The Harry Potter films were being made as J.K. Rowling was still writing her books, so the filmmakers didn’t always know which minor characters would go on to become major players in later installments. They might not have put serious thought into who played a role in one scene in an early film, so they would sometimes have to re-cast the role with a better-known actor down the road.

In other cases, actors died or were arrested in between films, which forced the filmmakers to seek out new actors to replace them. Let’s take a look at why some Harry Potter actors got replaced.
