A Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban actor had initially auditioned to play Quirrell in Sorcerer's Stone, and it's good he didn't get the part.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone had the tough job of casting the beloved Harry Potter book characters for the first time, and these decisions had a major impact on Warner Bros' future movie installments. This was especially true for the adult characters of the series.

When it comes to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, there were several adult roles to fill, including the first of Harry's many Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, Professor Quirinus Quirrel. Actor Ian Hart played this role flawlessly in the Warner Bros film, perfecting the contrast between his fearful, stuttering self and the evil servant to the Dark Lord he was revealed to be.

Professor Quirrell was a relatively minor character compared to Harry's other Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. The fearful professor was written to be forgettable—just a scared, strange man who no one would suspect of villainy. This made the reveal that Quirrell had Lord Voldemort sticking out the back of his head all the more impactful. Then, once the character had died, he was easy to again forget.

Prisoner Of Azkaban Wouldn't Have Been The Same Without Thewlis As Remus Lupin Thewlis as Remus Lupin is another example of a character that is difficult to separate from the actor who played them. Like the other Marauder generation characters, Thewlis was a little older than the book had described, but his gentle, father-like demeanor was precisely what had been described in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban book.
