Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis wife Samantha left him staggering amount in her will after she died in March aged 53

Warwick Daviss beloved wife Samantha left him more than £500,000 after she died in March.

The Harry Potter star, 54, was bequeathed the fortune following his film star partners death aged 53 earlier this year.

Mr Davis, who called Sammy his most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter, was the sole trustee in her will.

According to documents seen by The Sun, Ms Davis estate was worth £536,830 when she died.

Ms Davis, who met her husband on the set of his 1988 film Willow, tragically died aged 53 on March 24. 

The couple tied the knot in 1991 and had three children during their 33-year marriage - one of whom tragically died shortly after he was born.

Their two other children, Annabelle and Harrison, also paid tribute to their mother at the time of her death, saying: Her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives. Mum is our best friend and were honoured to have received a love like hers.

Ms Davis was diagnoses with achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that causes dwarfism, as a child. 

Her husband is affected by a similar condition, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita. It meant he never grew taller than 3ft 6in.

After Ms Davis death, her husband released a heartbreaking tribute to his lifelong partner.

He said he felt like he could achieve anything with his wife by his side and that it felt like he had a superpower.

She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes, Davis said in a statement given to the BBC at the time of her death.

Mr Davis said his wifes mobility had become impaired in recent years but shared how she was determined not to let it bring her down.

She had a brush with death in 2019 when she fell ill with sepsis ahead of a family holiday.

Mr Davis previously told how he and the couples children sort of said goodbye by her bedside before she pulled through.

She initially thought that her symptoms were caused by stress from preparing for the trip.

When her exhaustion led to her not being able to stand without support, her husband called an out-of-hours doctor and she was rushed to hospital.

Mr Davis said in 2022: The next few hours were the longest of my life as I waited on the ward with our children in the empty space left by Sams hospital bed. I hoped it would not symbolise a future for us without her.

He continued: Our family gathered by her bedside; although optimistic, we were sort of saying goodbye in case Sam didnt survive.

The actor and his wife lost baby son Lloyd just nine days after he was born in 1991 - the year they got married.

Mr Davis said in 2022 that he would not wish the devastating experience on anyone and added: You never get over it.

He and Ms Davis - who co-founded the charity Little People UK - met when Mr Davis starred as sorcerer Willow Ufgood in the 1988 film named after the character.
