No living cast members 90+ now. Closest is Julian Glover, 89.

There haven’t been any 90+ cast members alive since Leslie Phillips died, as Maggie Smith was still 89 at her time of death.

[The Old Crem 3,581]

I wonder how many of them will make 90. Miriam Margoyles and David Bradley have both looked rough in recent appearances so I I don’t expect either of them to make it,

Glover will. The others are too far off to tell. Gemma Jones looked quite good in Wicked Little Letters this year, but she's "only" 82.

Jim Broadbent... maybe? Gary Oldman, Emma Thompson and David Thewliss are still on the younger side but I can see any of them having good long lives.

Jean Southern, the "dimpled woman on train". That would be a devastating blow.

Pass what?   If you mean "die", say so.

 

I don't mind metaphorical euphemisms like fall off the perch or kick the bucket, but "pass" is such a spineless cop-out. 

This is the DeathList, not the PassList.  We are better than that.

Feel free to say who has health issues etc.

[Commtech Sio Bibble 2,027]

Simon Fisher Becker, who played the fat friar in Potter no.1, is probably worth a mention as he's roughly the size of a small cruise ship, is in his early 60s and uses a mobility scooter to get around. He's still active (I met him at a convention last month) but, I can see him going in a similar way to Richard Griffiths in a few years time.

Here's a wee video that shows all the living main cast members...

Williams has had "personal issues" in the past, which is why he seems to miss 50% of the Fast Show reunions. Dunno if he's over them these days.

Wasn't he also the big blue guy who made a few appearances in Matt Smith's tenure of Doctor Who? Thought I recognised the name.

My gut says Bradley for some reason, but it will be close between him and Cleese. Margolyes seems like one of those people who can suffer ill health for many years but still somehow go on and on.

If you're really going to list extras like "dimpled woman on train" then if you go on the Harry Potter Wiki online there are a bunch of other 80/90+ actors who appeared in the film. I intentionally cut off the notability at supporting cast members and omitted any extras from my list because the extended cast list is ridiculously long. There were 8 films after all.
