10 Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Harry Potter Movies

7. Ian Brown

Ian Brown Harry Potter
Warner Bros.

He's not actually an actor, but lead singer of legendary British indie rock band The Stone Roses - Ian Brown - turns up in Prisoner Of Azkaban for a very brief cameo.

When Harry gets to the Leaky Cauldron after blowing his Uncle's sister up in a rage, he walks past a wizard reading A Brief History Of Time and absent-mindedly stirring a drink wordlessly. That wizard - who must be hugely powerful given what he's doing - is played by Brown.

He's not the only musician to get a cameo: Pulp's Jarvis Cocker turns up as frontman Myron Wagtail of The Weird Sisters in Goblet of Fire (along with another member of Pulp, two members of Radiohead, one of All Seeing I and one of Add N To X).
