RIP Vernon Dursley

Sad news coming down the pipe. Richard Griffiths who is most famous for playing Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter franchise has passed away after complications that happened post heart surgery. This is obviously very sad news because the actor was not only great at his job, but has also been recognized as a great person as well.

I have always enjoyed him in the series and thought that he was the perfect encapsulation of the character that J.K. Rowling had created. He offered so much to the role and I always wished that Deathly Hallows Part I had included the segment from the book where Harry parts from the Dursleys for the last time. Alas, that time has passed and now the world has to grief Griffiths. RIP Richard, the world will miss you.
