Casting mis-steps

Montavilla47:

Hugh Grant would be a hoot as Wormtail!  True, he's not a blond, but 
that would be the only drawback.

I always imagined Umbridge as being Judi Dench.  I so wanted her to 
play that part--especially if they had left in the cat fight between 
McGonagall and Umbridge.  But, barring that, Imelda Staunton was a
great choice.

As for Keira Knightley as Professor Sprout--I suppose it would 
depend on your conception of the part.  I don't think Madam Sprout
is described much at all, other than being short?  Is she even referred
to as short?  It's not like Keira Knightley can't get muddy.  She was 
very muddy at times in "Pride and Prejudice."
