Hopefully, with Yates at the helm of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise, there will be little need for as much actor turnover as its predecessor experienced although many fans are already skeptical about Johnny Depp's casting as Grindelwald. Although he's a Weasley, Bill is only mentioned in passing during the first two books, since he lives on his own in Egypt. It is there that we first see a glimpse of Bill in a photograph, which appears in The Daily Prophet.
Since he was a new character and didn't have any lines, the casting director for the films was able to bring on a background actor. Richard Fish was hired to portray Bill Weasley in the photograph alongside the other Weasley family members. Seeing as how Fish had no real professional acting experience to speak of, it was no surprise then that his role was recast and given to Domhnall Gleeson. There's actually a passage in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince where Bill is described as follows, " His scars were as bad as ever; in truth, he now bore a distinct resemblance to Mad-Eye Moody, though thankfully with both eyes and legs still intact.
In the Harry Potter books, the Fat Lady is a sassy, benevolent character whose painting guards the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. Upon receiving the weekly password, she lets students into their house, although usually somewhat reluctantly.
Some fans were taken aback when Elizabeth Spriggs was cast in the Fat Lady role, since she was an older Shakespearean actress that wasn't necessarily known for her comedic chops.
Spriggs tended to take more matronly roles, which didn't really fit with the Fat Lady's bubbly, sometimes drunken, and easily irritated, personality. The Fat Lady had a much more active role in Prisoner of Azkaban, since Sirius Black attacks her painting, and French provided some much needed comic relief.
Keeping to the whole "when the fat lady sings" expression, she attempts to break a glass with her singing voice while Harry and his fellow Gryffindors impatiently wait to get into their common room. Although it's one of the most memorable scenes in the film, unfortunately, French did not reprise her role in any of the later films -- though the Fat Lady is mentioned in subsequent books. Although Troyer was shown in the film, his voice was dubbed over by another actor with dwarfism, Warwick Davis.
It's likely that the combination of Troyer's high-pitched voice and American accent weren't satisfactory for the vision the filmmakers had of Griphook. Up until that point, Davis had actually played another Harry Potter character, Professor Filius Flitwick, the Charms master and head of Ravenclaw house. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , Davis actually played both roles within the same film, although Professor Flitwick looks significantly younger than he had in the earlier films.
Alicia Spinnet is one of those minor Harry Potter characters who often appears in the background, but never actually has any lines.
Therefore, she has been played by a number of different actresses, although only two actually received credit for the role. Alicia was a chaser for the Gryffindor quidditch team and became a member of Dumbledore's Army in the books, although it's unclear whether or not she's part of the villainous club in the films.
Rochelle Douglas took over the role for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , again showing up during a Quidditch related scene. Neither Sutherland or Douglas have any other acting credits, but Douglas is a former international gymnastics champion and current girl's gymnastics coach for Europa Gym in Crayford, a town about 20 miles east of London.
Since the first Harry Potter film came out in , when only four books had been written, it's likely the Grey Lady was considered a minor background character, since she'd had no lines in the series at that time. However, after the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book came out in , the importance of The Grey Lady's role in the story was revealed, which would explain the need for a recasting. Kelly Macdonald took over the expanded role for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, when Harry confronts her about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem and finds out that the ghost is actually Rowena's daughter.
