Obituary

Helen McCrory, an English actress known for roles including Narcissa Malfoy in the final three “Harry Potter” movies, died April 16, 2021, of cancer at the age of 52.

McCrory was already a well-established actress in the U.K. before she joined the Harry Potter cast for 2009’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” In fact, she had intended to take an earlier Harry Potter role, playing Bellatrix Lestrange beginning with 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” But she had to drop the role due to her pregnancy, and she was replaced by Helena Bonham Carter.

McCrory was also well known for starring as Polly Gray on the BBC period crime drama “Peaky Blinders,” beginning in 2013. Her notable movies include “The Queen” (2006), “Hugo” (2011), and “Skyfall” (2012). She had a role on the Showtime series “Penny Dreadful,” as well as making appearances on TV shows including “Doctor Who” and “His Dark Materials.”
