Career

Shefali Chowdhury played Harry Potter's Yule Ball date, Parvati Patil, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Shefali landed the coveted role of Parvati Patil whilst she was still a student in her final year at Waverley School in Birmingham. Her studies coincided with the shooting of the current installment of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where she reprised her role as Parvati Patil. Despite Parvati's relatively small role in the book, Chowdhury was able to reprise her role for film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She did not, however, appear in either part of the adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

She also appeared in an uncredited role in a Tamil film Kannathil Muthamittal.
