The Harry Potter crew is certainly all grown up now, and they’re making completely different kinds of magic these days—some in more unique ways than others. I wasn’t expecting to find out that Ron Weasley’s first girlfriend was on OnlyFans while scrolling on a Monday morning, but that is exactly what happened. Jessie Cave, known as Lavender Brown to Potterheads, has traded broomsticks for brushes. She’s launched an OnlyFans account dedicated to… her hair.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Quick refresher for those of us who haven’t thought about Lavender Brown since she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts: Lavender was one of Ron, Harry, and Hermione’s fellow Gryffindors. She was also Ron’s first serious love interest in the series, and even back then, Lavender’s hair was iconic. The character was played by actress Jessie Cave, who did a phenomenal job of bringing the lovesick teenage girl to life. Beyond the wizarding world, Cave has had a successful career as an artist, comedian, and writer.
Her latest move shows that she’s still in tune with the ebbs and flows of pop culture, and she’s figured out that ASMR is a growing niche with plenty of room for her and her tresses. She’s started a rather unique OnlyFans page—yes, even for OnlyFans—dedicated to her curly locks. She’s not creating Harry Potter fan fetish content—thank god. She is, however, catering to a particular kind of fetish by capturing content that features her long hair being flipped in slow motion, her hands brushing her hair, slowly braiding her tresses… the list goes on. If you didn’t know that hair fetishes are a thing, sorry to be the one to ruin that for you. Cave has promised that while she might be sensual, she has zero interest in being sexual on her page. The closest she’ll be getting to titillating content for those of us who don’t get a hard-on at watching someone brush their hair is maybe recording herself brushing out the tangles in her knickers.
According to Cave, she feels that this is a way of empowering herself and embracing her own natural beauty. She also enjoys having control over her own content rather than waiting for gossip magazines to decide it’s time to poke their noses into whatever she’s ordered for brunch this week. The fandom may be aghast, but it’s 2025. Life is expensive, and Jessie’s got bills to pay.
So what are the rest of the graduated Hogwarts students up to? Cave isn’t the first former wizard to throw the world for a loop. Daniel Radcliffe is fiercely devoted to live theatre, weird indie projects that make him happy, and continuing to try and convince people that he and Elijah Wood are not the same person. Tom Felton is still thoroughly enjoying showing up at Comic-Cons and signing autographs as Draco Malfoy. And Emma Watson? Well, she’s not really up to much—just being a UN ambassador.
She may have once been the girl clinging to Ron Weasley’s robes, but now she’s happily embracing a whole new fanbase as herself. Whether you find her pivot fascinating, bizarre, or just another case of the internet being the internet, one thing’s for certain: Her days at Hogwarts may be history, but her hair flips? That’s where the real magic’s at.
