British actor David Ryall, who will be remembered for playing Elphias Doge in the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows film, died on Christmas Day aged 79, family members said Sunday, dpa reported. Daughter and fellow actor Charlie Ryall said: "Please take a moment to remember his huge five-decade-spanning career outside of the more well-known TV & film. Not just Harry Potter." Ryall replaced Peter Cartwright as Doge in 2010's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, an ally of Hogwarts headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore. -- SPA 21:24 LOCAL TIME 18:24 GMT تغريد
