Cornelius Fudge – Robert Hardy
Robert Hardy’s career was nothing short of magical, characterized by a remarkable versatility that allowed him to bring depth to roles as diverse as the ineffectual Cornelius Fudge in the wizardry universe to the indomitable Winston Churchill in “Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years.” Later parts for the actor allowed him to take on gravitas and complexity. From playing historical people to starring in films like “All Creatures Great and Small,” Robert’s post-Potter career brought him to places as serious and tragic as Cornelius was incompetent and hilarious. Hardy died in 2017, yet his legacy lives on.

Rufus Scrimgeour – Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy has captivated fans long after his stern portrayal as Rufus Scrimgeour in the “Harry Potter” series by swapping his Ministerial robes for a diverse range of personas. While you may remember Bill for his strict enforcement of wizarding regulations, his duties since have been far from uniform. His soulful portrayal in “About Time” and his devious charm in “Turks & Caicos” demonstrate the award-winning actor’s versatility. He has been stealing moments in the TV series “Living” as a dying council worker seeking purpose, demonstrating yet another aspect of his extraordinary range.
