List of Harry Potter cast members

Did you know that Dubledore was played by two different actors? The first was Richard Harris, who died on October 25, 2002, of Hodgkin’s disease. So from the third movie onwards, Dumbledore was played by Michael Gambon. Did you notice the difference? Probably not, hair and makeup do a lot.

But which was the best Dumbledore for you?

I'm not excited in the slightest for this, maybe it will be great to see the actors 20 years after filming of the first movie, but I've this feeling that something about it won't interest me at all, even if I might end up liking it later.

Now I don't know how much everyone here know or have seen about the actors who were quite famous before they were even casted for Harry Potter, but I've seen and read about a lot of stuffs including them before reading Harry Potter so I never really expected most of them to be a part of the casting in a series like it that is primarily targeted at children aged 10 and up unless I'm wrong. It does make me feel sad that some have passed away and some are getting quite old, and to be perfectly honest, I couldn't regret more for those who I've seen and had the perfect chance but never talked to, I should have done it and it's not like I couldn't but I absolutely don't know why I didn't and now I regret it so much, every single day.

It won't be the same without seeing so many of them there, but I have massive respect to each of them for the job they’ve done over 10 years of movies, I appreciate it a lot and most of them were perfect at whatever character they were given the role of. But I'm not so interested in that process that I’d want to hear them talk about it or whatever stuff and experience they are going to talk about, I really don't know why. I hate my life.

Can anyone tell me who from the Harry Potter Cast read any of the book if not all and who didn't read any of them before filming? Not after, and I only know that Evanna Lynch read all of them and was also a super fan before the role of Luna Lovegood. Daniel Redcliff, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton also read some but Michael Gambon didn't read any of them so if anyone else know more and could tell me I would really appreciate it thank you.
