Peter Pettigrew, better known in the books and the movies as Scabbers, was an animago capable of turning into a rat. This strange ability allowed him to pretend to be Ron Weasley’s pet for years. This character is remembered as the faithful servant of He-who-can’t-be-named for a long time. Despite being diagnosed with leukemia in 1996, actor Timothy Spall has continued his career in film and television. Some of his latest projects include movies like It Snows in Benidorm and Nick Park’s animated movie Early Man.
