poll re: all-British cast

> What are your thoughts on maintaining 
> an all-British cast

Sorry to reply to this message instead of just
voting but none of the choices reflect my
opinion: as long as JKR prefers an all-Brit cast,
then I hope the filmmakers respect her wishes.

I give JKR's preference much weight, not just
because she holds sway over all things HP but
also because the depth of the talent pool that is
British thespians makes her preference a
reasonable one.

Arguably there are many British actors who
fulfill the requirements of each of the roles yet
to be cast.  If the qualifications are equal,
there's no case to be made on behalf of a
non-Brit.  To cast a non-Brit at this point,
after casting all the major parts with Brits,
could be seen as slighting Brit thesps in
general.

I know I've read in other interviews of JKR's
preference in regards to an all-Brit cast but the
following is the only one I found at the archives
