In The Witcher, Anna Shaffer plays Triss Merigold, a Temerian sorceress who looks to Geralt to help her cure the princess of Temeria, and asks him to stay with her, which he refuses, telling her that she deserves better.

WATCH: Have you watched season two yet?

While fans adore Triss on the show, Anna's character in Harry Potter had a slightly different reception. In the final three films, Half Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows part I and II, Anna plays Romilda Vane, a classmate of Harry, Ron and Hermione's who has a crush on Harry, and spikes a box of chocolates with love potion, which Ron accidentally eats.

Did you recognise her?

Speaking about Anna's appearance in the series, one person wrote: "I'm in love with Romilda Vane... *cough* Triss!!" Another person added: "Just found out that the actress of Triss in #TheWitcher was also Romilda Vane in Harry Potter." A third person tweeted: "The moment when I realised Triss is Romilda Vane and why I kept looking at her like this chick is familiar."
