Another character who had a very small role in the development of the story of Harry Potter was Luna’s father, Xenophilius Lovegood. Still, this character conveyed a mysterious and extravagant aura that drew everyone’s attention the minute he appeared on the screen. Something you might not know about actor Rhys Ifans is that he was born in Haverfordwest and his mother tongue is Welsh. He actually decided to use the Welsh spelling to write his last name Evans as Ifans, for his stage name. After Harry Potter, he appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man, among other movies.
