Alan Rickman’s portrayal of Severus Snape is widely regarded as the best-played role in the entire Harry Potter franchise. Rickman was outstanding throughout the franchise in all eight movies. Sadly, the outstanding actor died in 2016 after battling pancreatic cancer. He never revealed his illness to the public, only to his closest friends and fami...
Alfred Burke had a minor role in ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.’ He appeared in a flashback as Armando Dippet, the headmaster of Hogwarts, while Albus Dumbledore was still a professor, and Tom Riddle was still a student. 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...
Dave Legeno’s death was tragic and way too early. In 2014, Legeno went hiking across Death Valley and probably got lost. Other hikers found his body, as the actor perished from the consequences of insatiable heat and dehydration. Legeno was 50 at the time of his passing. He played Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf in the last three movies of the ‘Harry P...

Deadman passed away in 2014 after complications stemming from his diabetes. The actor was 74 years old at the time. Besides ‘The Sorcerer’s Stone,’ De...
If you wanted to get into the Gryffindor Common Room, you had to go through the portrait of The Fat Lady, giving her the password: Caput Draconis. 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. Sykes played Frank Bryce, the Riddle family gardener, appearing only for a few minutes in the ‘Goblet of Fire’ before being killed by the Dark Lord. The actor died in 2012, at age 89, after nu...
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...
Another sudden, tragic death of a Harry Potter cast member happened in April of 2021 when the family of Helen McCrory announced the actress passed away after a long, hard-fought battle with cancer. McCrory was 52 when she died but had already managed to leave a spectacular acting career behind her. Helen played Narcissa Malfoy, Draco’s mother, and ...
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Jimmy Gardner’s role was very short and minor but incredibly amusing and likable. Jimmy played Ernie Prang, the driver of the double-decker Knight Bus with huge glasses, driving like a madman. Known for his role in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Frenzy’ in 1972, ‘Finding Neverland’ with Johnny Depp in 2004 etc., Ga...
