We’re never quite sure which roles will be next for the former Potter cast, but it’s always something interesting. In this edition of Role Call, we find our favorite actors as busy as ever with a variety of roles: Ralph Fiennes, Domhnall Gleeson, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent, Warwick Davis, Dame Maggie Smith, Gary Oldman plus many others!
Dolores Jane Umbridge, known for her shockingly pink wardrobe, obsession with fluffy animals, and love of all things sugary and sweet, is considered to be one of the most hated characters in all of fiction. Despite her seemingly harmless appearance, many Harry Potter fans consider her to be more unlikable than Bellatrix Lestrange and even the Dark Lord himself. Why is it that a woman with no clear criminal history (during the duration of the books, that is) and no direct affiliation with the Death Eaters is so despised?
The popularity of our favorite Harry Potter actors often lead to new roles and projects that showcase just how talented they really are. In this edition of Role Call, we not only highlight some our favorites, but we also take a look at some upcoming projects from cast and crew who don’t always get the spotlight but definitely have what it takes to shine! This week’s edition includes Jon Campling, Brendan Gleeson, Helena Bonham Carter, Robert Pattinson, David Thewlis and others!
