Dozens of actors from the United Kingdom and Ireland portrayed or voiced characters appearing in the Harry Potter film series based on the book series by J. K. Rowling. In all the films, Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter, Rupert Grint played Ron Weasley and Emma Watson played Hermione Granger.
- Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Like the titular Boy Who Lived, fame was thrust on Daniel Radcliffe at a young age when he appeared in the BBC’s 1999 adaptation of David Copperfield.
- Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. Emma Watson dazzled the casting directors with her confidence when she auditioned for the role of Hermione. While all of the main trio were widely praised for their roles in the franchise’s early days, Watson bore the brunt of the critical acclaim, even winning the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress.
- Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. Rupert Grint effortlessly captured the easy-going charm of Harry Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley. Grint’s path to Potter was particularly eccentric; he submitted a rap video to the casting team after seeing a report about the Potter movies on Newsround.
- Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. Michael Gambon replaced Richard Harris as Dumbledore after Harris’s death in 2002. His first Potter film was Prisoner of Azkaban, but it was far from his first time on the silver screen.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
- Albus Dumbledore – Michael Gambon. An actor like Michael Gambon needs no introduction. He joined the Harry Potter film series with Prisoner of Azkaban after the untimely death of the original Dumbledore actor Richard Harris.
- Severus Snape – Alan Rickman. Rickman unfortunately passed away in 2016 at the age of 69. The actor had a huge career outside of the Harry Potter film series, starring in well-known films like Die Hard, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Love Actually.
- Professor McGonagoll – Maggie Smith. The actress who played Dumbledore’s right-hand man has slowed down her Hollywood career after Harry Potter. Still, she’s had some big roles: She co-starred in the Downton Abbey TV series as the hilarious Violet Crawley, and will appear in the upcoming movie.
- Lord Voldemort – Ralph Fiennes. Ralph Fiennes was a very established actor before the Harry Potter films, so naturally, that has continued since the series wrapped.
The release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) was Emma's cinematic screen debut. The film broke records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings and was the highest-grossing film of 2001. Critics praised the film and the performances of the three leading young actors.
