Casting the Other Films (long)

[David]

Here are my thoughts:

> Cornelius Fudge - Derek Jacobi

Hmmm, I think he would be better as Mr Crouch. What about Sir John 
Mills for Fudge?

> Lucius Malfoy - Richard E. Grant

Yes, he would be good. Personally, I think Chris Morris (a Brittish 
comedian) would be great.

> Mr. Weasley - Hugh Laurie

Oh yes, completely! But wouldn't he look a bit stupid with red 
hair?;o)

> Tom Riddle - Ciaran Owens or Michael Legge (see "Angela's Ashes")

I think it'll be an unknown, I was going to go to an audition for the 
part, but on the day I was ill in bed with flu and completely forgot 
about it:o(

> 
> THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
> 
> Marge Dursley - Brenda Fricker (Although Elizabeth Spriggs, who 
plays 
> the Fat Lady, can take on this role)

Don't know who that is, but I think Terry Jones would be fantastic. 
Failing that, Dawn French (who I want to get into the film in *some* 
way).

> Professor Lupin - Sam Neill could play him but he's Austalian I 
think. 
> Are Australians allowed? If not, then Pierce Brosnan or even Hugh 
> Grant can fill the bill.

I still think Mark Gatis would be excellent as Lupin.

> Sirius Black - The first person who came into my mind for this role 
is 
> Willem Dafoe but he's American so I think Robert Carlyle would be 
the 
> most logical British choice

I can't think of anyone really to play Sirius. Sean Bean's the best I 
can come up with.
.
> Sir Cadogan - Eric Idle or Michael Palin.

Definately one of these two. Absolutely!

> Professor Trelawney - Only one person comes to mind: Tracey Ullman.

I always imagined her as a lot older...sort of Dame Thora Hird, I was 
thinking.

 
> Cedric Diggory - Jamie Bell

I don't think he's right for this part. They'll probably cast an 
unknown (me hopefully ;o) )

> Madame Rosmerta - Kate Winslet

Hmmm...maybe a bit too posh. Best I can come up with though:o)

> Peter Pettigrew - Mark Addy

Who's that? I thought Rowan Atkinson would be good as wormtail...

> 
> THE GOBLET OF FIRE

> Professor Karkaroff - Nigel Hawthorne

Can he do accents though?

> Madame Maxime - Juliette Binoche

Too soft-spoken and good looking, I think.

> Mad Eye Moody - Anthony Hopkins

Oh, he'd be excellent:o)

> Voldemort - Gary Oldman (It'll be good though to retain Ian Hart 
again)

He'd be great...he can be very sinister.

> Mr. Bagman - Stephen Fry

As well as Hugh Laurie?;o) He'd be good, I suppose but I'd prefer 
Graham Norton:o)

> Rita Skeeter - Jane Horrocks

Or Joanna Lumley perhaps?
