American Actors in HP - Ethnicities in HP

[Marianne S.]

You couldn't have been looking at IMDB for GRIPHOOK the Goblin because that
was indeed Verne Troyer, not Warwick Davis. He plays FLitwick and the
Bank Teller, but not the Goblin that escorts Harry and Hagrid to the vault.
THAT, again, was the American Verne Troyer.

And yes, Chris Columbus had ALL his kids play bit parts in the movies he directed. 
One of themwas in one of the moving portraits on the walls in the school. 
But I believe thediscussion is about American Actors playing speaking 
roles that are important to the plot. I am an American, and I certainly don't 
mind if all those parts are played by Brits when they are able to find British 
Actors who fit the roles so well.
