I Googled Trelawney + casting and the only name I turned up was Emma 
Chambers, who's the only person I've heard of connected to the role 
before.  The Leaky Cauldron reported in July '01 that someone had 
said Chambers was up for the role with this information:

Apparently she was doing a sort of interview in a London book shop, 
where she told the audience that "she had been approached about 
playing a humouros role in a popular series based on a book that is 
yet to come out. She said that it was a Warner Brothers film and that 
she would most likely start in 2003 by the way things are going, and 
that it was a third installment."

TLC immediately added that this was a perfect example of how rumors 
start.  The words "Harry Potter" didn't even appear, still 
less "Trelawney."  But it does sound good, doesn't it?
