Oct. 20 2016, Published 10:01 a.m. ET
Harry Potter actor Devon Murray lived a suicidal nightmare that was anything but magical!
Murray, 27, played firebug Hogwarts student Seamus Finnigan in the movie series before plunging into a spiral of depression that haunted him for years.
"My self-confidence and everything had come to an all-time low," he confessed.
"Harry Potter was the best thing in my life, but in a sense turned into the worst times of my life."

Murray even considered suicide in April — just after a judge ordered him to pay nearly $280,000 to his old agent.
"I was a mess," he said. "I'd felt like I let down my parents, that I couldn't do anything right, I was pointless, I was a disaster."
After finally confiding in his parents, he's gotten help.
"Open up, talk to people!" Devon urged.
