If there is an entry on this list that should bring about celebration rather than sadness, it has got to be Margery Mason. The actress, who portrayed the Honeydukes Express lady in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, took over the role from a previous actress who left the film series - and she was 92 when the movie filmed! Mason had a full life that, besides acting into her 90s, included learning to scuba dive at the age of 81, swimming five times a week until she was 99, and making it all the way to triple digits. She passed away January 26th, 2014 aged 100. Mason is proof that you can lead an exciting, adventurous life no matter what your age. She also appeared in The Princess Bride and Pink Floyd's The Wall. With that longevity and excitement, maybe she was part wizard?
