No,no,no. As I have stated several times he should play Ludo Bagman. 
The description fits, he has the right persona and attitude for the 
character, and it would dodge a lot of awkward questions younger 
viewers would be asking their parents.Parents might feel it would 
scar their little psyches.

>From what little I have seen of Ruby Wax she does seem very fit for 
the part.Can she do an English accent? And if not, who cares? If 
Tracey Ullman isn't cast as Trelawny (if I spelled that wrong, sorry) 
she would be good too. 

I think if Eddie Izzard is Rita then it would pigeon hole him even 
more as a transvestite actor/comedian and I think he's trying to get 
away from being known primarily for that. My friends and I have just 
about worn out my 'Dress to Kill' DVD.
