Prominent Irish and Welsh characters in the Harry Potter

Seamus Finnigan - a Gryffindor in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts and member of Dumbledore's Army (Implied) Ifans appeared in many Welsh-language television programmes before embarking on his film career, including the comedy show Pobol y Chyff [ cy], as well as performing at the National Theatre, London and the Royal Exchange, Manchester.

[14] [15]About Time saw Nighy starring alongside yet another Potter name – this time one of the younger cast members, Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley), who was recently cast in the new Star Wars. Nighy said: While dragon skin could resist most spells, such as a single Stunning Spell, a dozen wizards casting one at once at a dragon could stun it, and certain strategies might be employed to circumvent the strength of their hides. In addition, when Professor Binns forgets his name, he calls Seamus "O'Flaherty", which is also an Irish name. This somewhat implies that Seamus is memorably Irish. The Prime Minister's first, foolish thought was that Rufus Scrimgeour looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows, he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp. There was an immediate impression of shrewdness and toughness; the Prime Minister thought he understood why the wizarding community preferred Scrimgeour to Fudge as a leader in these dangerous times." — Scrimgeour's outward disposition [src]

[16] I made the mistake of climbing onto the sand dunes straight away. This was because it was sunset and I wanted to make a beeline for Dobby’s grave before it got dark. The Antipodean Opaleye is one of the most beautiful dragons, with shimmering scales and pupil-less, multicoloured eyes. It produces a very vivid scarlet flame. To celebrate the anniversary of the first book being released, she hosted an event at Waterstones in Swansea on Saturday night, where wizards and witches of all ages came to enjoy games and get sorted into their houses for their first year at Hogwarts. She said the books were so important to her because she was able to relate to Harry after his traumatic childhood.

The Netflix hit series has been filmed around the Wye Valley, Newport, Penarth and for series, three, in Rhondda Cynon Taff - where they used Rhondda Bowl for some retro bowling scenes. Margam Park has also doubled for France in series three and of, course there's the brilliant-looking Llandogo village shop.

These dragons are named for their long, golden horns that they use to stab prey. Their horns are so widely sought after that the species started to reduce in numbers, prompting a breeding programme.
