10 Harry Potter Actors Who Sound Nothing Like Their Characters

Harry Potter is filled with also sorts of mysterious and magical characters so its no wonder it takes a little more work than your average film to craft a voice for the characters. Sure, the cast of kids were all off the hook, being so young and all, so it was left to the adult actors to do the heavy lifting. Ralph Fiennes Voldemort was enough to intimidate one of the main cast. Shirley Henderson, who plays teenage Moaning Myrtle, was surprisingly already a pro in the film industry due to one factor that set her apart from the rest of the kids in the movie (and we dont mean because she was a ghost. Helena Bonham Carter took from a few sources for Bellatrix LeStrange. Jason Isaacs was out for a bit of revenge when he came up with the voice for Lucius. Gary Oldman really nailed the escaped prisoner aesthetic when it came to Sirius Black. Imelda Staunton was initially offended by the recommendation she would be perfect for the role of Delores Umbridge given the horrible description of the character in the book. Emma Thompson was so buried under the layers of character its hard to even tell the professor her! Luna Lovegood is really just Evanna at halfspeed. David Bradlys charming personality is really lost in his performance. And Timothy Spall played a rat in human form. Or a human in rat form. Hes so far from the character in real life that its mind boggling. Give it a watch! Although, a listen is more important in this scenario

Also, heres a fun fact about Shirley Henderson: she played Leonora Braham, the originator of the role of Yum-Yum in _The Mikado_, in the film _Topsy Turvy_, the film about Gilbert & Sullivan and their development of well, _The Mikado_.
And yes, she even did her own singing voice, as did all the actors who played the cast of the opera. Theres also a few other actors who would go on to do _Harry Potter_, such as Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) as Gilbert, Timothy Spall (Pettigrew) as Richard Temple (the Mikado, and even Sullivan was played by Allan Corduner, who went on to voice Snape, Filch and Flitwick in the video games.

I have been a huge fan of the books and the movies, my fav, though is Prof. Snape. But I just really adore David Bradley's Filch I keep thinking there could be such a back story that is extremely interesting, even a bit sentimental and tragic. I mean his cat has to be a Maledictus, or so I imagine.

When Oldman did Dracula, he insisted that he be allowed to do an East European accent. I think Coppola wanted him to sound more English like the Lee version, but Oldman basically told him that it was either the accent or nothing. That version of Dracula was later parodied by Leslie Nielsen

Ive never heard Jason Isaacs do an American accent until Star Trek: Discovery, where he deliberately sounded a little Southern to sound more army. And now hes playing a House-like American doctor in Good Sam

i love emma thompson to bits, as a human being and actress, i think i have seen all her movies, i can and i recognize the voice anywhere even when u cant tell its her, i think she is amazing

Its jarring to go from seeing Bellatrix to seeing Carter act as a princess in The Kings Speech (although maybe not as jarring as not hearing the speech therapist say yarrr once)
reply

They must be good actors for none of them resemble anything like their true characters in their private lives or is it the other way around.
reply

And then theres Alan rickman, who was so much like snape that he literally just used his normal voice and it was perfect
reply

I keep forgetting Gary Oldman is British. Sorry. Just used to seeing him as Commissioner Gordon on the Batman trilogy.
