'Shadowhunters:' Fan-favourite warlock Harry Shum Jr.'s crazy Hollywood journey began with a high school dare

Harry's character, Magnus, is over four centuries old. But all that, his striking amber eyes and the fact that he's part demon, isn't what sets him, or Harry, apart

The name Harry Shum Jr. might remind almost everybody of something akin to the term 'steamy Malec romance', but that's not all about the 'Shadowhunters' actor. The Freeform's fantasy show has acquired one of the strongest fandoms all in just three years of its running. And while the show was abruptly canceled after three very successful seasons, those very fans are now fighting and campaigning to help their favorite show find a new home before its series finale, that is set to arrive in January 2019. For those wondering what exactly fans are so passionate about, the answer comes in the form of the unique, yet diversified cast of the show — of which Harry is a massive part.

Harry's character, Magnus, is the High Warlock of Brooklyn and over four centuries old. But all of that, and his striking amber eyes, along with the fact that he's part demon, isn't what sets him apart.
