Potter Actors Featured: Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson

Richard Curtis' Christmas rom-com Love Actually attempts to show us the different aspects of love through ten separate stories involving a variety of interlinked individuals whose paths cross at some stage over the course of the holiday season.

The ensemble cast includes many actors who have worked with Curtis on past projects, three of whom also appeared in the Harry Potter series. Hogwarts colleagues Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and Emma Thompson (Sybill Trelawney) play on-screen couple Harry and Karen in a cringe-worthy plot-thread that watches their marriage crash and burn when Harry gives Karen a CD for Christmas when she already knows that he bought an expensive necklace. Magic your way out of that one, Professor.

Meanwhile, rock legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a terrible Christmas version of Love Is All Around and watches astonished as it sails to number one. In a fashion unbefitting of a Minsiter for Magic, he celebrates by getting drunk and watching porn.
