The Graham Norton Show will see two beloved stars of supernatural and magical movies assemble on its red sofa.

Now in its 29th series, the popular talk show hosted by the Irish presenter will welcome Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes as well as Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Paul Rudd to its November 5 episode.

Margolyes, known for playing Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter film series, will talk about her autobiography This Much is True. The British-Australian actress has collected candid stories from inside and outside the industry in her memoir, published in September this year.

Helmed by Jason Reitman, son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife focuses on the grandchildren of Egon Spengler, played by Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard as Trevor and Mckenna Grace as Phoebe, as well as their mother Callie (Fargo's Carrie Coon). Rudd portrays Mr. Grooberson, Phoebe's teacher, who will be involved in some serious supernatural activity.

Afterlife holds no connection to Feig's female-led reboot Ghostbusters: Answer The Call but features cameos from the original Ghostbusters stars, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts.

But Margolyes and Rudd won't be the only guests for the night. Director Ron Howard will discuss his Hollywood memoir The Boys, while Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry will spill the beans on her new sports drama Bruised. Finally, Stephen Fry will appear to promote his latest book Fry's Ties.

The Graham Norton Show airs on Fridays at 10.35pm on BBC One.
