Good idea to create a fill in the blank casting list. I'd just like 
to comment on these three suggestions made earlier.

If we could start all over and I could do some recasting, I would 
have made Derek Jacobi Dumbledore, no contest whatsoever. I would not 
choose him for moody. He is an excellent actor and could do anything 
he was asked I'm sure, but I just think he's just a tad soft around 
the edges to make the ulitmate Mad-Eye. I'd rather see either Ian 
McKellen or Anthony Hopkins as Moody.

I don't have a suggestion for who could play Avery--I don't see the 
connection at all (no offense intended) in this casting pick. I'd 
still like to see him in GoF, though, but as Ludo Bagman.

Kathy Bates as Umbridge? YES, YES, YES, YES--ABLSOLUTELY. I actually 
got on line today to look for pictures of her as inspiration for an 
attempted Umbridge portrait...
