'Twilight' Vamp Robert Pattinson's 'Harry Potter' Past

 

Before Robert Pattinson was the mysterious Edward Cullen in 'Twilight,' he played a pivotal role in two 'Harry Potter' movies. Click here for his 2005 ET interview!

Robert played Quiddich captain and Triwizard Tournament contender Cedric Diggory in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' and 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' the latter in which he comes to an untimely end at the hands of Voldemort.

When asked about his thoughts of becoming a teen idol, he laughs, "I think about it all the time! No, I don't -- it's impossible to think what it's going to be like, because I've never been hugely popular or anything in my life, so it's going to be weird. I hope I get a bit of an ego afterwards!"

In 'Twilight,' Robert plays a benevolent vampire who falls for and comes to protect a beautiful teen mortal.
