ooh! what a scoop 8-) i loved shirley henderson too. bbc news gives 
more casting news at the link below, on colin creevey, armando dippet 
and aragog - i'm not familiar with any of the actors.

interesting to note that they call henderson's character "miserable 
myrtle" not "moaning myrtle." the first book-to-film change for CoS 
perhaps? <g>
