Harry Potter – Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe became Harry Potter when he was 11 years old, and his life was permanently transformed. The role would bring him fame and wealth, but it would also bring him criticism. His acting in the third film was condemned as “wooden” and “bland” as a child, but by the fifth film, he was earning prizes. Radcliffe has since played a variety of roles, including horror sci-fi Victor Frankenstein and comedy-drama Swiss Army Man, proving himself to be a versatile actor.

Narcissa Malfoy – Helen McCrory

British actress Helen Elizabeth McCrory, like Robbie Coltrane, received an OBE. She’s also appeared in a James Bond film. In the final three Harry Potter films, McCrory plays the supporting character Narcissa Malfoy. Her performance as Polly Gray in Peaky Blinders, however, has earned her critical accolades. She’s also appeared in films such as The Queen, The Special Relationship, Charlotte Gray, Fearless, and MotherFatherSon. McCrory is now raising almost $1 million for a food charity in preparation for the 2020 pandemic.
