious career on the stage and screen, the fortunes of one of his Harry Potter co-stars have not been quite as lofty.
Black German shepherd Berry, known to millions of children around the world as Padfoot from Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban, is looking for a new home.
The ten-year-old mutt, who played the animal version of Gary Oldman's character Sirius Black and the godfather to Radcliffe's character Harry,can no longer be looked after by his owner, Paul Thompson.

Forgotten: Harry Potter star Berry is looking for a new home
Trained stuntman Mr Thompson, said he spends too much time away from home to give Berry the attention he deserves.
He told the Sunday Express he is also looking for a new home for Berry's life-long pal Porridge, a German Shepherd cross.
Porridge is also a star of the screen, with roles in The Bill and the TV adaptation of Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth but at the age of 13 the roles have now dried up.

Berry, the black German shepherd, as Padfoot
Mr Thompson, said: 'I found myself spending a lot of time away from home. The dogs needed more attention then I could give. It was a difficult decision to make but one I had to accept was best for the dogs.'
The 52-year-old from Elstree, Herts, said he had arranged for the pair, who have been together since they were puppies and cannot be separated, to be fostered by animal re-homing charity German Shepherd Dog Rescue but so far no one has offered them a home.
