20 People You Didn't Know Were In A Harry Potter Film

1. Julian Glover

glover spider When you€™ve been a Bond villain (Kristatos in For Your Eyes Only), an adversary to Indiana Jones (Walter Donovan in the Last Crusade), an Imperial officer (General Veers in The Empire Strikes Back) and a recurring cast member on Game of Thrones (Grand Maester Pycelle), a small voice part as a giant spider probably isn€™t something you consider amongst your biggest career highlights. Nevertheless, Julian Glover played the role of Aragog, a creature once kept as a pet by Hagrid before being released into the Forbidden Forest, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Visited by Harry and Ron at Hagrid€™s behest, he attempts to kill the pair, though they escape from the grasp of his arachnid minions. In the books, Aragog dies in the Half Blood Prince, and his €˜funeral€™ is part of an important plot that sees Harry try and obtain information about horcruxes from Professor Slughorn. In the film adaptation, this storyline is featured, but Glover€™s vocals are not heard.
