Kelly played Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, who found the Ravenclaw Hogwarts house.
When Harry is looking for Rowena Ravenclaw’s diadem, one of the seven horcruxes created by Voldemort to keep his soul safe, he approaches Helena Ravenclaw’s ghost for assistance.
In an attempt to get him to leave, she tells him that she has already been questioned about its location by another person.
But once Harry tells Helena that he is going to destroy it, she eventually informs him that the horcrux is ‘in the location where it is hidden,’ aka the room of requirement.
Fans took to Twitter to express their joy in figuring out the connection.
‘OMG HELENA RAVENCLAW IS BENT COPPER JO DAVIDSON,’ one eager Twitter user penned.

Kelly is currently keeping viewers on the edge of their seat as Joanne in the popular BBC drama.
