“Harry Potter and “Game of Thrones” are completely different worlds.

But the worlds converge thanks to actors who have appeared in both.

While some of the crossovers may be recognisable, like Natalia Tena as both Tonks and Osha, others may come as a surprise.

Here are 13 actors that have appeared in both series.

Michelle Fairley made a brief appearance in the first part of 'Deathly Hallows' as Hermione's mother.

But 'GOT' fans might know her best as the strong-willed Catelyn Stark.

Natalia Tena is known throughout the 'Harry Potter' fandom as the amazing Nymphadora Tonks, but don't call her Nymphadora.

Warner Bros. Pictures

She joined 'GOT' as the fearless wildling Osha in the first season until she and Rickon disappeared for a bit during season four and five. She briefly returned in season six, but she was killed by Ramsay Bolton when she tried to stab him. RIP, Osha.

He showed up during the sixth season of 'GOT' as Dickon Tarly, Sam's younger brother.

But you can recognise him as Grand Maester Pycelle in 'GOT.'

Standing at 7-foot-1, Ian Whyte has played his fair share of giant characters, including the whole body shots for Madame Olympe Maxime (also portrayed by Frances de la Tour).

Warner Bros. Pictures

He's portrayed multiple characters on 'GOT,' including a White Walker, the Mountain in season two, and Wun Wun the giant.
