This is "Harry Potter" star Jason Isaacs?: Fans of the series "The White Lotus" react in shock

When you compare them directly, it seems almost unimaginable. But apparently many viewers of "The White Lotus" have problems identifying where they know the actor who plays family man Timothy Ratliff in the third season that is currently running. It is, of course, the Brit Jason Isaacs (61), who once made life difficult for Harry Potter at Hogwarts as the villain Lucius Malfoy. The only problem is that without his blonde wig, some of the audience seem to have difficulty making this connection.

In any case, there are increasing reports on social networks of surprised and even shocked reactions when the penny finally dropped. Some even compare the phenomenon to Miley Cyrus' (32) role in "Hannah Montana". In it, Cyrus played the character Miley Stewart, who transforms into her alter ego Hannah Montana with a blonde wig - and is suddenly no longer recognized as Miley.

What seemed unrealistic at the time has now gained credibility thanks to Jason Isaacs: "It took almost the entire first episode of the third season of 'White Lotus' before I realized that this was Jason Isaacs," said one TikToker . "I would therefore like to officially apologize to all the writers and creators of 'Hannah Montana'." Apparently, many other people felt the same way, as a look at the comments section of her video shows.

A German also causes astonishment

But another character also caused similar surprise. Many viewers were obviously wondering where they knew the hotel manager named Fabian from in the third season of "White Lotus". Only to finally be shocked to discover that it was the German actor Christian Friedel (45), who the international audience knows primarily as Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höß from "The Zone of Interest".

Jason Isaacs has recently spoken out again about the filming of the popular "Harry Potter" films. However, some amateur magicians may see his comments as a real lese majeste. Isaacs had a "terrible confession" to make, as he revealed on the BBC's "The One Show" : "It wasn't much fun filming them. Because it's pretty boring to make big special effects films." But he immediately assured: "The fun comes afterwards. I see and meet people whose lives have been changed by the story. Some people say that their lives were saved by it - and I believe them."
