Character Analysis

Bit Players

We also get appearances by other Harry Potter supporting characters, some of whom factor in more in later stories. Madam Rosmerta (Julie Christie) mans, or we should say womans, the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade where Harry eavesdrops on her and Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith), who sadly gets no good lines in this one.

We also meet Stan Shunpike (Lee Ingleby) of the Knight Bus, Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy) the Minister of Magic, and a quick appearance by a few Weasleys, including the twins who give Harry the Marauder's Map. And that's about it.
