For Vancouver actor Maddie Phillips, being a Harry Potter fan has paid off in unexpected ways.

“I know what it is to be a huge fan of something and to think that you know a character and feel strongly about them, and then as the story goes on, you understand why they’re the way that they are, and your feelings about them change,” she said.

Phillips plays Cate Dunlap, a young empath/telepath in the Prime Video superhero series Gen V. An offshoot of The Boys, one of the streamer’s most watched series, Gen V landed in the top 10 of Nielsen streaming originals during its premiere week. The show returned last week, when the Prime dropped the first three episodes of the second season on Sept 15. New episodes will debut weekly through Oct. 22.
