This week’s Dancing With The Stars trio episode brought together two former Harry Potter actors back together on the dance floor. Evanna Lynch brought in Scarlett Byrne as her guest dancer to join her and Keo Motsepe.
The trio danced a salsa to Little Mix’s “Black Magic.” The dance went off without a problem, although judge Len Goodman found plenty of things to criticize. He pointed out that the two best friends were not quite synced up, but he still said it was “well done.”

Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba both praised Lynch for continuing to get better each week.
“I’m so proud of her,” Lynch said of Byne after the dance. “She’s amazing. It’s very scary… we just swayed. It was awesome.”
Byrne said she has so much “admiration” for Lynch because she is always ready for a challenge.
All three judges gave them 8’s, so they ended up with a 24/30 score.
