HARRY POTTER Alum Frances de la Tour joins OUTLANDER Season 2!
The Harry Potter alum who played Madame Maxime, half-giant headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy, is taking on an exciting new role!
Frances de la Tour has joined Outlander Season 2 as Mother Hildegarde, the intimidating, wise, sharp-witted Mother Superior at L’Hopital des Anges in Paris, where Claire volunteers as she and Jamie seek refuge and answers in France.
Frances De La Tour is intelligent and commanding, which is why she’ll make a great Mother Hildegarde! #Outlander pic.twitter.com/2J9ZPeHflw
