Me:
Ludo Bagman? Broken nose, former public schoolboy? (I don't like the 
look of that Martin Landeman chap at all. Much too Amos Diggory)

I would like to offer a couple of additions to Sara's list:
Richard E. Grant. 
Melodramatic comedy genius of Withnail and I, and a face that ought 
to belong to a wizard. However, I can't fit him in anywhere, thanks 
to Mr Thewlis.

Hugh Laurie.
Stephen Fry's comedy partner, very good at playing bothered, stupid, 
floppy-haired types.

Also, I have a wicked, tricksy little idea that Richard Wilson 
from 'One Foot in the Grave' ought to be playing Phineas Nigellus. 
Not *just* because he says "I don't believe it..."
