Although Timothy Spall and Imelda Staunton had both appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), they shared no scenes together in both movies so this was their first real acting collaboration. In the 1970s, they attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) together.
