British actor David Ryall died on Christmas Day at the age of 79.
Ryall is perhaps most famous for playing Elphias Doge, a wizard in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, but as his daughter Charlie tweeted, his career spanned five decades and he starred in much more than this one film.
Please take a moment to remember his huge five-decade-spanning career outside of the more well-known TV & film. Not just Harry Potter.
