20 Harry Potter Actors Who Are No Longer With Us

19. John Hurt - Ollivander

When John Hurt died on 25th January 2017, the world was robbed of one of the greats - the finest actor of all time, in the considered words of David Lynch.

He appeared in Doctor Who, Alien, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Harry Potter, proving himself a versatile star after stunning performances in the likes of I, Claudius and The Elephant Man. He was a chameleon, able to work just as well in high-concept sci-fi as he did in classical theatre, and no role seemed beyond him.

Such was his class that a minor role like Ollivander became completely compelling in his hands, and it's still a travesty that he was cut entirely from The Goblet Of Fire.
