So long as the relevant actors can do the right accent, I don't see the 
problem with non-British actors at all. Kenneth Brannagh is Northern Irish 
but speaks in a perfect English accent - I reckon most good American actors 
would be able to do the same.

Anyway, my opinion on casting:

Dumbledore - anyone other than Ian McKellen and I will be disappointed - 
IMO he is the best actor working today, and would make a better Dumbledore 
than Richard Harris did.

Sirius - Viggo Mortensen is front runner for me, though I haven't seen him 
in anything other than LotR, so I don't know how good an actor he actually 
is. IMO most of the other actors suggested are too young, too 
heart-throbby, or both (I've thought Viggo would be the perfect Sirius 
since reading Prisoner of Azkaban for the first time, but the idea of him 
being a sex symbol didnt occur to me until it got mentioned in this thread: 
no accounting for tastes, and all that *grin*). I think he will be the 
easiest of the new roles to play - there is certainly depth to him, but he 
is pretty straightforward character.

Lupin - Tricky one, but I could really see Ralph Fiennes in this role. 
Maybe also Gary Oldman. For some reason I am thinking Sean Pertwee, too.

Peter - I could see Gary Oldman as Peter, too.
