52 Witches & Dark Sorcerers in Film & TV Then And Now | 1964–2026 | 2026 Update .

Revisit 52 actors from magical and supernatural screen stories in this Timeless Meets Then And Now collection, covering selected film and television appearances from 1964 to 2024. Remember Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, Christopher Lee as Saruman, Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, and Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson? We return to those familiar roles and compare their screen appearances with portraits from later in the performers' lives. The journey includes Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power, Merlin, Game of Thrones, Hocus Pocus, The Witches, The Sandman, and Stranger Things. International selections include Georgy Millyar's Baba Yaga in Morozko (1964), Joey Wong in A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), Amrish Puri in Nagina (1986), The Untamed (2019), and Alchemy of Souls (2022). Charlie Vickers' Annatar appearance in The Rings of Power season 2 (2024) marks the latest selected screen year. These 52 entries bring together witches, sorcerers, spirits, occult figures, and other supernatural characters. Some are villains; others are sympathetic or morally complex figures remembered for much more than their magic. Which role takes you back to your first viewing? Tell us the character, actor, and film or series you would revisit. Subscribe to Timeless Meets for more familiar faces and the screen memories they carry. Timeframe: selected screen appearances, 1964–2024. This is a 2026 publishing update; the original roster's age reference remains October 15, 2026. Later portraits may have been photographed before 2026.
