The past week has been quite busy for the HBO Harry Potter series, with cast and crew heading to Cornwall for location filming. Fans are buzzing as we get our first real glimpse of John Lithgow in character as Albus Dumbledore, and we've also learned the identities of the actors portraying the legendary Flamels.

During their time filming at the picturesque Kynance Cove, scenes were captured featuring Dumbledore's meeting with Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel. These significant roles will be brought to life by veteran actors Lambert Wilson as Nicolas Flamel and Marthe Keller as Perenelle Flamel.

Fans of The Matrix sequels will recognize Lambert Wilson from his portrayal of The Merovingian, while Marthe Keller's extensive filmography includes memorable performances in movies such as Marathon Man, Bobby Deerfield, and Dark Eyes.
