Albus Dumbledore – Michael Gambon

In the final few Harry Potter films, Sir Michael John Gambon portrays Professor Albus Dumbledore. He nailed the legendarily powerful magician with a sharp mind and a good heart. The British-Irish actor can be seen in The King’s Speech, Fortitude, Judy, and Cordelia, so you can see what he looks like without the long white mane and beard. When he’s shaved, he appears completely different. He is now appearing in James and Lucia, a film about James Joyce.

Petunia Dursley – Fiona Shaw

Fiona Shaw, an Irish actress, portrays Aunt Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films. She masterfully provoked deep resentment by mistreating her nephew Harry Potter, whom she despised because he came from a magical world in which she could not participate. Her outstanding performances in Killing Eve, which earned her a BAFTA, and Fleabag earned her many new fans and two Emmy nods.
