20 Photos of Actors from the “Harry Potter” Saga During Filming and When They Were Young

For many, the saga of Harry Potter It’s a kind of watershed. Both the books and the movies represent a milestone in the minds and hearts of readers and viewers, not only for the plot, but also for the actors of the adaptations. However, today we will not talk about the young people who played the students of Hogwarts, but about the adult actors who gave life to the teachers, villains and parents in the saga, all of them with impressive careers, which surprise even more when checked from their youth.

O awesome.club collected 20 photos of actors from Harry Potter when they were much younger than in the movies. In some cases, it was a challenge to recognize them.

The character Snape, the potions teacher, was one of the best that the actor played throughout his career. A villain feared and loved at the same time. The author of the saga personally chose him to play the role.

Gambon played the headmaster of Hogwarts in six films, after the first actor who brought the character to life died. Michael said he didn’t read the books before writing the character; he considered only the script.

Thanks to the unforgettable character of teacher and witch she played in Harry Potterthe young audience got to know this incredible actress who has more than 60 years of career full of good films, in addition to many awards.

A villain of villains, Ralph looks unrecognizable behind the makeup and special effects. The actor has also played other evil characters over the course of his career, but Voldemort has managed to keep a lot of kids — and many adults — awake at night.

The captivating half-giant Hagrid was one of the most important roles in Robbie’s career, or at least the one that won him the affection of young audiences. J.K. Rowling, author of the saga, personally chose him to embody the character and even revealed to him some secrets from the books.

One of his last jobs was to play Dumbledore in the first two parts of the saga. Harris died of Hodgkin’s disease at age 72, a month before the second film was released.

Tim Burton’s muse did an impeccable job as a mad, evil witch. Her appearance on screen took our breath away, as with all the roles she played before and after the saga.

It’s impossible not to adore the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, who turned into a werewolf every full moon. One of the saddest scenes in the saga is when he dies with his wife at the hands of the Death Eaters.

The actor was able to perfectly convey the danger and human warmth of the character — even though this is a characteristic of his work as an actor, in general.

In his first appearances, the actor knew how to play goblins and elves. It was not what the author wanted. So, makeup artists gave her a more human appearance. In the fourth sequence, Davis appeared as conductor of the school orchestra, a character not in the book but worth including in the film.

The mother of Ron, Harry’s friend, and six other mischievous, red-haired children like her. Sweet and affectionate, but determined and brave. She is the favorite mother of thousands of fans of the saga.

The world remembers him as Potter’s despicable “Muggle” uncle. Richard was a great stage actor and even did a play with Daniel Radcliffe before he died in 2013.

She played Harry’s insufferable aunt, who made her life impossible, perhaps because deep down she wanted to be a witch. The actress has an impressive resume, both in film and theater.

What to say about this amazing amazing actress? Not only did she stand out for her role as a clueless teacher of divination (and even won an award for that work), she is remembered for countless films across all genres in which she has excelled.

The actor who played the Death Eater and father to Draco, looks almost unrecognizable without his long white hair. Evil and cynical, in the end, he helps Harry and his friends escape Voldemort. This villain has several awards in the world of acting, by the way, all very deserved.

The half-mad Auror, better known as “Mad-Eye”, at first glance is frightening for all the scars that deform his face, but he has a heart of gold. It is difficult to recognize the actor in other films, thanks to the impressive makeup used in the saga.

He played Ron’s father, the most famous role he played in the film world. In the saga, he was obsessed with “Muggle” artifacts, which he put to totally incorrect use.

Traitor and petty, he becomes a Death Eater and has a lot to do with the death of Harry’s parents. His role in the saga is one of the least beloved, although he has won everyone’s admiration for his great performance.

He owns the magic wand shop. He plays a key role in the saga, as he is the one who reveals the relationship between Harry’s scar and Voldemort. This great actor died in 2017, making it another big loss for the entertainment world.

Hogwarts’ grumpy caretaker is unforgettable. He’s not evil, he just has a really hard job chasing naughty students, especially the Weasley twins. David undoubtedly deserves applause for playing such a fun character.
