20 Best Performances In The Wizarding World Franchise

9. Mark Williams And Julie Walters - Arthur And Molly Weasley

Harry Potter Voldemort
Warner Bros.

Mark Williams and Dame Julie Walters were truly wonderful as Arthur and Molly Weasley respectively and, frankly, they were two of the coolest on-screen parents in recent memory.

As well as being exceptionally likeable on-screen, both of these actors were perfect for the characters. Mark Williams had Arthur Weasley's eccentric, understated nature while Julie Walters brought the larger-than-life, loving maternal energy Molly Weasley always needed.

As well as this, Molly Weasley's killing of Bellatrix Lestrange and Julie Walters' delivery of "Not my daughter, you b**ch!" is one of the most badass villain defeat scenes of the last decade.

It's nigh-on impossible to imagine anyone else playing the Weasley parents, since these two were so good in the part.
