Who played the minor characters in the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"? Actors left "in the shadows"

Although the cycle of books and films about the famous wizard Harry Potter long come to an end, fans of the wonderful world created by Joanne Rowling, continue to re-read their favorite pages and review the most interesting fragments of the epic. So, many people liked the film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the actors in which are already grown-up students Hogwarts.

While many fans of the fascinating story about Harry Potter are well aware of "cutting-edge" actors - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Green, Emma Watson, only a few of them are interested in the real life of other participants in the sensational project. Readers are offered true facts from the biographies of actors who appeared in the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

The twin actors Oliver and James Phelps

It is believed that the famous English was incredibly lucky: during the selection of the cast for the first film about Harry Potter twins Phelps were just the right age, sex, build and appearance. Although both young people have always been interested in theater and cinema, they might never have been on the big screen, if not for an amazing success.

Oliver Phelps was born 13 minutes before his twin brother, February 25, 1986, in the city of Birmingham. Already in primary and secondary school, he began to clearly differ from James by the nuances of character: while the younger brother was always serious and invariably industrious, the eldest preferred to work casual communication and parties.

It is also interesting that the twins are not really red, their hair is of a usual light brown color, without a single hint of copper color, which has become a symbol of the Weasley family. Remembering the shootings, Oliver Phelps notes that regular tinting the roots of the hair did not cause much trouble, but both brothers could not tolerate the process of discoloration of the eyebrows.

Following the example of the characters

Getting used to the legendary roles, Twins Phelpsy often arranged a film for the film crew, worthy of Fred and George Weasley themselves . Sometimes their jokes were quite harmless - no one was offended, for example, if the brothers "changed" by names, misleading the interlocutors. More serious, however, was the case in those cases when whole doubles were spoiled because of the substitution of twins. The film crew very soon found out that Oliver had a mole on his neck on the right side, and this fact allowed to prevent rallies in the future.

Behind Draco Malfoy

Few people paid attention to them, however, during six episodes of the epic film for the blond Draco Malfoy, his best friends and part-time "bodyguards" Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle continued unswervingly. With these characters, almost nothing happened until the events of the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Actors, however, led a very full life.

Josh Herdman, who played Gregory Goyle, was born September 9, 1987 in Hampton. Although his acting career has not yet developed, the young man succeeds in his personal life: he married early enough and brings up a son named Morgan. According to Josh, he craved for cinematography from his father - Martin Herdman, an actor and professional rugby player. Three older brothers, strangely enough, did not follow the example of the head of the family.

Joshua Hurdman is almost entirely satisfied with the role he got in the plot about Harry Potter, however, according to him, it was quite difficult to portray the bully.

Currently, he is engaged in writing scripts and shooting short films, as well as amateur boxing.

Vincent Crabbe

After filming the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the actors became involuntary witnesses to the scandal that was taking place: a young man who was the second slamster from Slytherin Vincent Crabb was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for active participation in mass riots.

Jamie Weillett was born on July 21, 1989 in London. Perhaps his face is even more recognizable than the image of Gregory Goyle, but due to criminal prosecution and conviction Jamie had to interrupt his acting career, and the actions of his character in the last film of the movie history were performed by Goyle. Prior to the execution of the sentence in 2012, Weylett successfully participated in the creation of video games on the Harry Potter universe, where he voiced Vincent Crabba.
