Sad news in the world of Harry Potter. Brazilian police officer and voice-over actor Caio César, who was the Portuguese voice of Harry Potter, died Wednesday, Sept. 30, after being shot while on duty [1] in Rio de Janeiro at 27. César also worked on other children's films, including Dora the Explorer, How to Train Your Dragon, X-Men: Evolution, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. When J.K. Rowling heard the news, she honored the artist and expressed grief on Twitter, writing:

Desperately sad to hear that Caio César, Brazilian voice of Harry Potter, has died at the age of 27. My thoughts are with his family.
