It was Burke’s final role and the one he’s probably the best-known for. The actor died in 2011 when he was 92 years ol...

The portrait loved to sing very high-pitched, and the fantastic actress who played the role was Elizabeth Spriggs. Spriggs sadly passed away in 2008, aged 78. Although the actress planned countless roles...
Eric Sykes’ role in Harry Potter was minuscule but served a great purpose to show just how ruthless and dangerous Lord Voldemort will be later in the series.

Hazel Douglas also had a minor role, appearing as Bathilda Bagshot in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One.’ Bagshot was the author of the book called A ‘History of Magic.’ Douglas landed the role well in her 80s, but that was probably the role everybody will remember the great actress by. Douglas died in 2016 when she was 92 years old. H...

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Jimmy Gardner’s role was very short and minor but incredibly amusing and likable.
