ABC News: Richard Griffiths, the versatile British actor who played the boy wizard's unsympathetic Uncle Vernon in the "Harry Potter" movies, has died. He was 65.
Agent Simon Beresford announced Friday that Griffiths died a day earlier of complications following heart surgery at University Hospital in Coventry, central England.

Let's never forget his brilliant turn as Uncle Monty in "Withnail and I."
Great character actor. I liked him best as the police detective/chef in the British series Pie in the Sky.
We're watching Pie in the Sky now. For whatever reason, one of our PBS stations started running it recently.

I've seen pictures of him as Uncle Vernon and to me he looks like Ustinov playing Poirot.....
