Hazel Douglas may not have been a household name, per se, but she was responsible for one of the most terrifying moments in all of Harry Potter history thanks to her role as Bathilda Bagshot in The Deathly Hallows.

Her creepy performance, which hinted the character's chilling secret perfectly in advance is incredibly memorable despite her short screen-time. And few images will imprint on young minds quite like her melting back to reveal Nagini within the deathly shell of Bagshot's body.

In a career spanning eight decades, the actor appeared in regular supporting roles on British television but was far more well known for her stage work. She died on September 8 2016, aged 92.
