User:Fbv65edel/List of Harry Potter cast members (after 7)
My personal hopes/wishes/guesses for what the featured list List of Harry Potter cast members will look like at the conclusion of the seventh film. This is by no means truth, just a fantasy of mine.
The list of Harry Potter cast members is a list of actors who voiced or portrayed characters appearing in the Harry Potter film series based on the book series by J. K. Rowling. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who have played and will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger in all the films, were virtually unknown when they were cast. Complementing them on screen are some of the most renowned actors of the United Kingdom and Ireland, including Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Richard Griffiths, Richard Harris, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters.[1][2] Seventeen actors have appeared as the same character in the first five films of the franchise.
Sometimes well-known British actors who did not appear in the series were asked in jest why they hadn't been cast;[2] Bill Nighy has said, "I joked with [director David Yates] that maybe now I wouldn't be the only actor in England who hadn't been in 'Harry Potter.'"[3] Jude Law has quipped, "Nobody's asked me. I was a bit too old for Harry."[4]
The list is sorted by film and character, as some characters have been portrayed by multiple actors.
Key
- (v) indicates the actor or actress lent only his or her voice for his or her film character.
- (y) indicates the actor or actress portrayed the role in a flashback scene or when the character was young.
- (f) indicates the actor or actress did not appear in any new footage for the film; footage from an earlier film or films was used.
- A grey cell (such as the one in the "Armando Dippet" row in the "Philosopher's Stone" column) indicates the character was not in the film adaptation.
Notes[edit]
- A Often, minor child parts – in this case, Harry as an infant – are played by twins or triplets to avoid overworking the children.[16][17] The given names of each of the Saunders triplets are unknown; they were credited in the film as "Saunders triplets".
- B Warwick Davis played Filius Flitwick in the first two films as an old dwarf-like man with gray hair. In preproduction for the third film, the producers told Davis there was no role for Flitwick, but that they would like to have him play somebody else, at least for a cameo. Davis played a much younger-looking man with black hair and a moustache who directed the choir at the Hogwarts Welcome Feast, and was credited as portraying "Wizard." During preproduction for the fourth film, director Mike Newell told Davis he wanted to keep his look from the last film, but make this the new look for Flitwick. Davis now considers the character he has played some relative of Flitwick,[12] though he is still credited as "Filius Flitwick".
- C A scene with Peeves was filmed for Philosopher's Stone, but ended up being cut from the theatrical version.[18][19]
- D Nigel is not a character from the books.
- E The character played by Ryan Nelson was billed as "Slightly Creepy Boy" when a promotional photo of Dumbledore's Army was released.[20] There has been no word from Warner Bros. whether there is a correlation to a named character from the books, or if his character's name is indeed "Slightly Creepy Boy."
