American Actors in HP - Ethnicities in HP

>>  Meanwhile, for Lauren's brother-in-law, HP is not anti-American; it's just that America is beside the point in Harry's world.  We Yanks don't like to think of ourselves as being on the sidelines.  But in most of the world, we are.  I think it is childish and arrogant to expect that America is the center of the universe and therefore anything that doesn't represent us as such must be "anti-American". <<
   
  
I thought this post (below) was very gracious - not something, as someone who is English, I would have expected to read written by an American.  I wish that more Americans had your attitude.  

I too see no reason why American actors should be involved in something which is 'so' British, and my only peeve with the books is that aside from the first book, the girls' toilets are continually referred to as the "girls' bathroom".  

Bathrooms have baths in them, public toilets are toilets, not bathrooms.

I am sure there are plenty of American films to go round, so having a British film with British actors is a very nice change.

:O)
