What You Didn't Know About Freya Allan From The Witcher

Freya Allan was born in 2001 in Oxfordshire County, England, where she also grew up. For her education, Allan went to Headington School, an all-girls institution located in Oxford, which is a combination day and boarding school. She then attended the National Film and Television School to study acting. However, Allan was not the first famous actress to walk the halls of Headington School, as Emma Watson, best known for her work in the "Harry Potter" franchise, also studied there before her.

Watson was born in Paris in 1990 but moved to England with her mother when she was 5. Watson's mother settled in Oxfordshire County where Watson went to the Dragon School — also a combination day and boarding school — in Oxford. The institution accepts children up to 13 years old, so when her time there came to an end, Watson went on to Headington, which she attended while also shooting the "Harry Potter" films.

This is a particularly striking detail, as both Allan and Watson not only went on to become famous actresses, but both had their breakout roles in fantasy franchises. Watson was as crucial to the "Harry Potter" films as Allan is to "The Witcher," with both the film franchise and the TV show unimaginable without Hermione Granger or Ciri, respectively. Having already produced two stars of fantasy franchises, it's entirely possible that a third such female star will emerge from Headington soon. Until then, viewers can continue to watch Allan reprise the role of Ciri when "The Witcher" returns for its second season on Netflix.
