20 Best Performances In The Wizarding World Franchise

15. Dan Fogler - Jacob Kowalski

Harry Potter Voldemort
Warner Bros.

This American No-Maj is the most successful original character of the Fantastic Beasts films so far and an awful lot of this is down to Dan Fogler's excellent performance.

Fogler has absolutely stolen the show in both of the films with his delightful, heartfelt and utterly hilarious performance as this well-written comic relief character. Admittedly, he did feel shoe-horned in when it came to Crimes of Grindelwald, but it was very difficult to complain about that. More of Dan Fogler as Jacob could never be a bad thing.

All in all, whatever you think about the Fantastic Beasts films, it's very difficult to argue against Dan Fogler's superb work and as sceptical as most of us are about the upcoming Fantastic Beasts 3, it'll be great to see Jacob Kowalski back in action.
