Snape’s character, the Potions teacher, was one of the most crucial parts played by the actor throughout his career. He was a feared and beloved villain at the same time, and we are sure Rickman was perfect for the job: J.K. Rowling herself picked him personally for the role.

The first actor who brought Albus Dumbledore to life in the first 2 films passed away, so Gambon replaced him as the director of Hogwarts for the rest of the saga. Michael said he didn’t read the books before building up the character, he only studied the script.

Thanks to the unforgettable teacher and witch she played in Harry Potter, the juvenile audience got to know this gifted actress. Smith’s a woman with a successful 60-year career who produced excellent films and who was granted multiple awards.

He got to play the villain of villains. Behind all that makeup and those special effects, Ralph looks unrecognizable. The actor has also portrayed other evil characters in his career, but it was Voldemort who managed to make us feel scared of the dark again.

Hagrid, the endearing half-giant, was one of the most prominent roles in Robbie’s career, or, at least, the one that won the hearts of a younger audience. J. K. Rowling personally chose him to play the part and even went as far as revealing secrets about the story to him.

Playing Dumbledore in the first 2 parts of the saga were 2 of his last jobs. He died from Hodgkin’s disease at 72, a month before the second film’s premiere.

Tim Burton’s muse did a flawless job as a crazy and vile witch. Her interpretation on the screen could leave you breathless, just like any of the other performances she’s done before and after the saga.

It’s impossible to not adore the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who became a werewolf with every full moon. One of the saddest scenes in the film is the one where he dies along with his wife at the hands of Death Eaters.

The actor managed to seamlessly portray the danger and warmth that the character entailed (although that’s what he achieves in each part he plays).

The actor had portrayed an elf and a midget before, but that wasn’t what the book’s author wanted. So, makeup artists gave him a more human appearance. In the fourth film, he appeared as the conductor of the school’s orchestra, a role that wasn’t in the book, but that was worth adding to the film.

She was Ron’s mother and mom to 6 other naughty red-headed children. The actress was able to portray a sweet and loving, but determined and courageous, woman. Thousands of Harry Potter fans think of her as their favorite mom.

The world remembers him as Potter’s despicable muggle uncle, but in reality, he was a successful theater actor. Daniel Radcliffe got to act along with him once again on stage before he died in 2013.

She played Harry’s insufferable aunt, who made his life impossible. Some believe she was so mean because deep down inside of her, she also wanted to be a witch. The actress has had a remarkable career, both in film and in the theater.

There are so many things to say about this extraordinary actress. Not only did she stand out for her role as the clueless professor of Divination (in fact, she won an award for this part), but she will also be remembered for her countless films in all genres, in which she, of course, is the star.

The actor portrayed the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy’s father. He looks almost unrecognizable without his long white hair. He was evil and cynical, but in the end, he helps Harry and his friends escape from Voldemort. This “villain” has gathered numerous awards throughout his acting career, all of which he deserved.

The somewhat crazy Alastor, better known as “Mad-Eye Moody,” is scary at first sight because of all the scars that disfigure his face, but this facade hides a heart of gold. It’s hard to recognize the actor in other films after the elaborate makeup he wore in the Harry Potter movies.

He played Ron’s father, which was the most celebrated role he played for cinema. In the saga, he was obsessed with “muggle” objects, which he always used improperly.

The actor gave life to Peter Pettigrew, a traitor and a wretch. He was involved in the deaths of Harry’s parents and later on became a Death Eater. His role in the saga is one of the most despised, although he won everyone’s admiration for his amazing performance.

Ollivander is the magic wands shop owner. His character plays a fundamental role in the story, since he’s the one who reveals the scary truth behind the connection between Harry’s scar and Voldemort. The great artist who portrayed him died in 2017, which meant a huge loss for the film industry.

Hogwarts’s watchman’s mood is unforgettable. He’s not wicked, he just has the unsavory job of chasing mischievous students, the Weasley twins, for the most part. Without a doubt, he deserves a round of applause for having accomplished such a cool character.
