9 Game Of Thrones Actors Who Were Also In Harry Potter

2. Michelle Fairley

Michelle Fairley's return to Game of Thrones is one a lot of fans are clamouring for, as it would mean the appearance of a particular book character.

While that's looking increasingly unlikely to ever happen, we can still remember the role she played on the show as Catelyn Stark, wife of Ned and mother to Robb, Sansa et al (but not Jon, obviously). She remained strong even despite her husband's murder, and was that way right until the very end, when she was brutally murdered at the Red Wedding.

Her part in Harry Potter was less significant, although also defined by her being a mother. She appeared briefly in Death Hallows Part 1 as Mrs Granger, mother of Hermione. She has her memory wiped to forget all about having a daughter, but sadly we cannot wipe the sight of her throat being opened by Black Walder Frey from our minds.
