21 Years Later, Harry Potter’s Most Random Character Still Stole Every Scene in Prisoner of Azkaban
Though he played a minor character in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Ekow Quartey has become a more familiar face on stage and screen. Seven years after his acting debut, he joined Shakespeare’s Globe and has since performed in numerous roles, including Forest Lord and William in As You Like It, Nana and Tootles in Peter Pan, and the title role in Macbeth. Most recently, he starred as JJ in the 2025 British comedy series Amandaland. Despite continuing his acting career, Quartey is still fondly remembered for his brief but memorable appearance in the third Harry Potter film.
