'Harry Potter' actor Devon Murray sued by ex-agent

Devon Murray, who played the character of wizard Seamus Finnigan throughout the seasons of the hit franchise 'Harry Potter,' has been asked to drop out a heavy amount of cash.

The 27-year-old Irish actor had been sued by Neil Brooks, the agent who represented him when he got cast in his breakout childhood role and he appeared in Dublin's High Court on April 8 to know his fate, reports E! Online.

Brooks alleged that Murray and his family owed him 286,000 euros in unpaid commission fees. Though Justice Michael Moriarty agreed with the claim, he reportedly lowered the payment amount to 260,000 euros.

Later, Murray took to his Twitter handle and wrote, "It's amazing how one man can destroy mine and my parents life so easily. Never been as mad, crazy, scared in all my life. As a few of you know, I am currently being sued by my EX agent and will be in court all week."

Commenting on why the actor didn't clear of the agent's money, his mother Fidelma Murray said in court that her son had gone out drinking, taken out girls and bought cars, because that is what teenage boys do.

She also claimed that the family had fired Brooks because he had not done enough in their opinion to protect the star against bad publicity, particularly when photographs of him smoking on set as a child were spread around in the press.

Murray later seemed to poke fun at his mother's claims, tweeting, "DRINK!!! CARS!!! GIRLS!!! #FatherDevon.
