Just when you think you know everything there is to know about the Harry Potter [2] series, something comes to your attention that truly blows your mind grapes. This one might be one of those facts [3]. OK, so you know Mad-Eye Moody (pictured above)? The eyepatch-wearing wizard is played by Irish actor Brendan Gleeson, who of course has appeared in countless other films, like 28 Days Later . . . and Gangs of New York. He's also the father of two actors, and one of them is Domhnall Gleeson, who's part of the Star Wars franchise as General Hux [4] and will star in the upcoming HBO series Run [5]. He also had one of his earlier roles in the Harry Potter [6] franchise as Bill Weasley, in both Deathly Hallows movies (pictured below).

Are you there yet? Yes, the actors who play Mad-Eye and Bill Weasley are father and son in real life. Oh, and as for Gleeson's other son, he and Domhnall played brothers [8] in Mother!.
