It's been awhile since I read GoF, so I may be wrong,
but I've always imagined Bagman to be a bit pudgy in
his post-Quidditch days - but still with a rather
boyish, good-time-loving, good-humored face. I picked
Mark Addy (from "The Full Monty") as a good candidate
for Ludo. For the other characters, I instantly
imagined Brian Cox ("The Bourne Identity" and a
million other things) as Mad-Eye Moody - maybe because
he seemed to be of the right age and because when he
played Uncle Argyle in "Braveheart", he had one blind,
milky-white eye. I could imagine either Emma Thompson
or Jennifer Saunders as Trelawney (both would be good
for Rita Skeeter too). And my pick for Narcissa Malfoy
has always been Kristen Scott-Thomas. I know she's
played haughty snob a dozen times at least, but she's
just so good at it! Her role in "Gosford Park" as the
self-obsessed, cold, vain, greedy, dog-kicking widow
just screams "Draco's mom!" to me.
