These ‘Harry Potter’ Actors Are Actually Parents – And You Didn’t Know It

Actors James and Oliver Phelps, who played the Weasley twins, are arguably the most famous sibling pair in the cast of the iconic Harry Potter saga. But these family contracts on the construction site were by no means exhausted. Here are three more parent pairs from the film’s cast – we’re sure you’ll be surprised.

Ralph Fiennes and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin

The main antagonist of the saga, the dark Lord Voldemort, is played by five different actors in the film series. The most famous, of course, is Ralph Fiennes, who played the character as an adult. But few people know that Fiennes shares the image of the evil wizard with his own nephew Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, who in the sixth film played the very young 11-year-old Tom Riddle from Dumbledore’s memoir.

The fact that his grandfather starred in Harry Potter, the performer of the role of Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton, spoke many years after the filming during a live broadcast with fans on social networks. The actor hosted an online movie viewing with fans and excitedly showed off his on-screen relative. The actor’s grandfather, Nigel Anstey, makes a brief appearance at the head table in the scene where Harry, Malfoy and the other first years enter the Great Hall for the first time in Harry Potter and the School of wizards. He can also be seen as appearing in a number of other scenes, such as when Professor Quirrell talks about the troll in the dungeon and during the first Quidditch match.

At the same time, Felton’s grandfather is not an actor. In real life, he is a researcher and geophysicist. He has numerous awards and published papers to his name, and the European Association of Geophysicists and Engineers even has an annual award named after him.

Brendan and Domhnall Gleason

In life, father and son, and in Harry Potter – Alastor Moody and Bill Weasley. By the way, Brendan Gleeson has only four sons, two of whom followed in his footsteps and continued the acting dynasty. So, in addition to Donal, Bryn Gleason also acts in films.

By the way, Donal first thought about giving up the role in Harry Potter – he did not want to play with his father. But in the end, he changed his mind.
