Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
Now that we have reached book six the vast majority of the characters have been introduced, and in some cases killed off. More over with the films teetering on the half-way-point many of the characters have been or are currently being casted. Though the younger characters are for the most part new to the the level that the Harry Potter films. However, those playing the adult characters are for the most part veterans of the screen.
So I am sitting here watching TNT and the broadcast of The Patriot. And I keep saying to myself there is something blatantly obvious about the actor playing the british Calvary officer in the way he looked and acted, but most importantly spoke. So I go to wikipedia.org and low and behold my suspicions are correct, he is played by none other than Jason Isaacs, and then after further digging, I realize that in my utmost stupidity, he was also in Armageddon as Dr. Ronald Quincy. In the Patriot his character's name is Col. William Tavington. Any way here is my question, have you ever had one of these moments when you are watching a movie (live or animated) and you know you recognize one of the actors/actresses (by look or voice), who was also in one of the Harry Potter films, and you just can not put your finger on who they are, thus driving you crazy until you do figure out who that actor or actress is?

Re: One of those "Duh" moments in whatching movies.
Yes. In fact, a few nights ago, I was watching Disney's "The Road to El Dorado" and I was listening to Miguel (the blond guy from Spain with the English accent) and I thought he sounded kind of familiar. I brushed it off as just coincidence because I'd seen the movie a bunch of times before, but then I was watching it on Media Player on my computer and Media Player showed "Kenneth Branagh" as one of the actors in this movie. I thought I had misread the name, but I looked on IMDB and, sure enough, Kenneth Branagh played the voice of Miguel, as well as Professor Lockhart in CoS. By the way, Kenneth doesn't seem to have signed up for a part in OotP, so I guess the Hospital scene is out, or at least his part in it... unless they get someone else to play Lockhart for that movie.

Re: One of those "Duh" moments in whatching movies.
Hardly anybody has been listed for OOTP on IMDB yet. Just the trio and Jason Isaacs have "officially" signed up for the movie according to that site.

Re: One of those "Duh" moments in whatching movies.
I was watching the film "Galaxy Troopers", a sci-fi comedy once. This was after SS/PS was released. When Alan Rickman's character appeared, I realized who he was and I started squealing and pointing at the screen! I was like "That's Snape!"

ROFL. Rupert Grint in the Thunderpants trailer. I watched it for a minute and then when his name came up i was like, WHAT THE-!
He looked so nerdy  Also Arthur Weasley was in an advertisement. I only realized it was him at the end.

Re: Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
when I watch "Dragonheart" I know John Isaacs played on that movie right after his character came up. But when I saw King Einon he looked familiar. I wait 'till the credit and name "David Thewlis" came up. He played Lupin in PoA

Re: Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
A long time ago I saw "Sister Act" on T.V. and I noticed that the head nun was no other than the lady that played as Professor McGongle. I also noticed that she has played in a lot of other movies but I cant remember the names of them right now.

Re: Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
Oh, definitely, it's happened to me a lot when I didn't realise the same actors who are in the Harry Potter movies were also in a different movie. Mostly with Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith.

Re: Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
In "Chicken Run" Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) does the voice of one of the rats. He was also in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" as the attorney who is in charge of the kids.
Alan Rickman (Snape) has done lots of movies including Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves, and many many more.... Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) played the General in "Toys" with Robin Williams. He also plays the editor in "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". Gary Oldman was in "Bram Stoker's Dracula", "Batman Begins", "Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead", "The Fifth Element", "Lost in Space", and many more. Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge) was in BBC's "All Creatures Great and Small" series. And Maggie Smith's (McGonnagal's) resume is so long that you would be better off just to go to www.imdb.com/search and look her up!

As for Oldman, I knew him from the Fifth Element and I honestly can't see him as a good character ever since, and even as Sirius, even though I know how good he is, he creeps me out! And I actually knew Daniel Radcliffe before he started playing in HP. I remember when they were starting the casting, there was an article that said it was between Daniel Radcliffe and Haley Joel Osment (back when Spielberg was considered as director and American actors were being considered) and I can't remember who I though would be best for the role, but I knew Daniel from "David Copperfield", in which Maggie Smith played too. Oh and I saw Julie Walters in "Calendar Girls! Not quite the same type of movie as Harry Potter!

Re: Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies
well she is about to be a hp actor so i'm going to say Imelda Staunton. I love her as the nurse in Shakespeare in Love. Today I saw Nanny McPhee and she is the cook in that! I really like her. And Emma Thompson is in that too!! She was very good. I remember her in Much Ado About Nothing with Professor Lockhart, er Hamlet, er Kenneth Branagh. I wish Derek Jacobi would get a role in the movies, i just love him (not sure who he could possible be though
)

Ron sat on the edge of the grave and stripped off his shoes and socks, which he placed upon the elf's bare feet. Dean produced a woolen hat, which Harry placed carefully upon Dobby's head, muffling his batlike ears. ..."There," she said softly. "Now he could be sleeping."
