& she won't even be too old by the time they film OoP!  

I add:
Actually, this isn't the first time I've heard Keira Knightley's name in relation to HP. She's a bit of a rising star in the UK - was in The Hole, which I believe hasn't been released in cinemas yet in the US? She is also in Love Actually, the directorial debut of Richard Curtis, released this summer and looks set to be the new Notting Hill/Four Weddings (despite the inclusion of Martine McCutcheon...) and popped up in Episode I as one of Natalie Portman's handmaids. 

Anyway, when I've heard her mentioned before, it's been in reference to Fleur! She's blonde, British, and very very pretty - I once saw a pic of her that was amazingly Veelaesque. If anyone wants to see her Fleur credentials, her character in The Hole, Frankie, is extremely Fleur-like (in one storyline, anyway - can't really say much more without ruining that movie, which is very good).

For those of you who don't know what she looks like, I'd imagine a search engine, particularly if you search for Pirates of the Caribbean, will bring up loads of pics. She's the secret love child of Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder, but blonde.
