Harry Potter actress announces she is joining OnlyFans

She will use the money to pay off her debts

The star informed followers what they can expect from her on the app and website which is most commonly used by models selling explicit content including Mia Khalifa, Bella Thorne, Bhad Bhabie and Mia Malkova.

The site has boomed in popularity since the Covid pandemic when people were stuck inside with nothing else to do.

It brings in a combined $1.3 billion revenue a year, shared between creators and the platform, which takes a 20 percent cut of subscription fees.

Jessie Cave starred in the film series, playing Ron Weasley's girlfriend Lavender Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well as Deathly Hallows part one and two.

The 37-year-old is still acting and performing and has had roles in several TV shows since the Harry Potter series wrapped in 2011.

She warned fans not to expect any sexual content, instead she's choosing to focus on fetish content.

Her plans for the platform aren't permanent either, saying she only plans to stay on OnlyFans for around one year.

Cave said on her Before We Break Up Again podcast: "I’m launching an OnlyFans, it’s not a sexual one. It’s a fetish.

"Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual... I'm not putting my boobs out."

She added: "This is entirely for hair based content. It's very much geared towards people who have an interested or fetish with hair.

"I do a lot of videos with my hair on Instagram and I have now for a while, and I just noticed that there's a lot of... it's never dirty comments but I do get lots of interest in the hair thing. I just thought f**k it I'm going to do something that is very niche."

Cave said it has been 'liberating and empowering' after spending her adult years as a 'very straight, prim actress'.

"This is very much a way of me saying, 'okay, I'm doing something that is not normal, this is weird and a bit kinky'," she said.

She said the money she makes will be used to pay off her debts as well as renovate her house, including getting a new roof.
