"How time flies! Harry Potter star is now a father," a social media user commented. "So so so happy for them," another user wrote.

Darke (38) debuted her baby bump in a black zip-up hoodie that same month during a New York City walk with her partner. Daniel and Darke have been together since their meeting on the "Kill Your Darlings" set in 2012. Daniel was 12 when he was cast as the bespectacled boy wizard in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001. He went on to appear in all eight films based on the books written by JK Rowling. More recently, he played the lead role in 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story', for which he was nominated for a Bafta.
