Devon Murray's parents Michael and Fidelma Murray thought they'd never have children when he appeared, and hence became the apple of their eye. Devon is an only child. The family lives in a four-bedroom house in a small village near Dublin, where he can be near to his horses. He is an accomplished horse-rider and competes in show-jumping events all over Ireland. Besides which he enjoys rollerblading, skateboarding, computer games, quad biking and motorcross biking.
Devon was only 6 years of age when he was sent to the Billie Barry stage school, and in a period of two weeks he was given a Tesco television advertisement. Six months later, he was in his first ever movie - "This is My Father" (1998), acting alongside Aidan Quinn. Later he transferred to The National Performing Arts stage school which further strengthened and matured his acting abilities. He next appeared in "Angela's Ashes"(1999) and closely followed by a role in "Yesterday's Children"(2000) before finally landing up with the role of lovable Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter movies.
