Harry told her to shut up but she refused, so he performed a spell on her which caused her to balloon up. Marge floated up into the sky and that was all we saw of her. Since Harry broke a rule of using magic outside of Hogwarts, he almost faced expulsion from Hogwarts, but the officials ruled he could stay at the school.

It was revealed later on in the film that Marge survived her ordeal. Ferris had roles in the films, "Telstar", "Children of Men" and "Death to Smoochy".

Answer: Tom Felton

Felton, born on September 22nd, 1987, in London, England played Draco Malfoy in this film. Hagrid's pet hippogriff, Buckbeak, attacked Malfoy when Draco got close to him and taunted him. Draco made his injuries out to be worse than what they were and this got Slytherin to postpone their Quidditch match. Draco almost had Hagrid fired for this incident but Hagrid still kept his job.

However, Buckbeak got sentenced to death. Hermione went up to Draco and punched him in the face for this. Felton had parts in the films, "Anna and the King", "The Disappeared" and "The Borrowers".

Answer: Daniel Radcliffe

Radcliffe played Harry Potter in this movie. Harry found out that a man named Peter Pettigrew, friend to James and Lily Potter, betrayed them to Voldemort and framed Sirius Black for this crime. Sirius escaped from Azkaban to get revenge but Harry thought, for a while, that Sirius was the one who got his parents killed.

He vowed to kill Sirius but thankfully realized that Sirius was set up by Peter Pettigrew. Harry and Hermione used a Time Turner to save Hagrid's pet, Buckbeak, from getting beheaded. Had they not used this, Buckbeak would have died.

When Harry went down to a lake to save Sirius, he nearly died, thanks to the dementors. However, due to the Time Turner, Harry's other self appeared at the other end of the lake and saved both Harry and Sirius Black.

The Time Turner allowed Harry to go back in time and got him at the other end of the lake to use the spell, "Expecto Patronum", to prevent the dementors from killing him and Sirius. Radcliffe starred in the TV movie, "David Copperfield", released in 1999.

He also had roles in "The Tailor of Panama" and "December Boys".

Answer: Robbie Coltrane

Coltrane, a native of Scotland, portrayed Rubeus Hagrid. In this installment of the "Harry Potter" film series, Hagrid became the Care of Magical Creatures professor, upon Silvanus Kettleburn's resignation. Hagrid introduced the students to his pet hippogriff, Buckbeak.

He taught them how to behave around a hippogriff, which was to bow right before you got to them and to approach with caution. Hagrid became distraught when it was ordered, by The Ministry of Magic, that Buckbeak be beheaded after he attacked Draco Malfoy. Once this happened, his classes became boring but, thanks to Harry, Hermione and a Time Turner, Buckbeak was saved.

This thrilled Hagrid. Coltrane starred in movies like, "The World is Not Enough", "Van Helsing" and "Message in a Bottle".

Answer: Rupert Grint

Grint, born on August 24th, 1988, in Hertfordshire, England was Ron Weasley in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Ron's rat, Scabbers, went missing and he blamed Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, for his disappearance. Ron and Hermione eventually made up. On the day of Buckbeak's beheading, Ron went to see Hagrid with Harry and Hermione and he found Scabbers at Hagrid's hut. Scabbers fled and Ron followed him to the Whomping Willow tree, where a large dog grabbed him and pulled him into a tunnel below the tree.

The dog turned out to be Sirius Black, since he was an animagus, a person who elects to turn into an animal or magical creature. Ron was knocked out by Peter Pettigrew's spell and recovered in the hospital. Ron's role in this film was minor compared to the other installments of this film series. Grint starred in movies like "Thunderpants", "Driving Lessons", "The Children's Party at the Palace" and "Cherrybomb".

Answer: Matthew Lewis

Lewis reprised his role of Neville Longbottom in this movie, having played the part in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Neville was in Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class and there was one scene with the class, in which the students received a lesson on boggarts. Professor Lupin instructed the students to name their biggest fear. Neville stated that he feared Professor Snape.

The boggart turned into the very thing a student feared the most. Lupin gave the students a lesson in how to turn the boggart into something they do not fear, therefore Neville managed to change the boggart from Professor Snape to Snape wearing his grandmother's clothes. Lupin's useful spells helped Neville and other less confident students.

There was another scene where Neville ate some candy to sound like an elephant. Otherwise, he was not seen a whole lot in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Lewis had guest starring roles on TV series like, "Dalziel and Pascoe", "Where the Heart Is" and "Heartbeat".
