Gilderoy Lockhart – Kenneth Branagh
Kenneth Branagh got anger from fans for his portrayal of the self-obsessed, pretentious novelist Gilderoy Lockhart, similar to what happened to the spell that had confused his head. Off-screen, co-star Daniel Radcliffe called Kenneth “really naughty,” mocking the young performers on set. The actor debuted in “Valkyrie” in 2008 and was later lauded for his portrayal of Laurence Olivier in “My Week with Marilyn” in 2011. Did you know he’s been a “Thor” fan since he was a kid? When he was chosen to helm the film adaptation, he was given the whole collection of Marvel Thor comics series as reference material for the character.

Horace Slughorn – Jim Broadbent
Imagine as a teenager entering the National Youth Theatre in London and emerging as one of the world’s most versatile actors. That concludes the Jim Broadbent story! He is well recognized for his depiction of the flamboyant Horace Slughorn in the “Harry Potter” series. But don’t limit Jim to being only a Hogwarts professor; he has a wide range. From his famous appearances in “Moulin Rouge!” and “The Iron Lady” to his scene-stealing performance in “The Lady in the Van,” Jim never fails to impress. Jim told The New York Times that he was approached for “an awful lot of charming old quirky grandad roles,” but he declined.
