Pink Floyd are an English rock band, noted for progressive compositions, philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, cover art and elaborate live shows. The group is one of rock music's most successful and influential acts, believed to have sold an estimated 73.5 million albums in the U.S. and over 200 million albums worldwide. Pink Floyd enjoyed moderate success in the late 1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. Barrett's erratic behaviour caused his colleagues to replace him with guitarist David Gilmour and the band went on to record several elaborate concept albums, achieving worldwide success with 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon, 1975's Wish You Were Here, 1977's Animals, and 1979's The Wall, among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rock music history.

Featured list: List of Harry Potter films cast members
Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays Harry Potter, has been the icon of the film series since the release of the first film in 2001.

The list of Harry Potter cast members is a list of actors who voiced or portrayed characters appearing in the Harry Potter film series based on the book series by J. K. Rowling. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who have played and will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger in all the films, were virtually unknown when they were cast. Complementing them on screen are some of the most renowned actors of the United Kingdom and Ireland, including Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Richard Griffiths, Richard Harris, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters.12 Seventeen actors have appeared as the same character in the first five films of the franchise, and many of these actors are expected to reappear in Half-Blood Prince.

Sometimes well-known British actors who have not appeared in the series are asked in jest why they haven't yet been cast;2 Bill Nighy has said, "I joked with [director David Yates] that maybe now I wouldn't be the only actor in England who hadn't been in 'Harry Potter'".3 Jude Law has quipped, "Nobody's asked me. I was a bit too old for Harry".4

The list is sorted by film and character, as some characters have been portrayed by multiple actors. The list also includes confirmed cast members for the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, due to be released in 2009,5 and the seventh, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due to be released in two parts in 2010 and 2011.
