Amos Diggory – Jeff Rawle
If you thought Jeff Rawle was a one-hit wonder for his depiction of the bereaved father Amos Diggory in “Harry Potter,” think again! Jeff broadened his range of roles, winning the hearts of British audiences in series such as “Drop the Dead Donkey” and sleuthing his way through “Midsomer Murders.” The tearjerking parent took on a variety of roles that would make Boggart jealous. From “Hollyoaks” to the eerie “Lockwood & Co.,” to the offbeat drama series “Doc Martin,” Jeff keeps us wondering at every enchanting turn. So, what’s the bottom line? Jeff Rawle is no longer only the Wizarding World’s bereaved father.

Vernon Dursley – Richard Griffiths
Richard Griffiths, the actor who could make you hate him as the evil Uncle Vernon in the “Harry Potter” universe, could also make you fall in love with his succeeding characters. Richard rose to prominence as a result of his roles in classic films such as “Withnail and I.” Richard broke free from the constraints of typecasting and created wonderful, eccentric characters. Richard was a dynamic master of his trade, providing depth and complexity to every role he performed, whether it was swashbuckling in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” or captivating us with his comedic timing. Unfortunately, the performing world lost this treasure in 2013.
