In the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, from 2001, viewers get their first glance at the magically confusing staircase. The crisscrossing mobile staircase was inspired by M.C. Escher’s graphic design from 1953. Maurits Cornelis Escher was born in 1898 and became one of the most famous visual artists during his lifetime. He was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, and attended the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem. These fake red-heads have been keeping active in the Harry Potter community since Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was released. They frequently attend openings of various Harry Potter related events, including the grand opening of Universal Orlando’s new ride, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. You can also find them doing Q&As and signing autographs at conventions throughout the year, like at Montreal Comiccon 2019 or Silicon Valley Comic Con 2019. Percy Weasley – Chris Rankin Hermione’s first boyfriend was played by Stanislav Yanevski in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He filmed scenes with Emma Watson for Bill and Fleur’s wedding in Deathly Hallows: Part 1, but this scene was cut from the film. After Potter, Yanevski has had a quiet career in the film and tv industry, but he is set to attend LeakyCon Orlando this summer.

The perfectly portrayed Pomona Sprout has had an illustrious career in film, television, and theatre. Aside from two appearances in the Harry Potter films, Margolyes has most recently appeared in season 8 and 9 of Call the Midwife, and in 2019 played Miss Shepherd in a production of Lady in the Van. Interestingly, the 2015 film version starred Margolyes’ fellow Potter professor, Maggie Smith. Professor Quirrell – Ian Hart Slytherin Quidditch team – David Holmes, Will Theakston, Scott Fearn ‘Harry Potter’ Cast Members: The Adults Bonnie Wright’s Ginny Weasley portrayal is definitely a source of debate within the Harry Potter fandom, but she has also kept busy post Potter. She’s starred in a few smaller movies, including a 2018 retelling of A Christmas Carol, but she’s also moved behind the camera and has written, directed and produced a few shorts.

Ron’s greatest quality is perhaps his loyalty, much like his Patronus which is a dog. Hermione Granger – Emma Watson Last but certainly not least, another famous art historical reference is seen on the staircase at Hogwarts. In the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, from 2001, there is a scene where the three main characters are walking up the staircase. Instantly, a recognizable portrait of Anne Boleyn is hanging on the wall. Anne Boleyn was King Henry VIII’s second wife, known for her scandalous affair and beheading in 1536. Henry VIII divorced his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and had five more wives. To do this and marry Anne, he cut ties with Catholic Rome and formed a new church, the Church of England. Anne Boleyn only had one surviving child, the future Queen Elizabeth I. Unfortunately, Henry had Anne beheaded for treason three years after they married. Sean Biggerstaff bookended the Harry Potter franchise with appearances in the first two and final films. He’s had roles in a few short films since Harry Potter ended, as well as a role in Mary Queen of Scots, Whiskey Galore, and Hippie Hippie Shake which was never properly released. Cormac McLaggen – Freddie Stroma Together with Bloomsbury, we have created a handy step-by-step Hogwarts drawing guide to help children sketch their own drawing of the magical school.

Watson hasn’t starred in as many films as Radcliffe did after Harry Potter, but she’s been involved with several high-profile projects. She starred in the book-to-film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Disney’s live-action re-telling of Beauty and the Beast, and The Bling Ring. We love art history and writing about it.
