9 Game Of Thrones Actors Who Were Also In Harry Potter

by James Hunt

1. David Bradley

Walder Frey, portrayed by David Bradley, can lay claim to being one of the most despised men in all of Westeros. Walder is, of course, the man responsible for orchestrating the Red Wedding, as revenge on Robb Stark for marrying someone else when betrothed to one of his daughters.

He shows absolutely no remorse or emotion of any sort for his actions, merely the belief that they were justified. However, while we're presented with the broken contract as the reason for this murder, perhaps the real reason is simply that he's so mad because he's a squib?

Thankfully he met his end at the point of Arya's blade at the climax of season 6.

Bradley also played caretaker Argus Filch in the Harry Potter series, appearing in all of the films with the exception of Death Hallows Part 1. In that he was a similarly deplorable figure, albeit one with far less power to wield. If only Thrones had included a scene of him finding out Robb was already married, and responding: "Oh dear, we are in trouble."
