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...

He played Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf in the last three movies of the ‘Harry P...

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.

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...
