[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Your favorite actor/actress in HP movies

[Nightbreed]

Tonks hair was short in the book, so I never would see Kate Winslet with
short hair like that (think the cover of the U.S. hardcover.) I also don't
think of Tonks as having Kate's rather broad, physical build. Not saying
that Kate's not a beautiful woman, but I never and don't see her as Tonks.

I don't think the actress that plays her even comes close physically to the
description in the book and I don't like the long hair.  

Maybe Kate Beckinsale. I could see her as Tonks.

Interesting you would mention Kate Winslet there, Red. When I was thinking 
of the upcoming HBP and possible actors for newly introduced characters, one

of my possible choices was having Kate Winslet as Merope Riddle. I also 
thought of Josie Lawrence as another possibility. That's all in terms of 
British actresses I can name who I could possibly picture as Merope. Anyone 
else have any idea? It seems Merope may not appear in the movie, but it's 
still fun to think about.
