Casting rumours: Arthur Weasley & Professor Sprout article

[katrionabowman]

Hi all from KT in Seattle,

A little snippet I picked up on IMDB.com this morning:

Mark Williams is listed as playing Arthur Weasley on their cast list 
for CoS. Us Brits probably know him best as the second "Suits You!" 
character in BBC's "The Fast Show" (the other being Paul Whitehouse). 
Americans may recognise him in the same role in BBC 
America's "Brilliant" or as the exterminator in "The Borrowers" 
movie. I think he was also one of the incompetent puppy catchers 
in "101 Dalmations."

In addition, the following article on Miriam Margolyes (with several 
photos) is currently on the BBC News website, and mentions her 
casting as Professor Sprout:

(you may have to cut'n'paste parts of this link separately in order 
to reach the article).
