It's hard to believe how much time has passed since the first film of the Harry Potter franchise hit cinemas. That was Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone, depending on your location) way back in 2001, in what seems like another time now. When Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 closed out the series in 2011, fans were all but certain that they'd left the magical land of Harry Potter for the last time. How wrong they were. Audiences will go back to that world to follow the adventures of Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, due out in 2016. Of course, that's not going to be with Harry and the gang, but it is the same world, and frankly, the next best thing. It's the next step in a long journey for many young readers and film-goers (not to mention older ones). Along the way, however, a few members of that world have been lost. Despite the original film series ending recently and still being relatively young, there have been a number of actors who appeared in the series who've already passed away, some in key roles, and some in smaller parts. As recently as this past Christmas Day we lost another member of the Potter alumni. So with that in mind, lets look back at fifteen Harry Potter actors who are sadly no longer with us.
