British actor Sam Beazley, who had a small, notable role as one of the previous Hogwarts Headmasters Professor Everard in
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, died this week, aged 101.
In the movie (and even the book), Professor Dumbledore spoke to Everard's portrait in the Headmaster's office when Arthur Weasley was attacked in the Department of Mysteries.
Quote:
The news was confirmed in the announcements section of The Times with a tribute from the actor's family, saying: "Actor and artist, died in his sleep 12th June 2017, aged 101.
"Beloved brother-in-law, uncle and great uncle. Funeral on 21st June, at Mortlake Crematorium."
During his acting career, Sam Beazley took on roles in British comedies including Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Johnny English, as well as appearing in Midsomer Murders, Doctors, Casualty and two episodes of Little Britain back in 2005.
Our many thoughts and condolences to loved ones at this time.
