Someone (can't work out who, as there were too many arrows in the 
way. Could everyone please start snipping to make things a bit 
clearer?) offered this particular group up as a "list in progress" on 
this thread:
> > > Maxine - Fanny Ardant
> > > Karakoff - 
> > > Crouch - Roger Moore
> > > Crouch Jr - Ewan McGregor
> > > Moody - Sean Connery
> > > Trelawney - Emma Thompson or Helena Bonham-Carter
> > > Narcissa - Miranda Richardson
> > > Frank Bryce - John Gielgud (He is still alive, isn't he?)
> > > Figg - Vanessa Redgrave
> > > Umbridge - Judi Dench
> > > Bellatrix - Kristin Scott-Thomas or Catherine Zeta Jones
> >  
> > Rita Skeeter - Helen Mirren
> > Tonks - Kate Winslet

What awful casting choices! Half of these actors appear to have been 
chosen only because they are British and roughly about the right age. 
I only agree with the Bellatrix and Narcissa ideas, although Sean 
Connery and Ewan MacGregor are possibles (Ewan MacGregor would make a 
much better Bill Weasley, though). Roger Moore particularly appals 
me. And Kate Winslet could never play Tonks. Surely, surely, SURELY 
this isn't the final list? Or even a list composed of the ideas of 
several people? Isn't this just one person's vague recollection of a 
few actors who happen to be British?
Kirstini, ill and therefore vicious.
