The "Harry Potter" film series has boasted one of the most diverse and talented casts of any film franchise before or after, with several experienced dramatic performers joining Hogwarts each year. The cast included everyone from global megastars like Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix LeStrange and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort to well-known British actors like Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn and David Bradley as Argus Filch.
Thousands of fans adored the cast of the film, and they've gone on to have successful acting careers. With such a large cast and an eight-film franchise, it's no wonder that some actors from "Harry Potter" have appeared in other films. Let's take a look at a few that we've seen in other films.
