Jessie Cave Recalled A "Horrible" Incident Where A Costume Director Grabbed Her Stomach After Opening Up About Weight Gain Insecurity During The "Harry Potter" Films

"Lavender Brown is conventionally pretty, no glasses, small," Jessie said. "By the time I went back to do the last film, I had gained a bit of weight and I wasn't that person anymore."

Last month, in an interview with the Independent, Jessie said her weight gain between the sixth and final films was simply a result of growing up — but when she returned, she was treated "like a different species."

"It was horrible," she recalled. "It was probably more me and my insecurity, knowing that I wasn’t fitting into the same size jeans, but it wasn’t a time where actresses were any bigger than a size eight. … I definitely felt invisible when I gained a little bit of weight. And since then, it's made me have weird issues with weight and work. It's so fucked up, but it's just how it is. Women have to deal with that all the time."

"Now I go into the costume fitting for any job and I'm terrified," Jessie said. "I'm prepared to be told something unkind.

"You're treated like a different type of thing; you're not somebody with feelings who has thought about what pants they're going to wear that day because they're going to be seen. Now when [costumers are] nice to me, and they are sensitive to how I may be feeling about my body, or that I may be breastfeeding or whatever, I almost cry."
