British actors for HP

[Felicia Rickmann]

I think, putting it bluntly, they want actors with English accents - not faux English accents that keep slipping, perhaps that and the conviction that most English actors are stage based - not all American actors give that impression.

  Oh, please, let's not get too picky either... I assume "british 
  actors" means not "born exclusively in Great Britain" but "who speak 
  british at native level and have a british attitude". Which of course 
  Zoe Wannamaker has, if she's lived in UK since the 50's!
