[HPFGU-Movie] New poll for HPFGU-Movie

>>But there isn't an all-British cast. Even excepting american Eleanor
Columbus as Susan Bones, the kid who plays Dean, iirc, was born in Brazil
but is a British citizen and Chris Rankin is from New Zealand. The cast is
*primarily* British but only a very very lose definition - that the
Commonwealth countries are "British". And under that definition, Canadians
would count - but so would Aussies like Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe.

Well, not necessarily Heidi,
The character of Susan Bones was technically an extra, and the others (I
believe) are like Zoe Wannamaker in that they are registered as British
citizens and live in Britain. No one would (or should) call a commonwealth
citizen a Brit, unless the part of the commonwealth they live in is actually
Britain.
my personal view is that Rowling is right to restrict the cast to being
British in this respect. I shudder at the thought of what would have
happened if Spielberg had got his way and cast Haley-Joel Osmont as Harry
Potter!

Just my two knuts, Dom
