Casting OoP

I've just beat a hasty retreat from the main list, and thought I'd 
butt in here with my ideas. Hope you don't mind...

Dolores Umbridge - Imelda Staunton (Peter's Friends, Twelfth Night), 
or Helen Mirren (I know she's a bit tall, but my partner and I have 
been trying to work out if there's anyway we can get the entire cast 
of Gosford Park joining Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith and Geraldine 
whatserfface, who we've just worked out plays Lily Evans - although 
short of a last minute Thewlis/Oldman walkout, there isn't really 
any room for Richard E Grant or Clive Owens...)

Tonks - Emily Watson (see above). Charlotte Coleman from Four 
Weddings would be *perfect*, but unfortunately died last year.

Bellatrix Lestange (I know she isn't technically a *new* character, 
but we've seen so much more of her in OoP that I thought I'd bung 
her in anyway) - Kristin Scott Thomas, or Catherine Zeta Jones 
(purely on the basis of a tiny bit in the awful America's 
Sweethearts, where she does a very Bella facial expression)

I also have casting ideas for two particular characters from GoF, 
and I justify bunging them in here by the fact that they were in the 
Order...
Bill Weasley - Ewan MacGregor. With a ginger ponytail. Mmhmm.
Mad-Eye - Billy Connelly.

Sorry to intrude, but I had to get this out of my system somhow...
