From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following are minor actors and actresses who are best or only known for their smaller roles in Harry Potter films. For a complete list of actors and actresses who appear in the films, see List of Harry Potter films cast members.
[edit] Jason Boyd
Jason Boyd (born September 29, 1989) will play Piers Polkiss, Dudley's best friend, in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
[edit] Eleanor Columbus
Eleanor Columbus is an American actress best known for her role as Susan Bones in the Harry Potter films. She is the daughter of Chris Columbus, director of the first two Potter films. She plays a daughter of Robin Williams in In Search of Dr. Seuss.
American, she was intentionally cast by her father as the role of Susan Bones, a minor one. It seems doubtful she will return for the upcoming fifth film, where she speaks and interacts more noticeably with the rest of the characters, as per Rowling's request for an all British cast.
