9 Game Of Thrones Actors Who Were Also In Harry Potter

6. Ralph Ineson

Dagmer Clefjaw was a recurring character throughout the second season of Game of Thrones, an ironborn raider and reaver who was a loyal supporter of House Greyjoy. He's the one who talks Theon into attacking Torrhen's Square in order to leave Winterfell open for assault, and encourages him to execute Ser Rodrik Cassel.

However, he turns against him under the threat of House Bolton, knocking Theon out cold and stabbing Maester Luwin, but it's not enough to prevent Ramsay from flaying him alive. He's a similarly detestable character in the Harry Potter series, appearing in the final three films as one of the Carrow brothers, Amycus.

His role in the films is considerably smaller in the books, with most of his lines and actions either given to other characters or missed out completely. The most notable is when he spits in Professor McGonagall's face, leading to Harry properly using the Cruciatus Curse for the first time. In both series, it's fair to say that he deserved the torture.
