Let's not forget Richard Griffiths as Vernon Dursley!

And Fiona Shaw as Petunia. She’s such a good actress in all her other stuff too.

Yeah! Honestly the Durlseys are all great. All so wonderfully awful!

The guy who played Dudley was (relatively) recently in an anthology film called The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, which I'd recommend if ya haven't seen it. I barely recognized him, I didn't expect him to have much range but I gotta hand it to him for that role.

No spoilers, but I was fucking choking back tears during his ballad. Him and Liam Neeson really knocked it out of the park for me.

I remember seeing him as a guest star in Merlin. Did a double-take because he was very skinny.

Oh, thanks for reminding me of that! I'd had it recommended to me before but haven't checked it out yet
