Trelawny casting

[Felicia Rickmann]

I can't see Franch & Saunders getting anywhere without it turning into
ho-ho commedy, which this isn't.  They are well known and respected
for what they do, but I have yet to see them do anything sufficiently
serious to merit inclusion.

I do, however, find the suggestion of Emma Thomson interesting.  She
is versatile and with the right props i.e. venomous glasses and a
lethal black wig  could really do the character well.

My image of Professor Trelawny is of someone very much as JKR
describes her i.e. the late Joyce Grenfell, perhaps taller as I get
the impression Professor Trelawny is tall, perhaps someone can quote
passages from canon, I can't sorry 'bout that.

BTW I am not awfully good at giving good reports of films so I hope
GulPlum can give an experienced cinemagoer's view.  Me, I shall only
be able to offer a highly excitable and overwrought view largely based
on ow much screen time my hero (Snape) gets.

I am off now to calm my nerves before tomorrow's visit to CoS......
