Casting Summary--Fill in the Blanks

[Kitty MacFarlane]

>  > > Maxine - Fanny Ardant

good call!!!


> > > > Crouch - Roger Moore

not him. Anyone but him.

> > > > Crouch Jr - Ewan McGregor

Sean Bean

> > > > Moody - Sean Connery

No, lets have the truly mad Tom Baker. Who can forget his Captain
Redbeard Rum in Blackadder II?

> > > > Trelawney - Emma Thompson or Helena Bonham-Carter

neither wafty enough. I vote for Jane Horrocks (Bubble in AbFab) or or
Sophie Thompson in her finest Miss Bates mode. 

> > > > Narcissa - Miranda Richardson

yes good
> > > > Frank Bryce - John Gielgud (He is still alive, isn't he?)

Who cares about Frank Bryce? 

> > > > Figg - Vanessa Redgrave

yes, good. 

> > > > Umbridge - Judi Dench

good but much too old. I'd like to see Jennifer Saunders play Umbridge.
She is soooo good at that fake sugary tone of voice.

> > > > Bellatrix - Kristin Scott-Thomas or Catherine Zeta Jones

Kristen has the hooded eyes. Give her dark hair and shes got it.

 
> > > Rita Skeeter - Helen Mirren

Please! Lets have Joanna Lumley. So much more fun. 

> > > Tonks - Kate Winslet

No! 

Also, Ludo Bagman MUST be played by Martin Clunes. Who else could
portray that dodgy, getting desparate, gambling, gone-to-seed athlete
so well?
