Sweeney Todd & 9 Other Movies With Multiple Harry Potter Actors
The cast of Harry Potter is an absolutely incredible one, with the series bringing together countless brilliant actors and actresses to tell the story. While some of the cast have become known for their roles in the wizarding world, many of the actors have also had some other huge roles throughout their lifetime.
Because so many of the actors are incredibly talented, it is no surprise that the Harry Potter franchise isn't the only time they've shared the screen. There have been countless movies where actors from the franchise have been cast together, bringing their incredible talents to different projects.
10 Sweeney Todd (2007)
Sweeney Todd is a gripping and dark musical that tells the tale of the infamous barber as he seeks revenge on those who wronged him in the past. While the lead role is played by Johnny Depp (who is actually part of the Magical Beasts franchise), the movie happens to feature three actors from the Harry Potter cast.
Helena Bonham Carter takes on one of the lead roles as Mrs. Lovett, the pie maker, meanwhile, Alan Rickman also is involved, with the Professor Snape actor being the main antagonist, Jude Turpin. He has Beadle Bamford by his side throughout the movie, and that role is also taken on by a Harry Potter star, Timothy Spall, who plays Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter.
9 Love Actually (2003)
Speaking of Alan Rickman, Sweeney Todd isn't the only time he has worked alongside one of his Harry Potter co-stars. In Love Actually, Rickman takes on the role of Harry, who is married to Karen. Their story is one of the most emotional in the movie, with Harry starting the process of having an affair, only for his wife to find out.
Emma is of course played by Emma Thompson, who just so happens to be part of the Harry Potter world. Much like Rickman, she takes on the role of one of the Hogwarts Professors, as she plays the very eccentric, Professor Trelawney.
8 Arthur Christmas (2011)
Another Christmas movie that just so happens to feature multiple Harry Potter actors is Arthur Christmas. Of course, this movie is animated, therefore t is only the voices that appear, but the cast does have multiple stars from the wizarding world.
Jim Broadbent plays the voice of Santa, and he is best known as Horace Slughorn, while his wife is played by Imelda Staunton, who is Dolores Umbridge. On top of that, Rufus Scrimgeour'ss actor, Bill Nighy is the voice of Grandsanta, and even Rubeus Hagrid actor, Robbie Coltrane has a supporting role as he voices the Lead Elf.
7 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Even in the MCU, several Harry Potter actors have been brought together in the same cast. In Captain America: The First Avenger, it doesn't take long for one of them to pop up, as David Bradley is shown, and killed as he tries to stop Red Skull from getting the Tesseract.
Of course, Bradley is well-known for playing Argus Filch, but someone who is less known for his Harry Potter work is Toby Jones, who is also in The First Avenger. That's because he isn't shown physically in Harry Potter, as he plays the voice of Dobby, while in the MCU, he is Arnim Zola.
6 Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
Bridget Jones's Diary is one of the best romantic comedies of all time with this movie being absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Two of the funniest characters in the movie are Bridget's parents, both of which are constantly trying to steer Bridget in a polite manner.
However, these characters will be well known to Harry Potter fans, as Madam Pomfrey (Gemma Jones) and Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent). But they're not the only Harry Potter influences on the movie, as one of Bridget's friends, Jude, just so happens to be Moaning Mrytle herself, Shirley Henderson.
5 The Omen (2006)
The Harry Potter cast has come together in a far more serious and scary movie as well, with several members of the cast being involved in The Omen. This well-known horror movie features Predrag Bjelac as the Priest, who is known to Potter fans as Igor Karkaroff.
He is joined by Remus Lupin actor, David Thewlis who plays Keith Jennings, as well as another Harry Potter hero in Albus Dumbledore actor, Michael Gambon, who plays the character of Bugenhagen in this scary movie.
4 My Week With Marilyn (2011)
This movie which, as the title suggests, is all about Marilyn Monroe, and Colin Clark's time with her features an array of actors from the Harry Potter franchise. Emma Watson stars in this one as Mariyln's wardrobe assistant, while Kenneth Branagh, who is known for being Gilderoy Lockhart takes on the role of Laurence Olivier.
Interestingly, he actually replaced another Harry Potter actor, Ralph Fiennes, due to schedule issues. Toby Jones and Zoe Wanamaker (Dobby and Madam Hooch) also appeared in this movie as well, giving the cast a familiar feel.
3 Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a gripping spy thriller that is set in the 1970s during the Cold War, which sees Gary Oldman take on the lead role of George Smiley. Of course, Oldman is well-known for his work within the Harry Potter franchise by playing Sirius Black.
He is joined by two other Harry Potter actors in this movie though, with Ciarán Hinds playing Roy Bland, and Toby Jones being Percy Alleline. They're known for playing the roles of Aberforth Dumbledore and Dobby, respectively
2 The King's Speech (2010)
The King's Speech is an incredibly moving and emotional story that audiences absolutely loved. While it is Colin Firth that is the lead role here that people remember, the movie does feature three Harry Potter stars alongside him.
Helena Bonham Carter takes on the role of Queen Elizabeth within this movie, while Albus Dumbledore himself, Michael Gambon plays King George V. Timothy Spall, who, again, plays Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter also takes on the role of Winston Churchill.
1 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a very fun movie, with an amazing ensemble cast, that just so happens to feature a couple of Harry Potter stars. Both Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith are involved in this cast, and they're both a part of Harry Potter as well.
Nighy only has a small role as Rufus Scrimgeour, whereas Maggie Smith has one of the most important roles as she plays Professor Minerva McGonagall, who is one of the most well-respected members of the Hogwarts staff, and one of the most powerful witches in the franchise.
