Played by: Maggie Smith Voiced by: Toby Jones Remember that advert a few years ago that asked you to name a teacher who inspired you? We reckon every Hogwarts pupil ever would say Minerva McGonagall. What a witch! Speaking of tragic deaths, was there any more heartbreaking than Dobby’s? Despite a life- time of Malfoy propaganda, the loveable house-elf was a true friend to The Boy Who Lived. Played by: Ralph Fiennes Played by: Evanna Lynch Proof that sometimes nice girls do finish first, not-so-loony Luna was a vital cog in He- Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s demise. And what groovy style! Played by: David Thewlis The best mentor/friend you could hope for, unless the Moon is full. In which case – RUN! Played by: Helena Bonham Carter Even in his no-nosed pomp, Lord Voldemort never scared us half as much as his demented devotee Bellatrix. Played by Bonham Carter with wild hair and even wilder eyes, this unhinged Death Eater still sends shivers down our spine. Played by: Claudia Kim We know her as Voldemort’s pet snake, but in FB2, Nagini is a human female Maledictus (played fangtastically by Kim). Played by: Ezra Miller This tormented Obscurial has almost unspeakable power – but which side will he choose? The story so far... Played by: Gary Oldman Mad as a hatter – or so we thought – Harry’s beloved godfather Sirius actually proved to know exactly what was what, turning his back on his awful pureblood family in favour of fighting the good fight alongside his godson. His death still hurts. Sob! Against a backdrop of fear and foreboding, Newt Scamander arrives in 1926 New York with a briefcase full of magical creatures. Following a chance encounter Played by: Dan Fogler The only no-maj/muggle on this list, kindly Jacob proved an invaluable ally to Newt in the first Fantastic Beasts (even if he can’t remember it!). Now his services are needed again... with no-maj Jacob, several beasts escape. Newt succeeds in tracking them down (just!), in the process also locating wanted dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. odeon.co.uk 19 BROS. Contentious we know, having You-Know-Who so far down this list, but since his defeat in Deathly Hallows, the Dark Lord’s fear factor has waned. We can even say it: “Voldemort!”
