Oooh, nice! I like Adewale Akinnuoye-Abaje, although I have never 
seen the Mummy Returns, so I don't actually know who he is.

Kinglsey is kindof a...special character for me, because he is the 
only person in the Potterverse who I *immediatly* cast in my mind as 
a movie actor. I saw as Kinglsley was Lawrence Fishbourne, 
particularly in his movie version of Othello when he, like Kingsley, 
was bald with a hoop earring. I know, I know, he's not British, so he 
probably won't be cast. I think that's a bummer.

The only person I think Hugh ever had a shot at was Lockhart, and 
well, that part is no longer available :-)
