“Harry Potter and “Game of Thrones” are completely different worlds.
But the worlds converge thanks to actors who have appeared in both.
While some of the crossovers may be recognizable, like Natalia Tena as both Tonks and Osha, others may come as a surprise.
Here are 13 actors that have appeared in both series.
Michelle Fairley made a brief appearance in the first part of “Deathly Hallows” as Hermione’s mother.
But “GOT” fans might know her best as the strong-willed Catelyn Stark.
