Trelawny casting

< 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.>
 
<< Nah... She's far too sweet. Besides, my favourite Emma Thompson 
role was in "Truly Madly Deeply" opposite You-Know-Who :-) and I 
wouldn't be able to get that character out of my mind. My imagination 
isn't all *that* limited, though, because I didn't expect Snape to 
pull a cello from somewhere. :-) >>

Sorry to get a bit o/t, but I think you may be confusing Emma 
Thompson with Juliet Stephenson who starred opposite Alan Rickman in 
Truly, Madly Deeply.  I checked the IMDB, and Emma wasn't listed as a 
cast member of that film, nor was it mentioned on her list of credits.

I agree, she's a bit sweet for Rita Skeeter, but it would be 
interesting to see her play against type.
