| It's very clear with most of the actors, that different people have
| very different views about how they rate the performance, but I
| think it unfair to blame any perceived shortcomings in Thompson's
| performance on the fact that JKR wanted British actors. I personally
| believe that was to ensure the films retained their basic British
| character and not to be unduly Americanised. There still are phrases
| which I do not believe an English child would say, but on the whole,
| the films have retained the basic character of the books.

[Lee]:
Curiosity striketh...to what phrases do you refer?  Curious American minds
who love "Brit speak" want to know. :-)

Cheers,
