Leigh, I agree with you about Gary Oldman (who seems the subject of 
heated debate a few threads below/above)... with respect to your 
other suggestions -

Poor old Sean Bean.. always the villain. As much as I'd like to see 
him on screen in as many movies as possible, I'm just hoping that JKR 
has yet to describe the character he'd be best suited to in the 
remaining three books. I think that he would be better suited to play 
Barty Crouch Jr. over Ludo - I'd always imagined Ludo as the 
archetypal "jock/rugby player" type (with apologies to all jocks &/or 
rugby players out here)... Sean is too slender in build to be too 
convincing as a retired (and presumably wee bit out of shape) ex-
Champion (IMO).An English version of someone like John Travolta is 
someone who'd be better suited (again, IMHO)however I unfortunately 
can't think of someone like this off-hand. Any more suggestions?

> Narcissa Malfoy
> Joanna Lumley would be brilliant at this.

I agree with you though I think that Joely or (probably better) 
Natasha Richardson would also be great at playing "Stuck up blonde 
aristocrat" (wasn't Natasha in "Bridget Jones' Diary?") .. they'd be 
a bit better matched in age with Jason Isaacs too (though evil is 
ageless, I guess!).Kristin Scott-Thomas has been somewhat typecast in 
the past as a snooty aristocrat so I think that it would be a *bit* 
boring seeing her do it all again.
