Dave Legeno | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The first Harry Potter film, Chris Columbus‘s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, hit theaters almost 18 years ago.

Since then – seven movies later – we have sadly lost some of the talented actors who brought some of our favorite characters to life in the franchise.

Fortunately, J.K. Rowling‘s magical world will live forever and *always* in our hearts thanks to their brilliant performances.

We’re taking a look back at some of the Harry Potter stars who have sadly died since filming.

Wands up.

Harry Potter actor Dave Legeno, who is known as werewolf Fenrir Greyback, has died at age 50 while hiking in Death Valley, Calif., TMZ reports.

Apparently, Dave‘s body was found by a pair of hikers on Sunday in an area so remote that a CHP helicopter had to be called in to remove it.

The Inyo County Sheriff’s Department says that Dave “died of heat related issues … and may have been dead for 3-4 days before his body was discovered.”

Dave also appeared in Snow White and the Huntsman and Titanic, among many other things.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
