Quirinus Quirrell – Ian Hart
Ian Hart has ventured far beyond Defense Against the Dark Arts, the guy who created the stuttering, turban-wearing Professor Quirinus Quirrell in the Harry Potter universe. Do you recall when Quirinus displayed the computer-generated image of Lord Voldemort behind his head? Yes, Ian’s voice was heard as well! Ian has now exchanged his shyness for much more active roles. If you found him fascinating in the Harry Potter world, you should see him in leading roles in TV shows like “The Responder,” “Blind Flight,” and “Eroica,” where he delves deeply into the life of Beethoven.

Mr. Ollivander – John Hurt
John Hurt’s alluring mix of quirkiness and mystery gave Mr. Ollivander, the wandmaker on London’s Diagon Alley South Side, an air of mystery. But this was only one amazing chapter in John’s career, which also included legendary parts in films like “Alien,” “The Elephant Man,” and even spy thrillers like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.” John would often quote himself, saying, “The wand chooses the wizard,” and viewers could sense the depth of knowledge and insight he infused into Ollivander’s enigmatic persona with each statement. Even though John passed away from cancer in 2017, his enchanted legacy as an incredibly talented actor lives on.
