Prof. Trelawney? Ok, she's a fantastic actress but I can't help but 
think JKR's insistance on using British actors has gone too far this 
time. 

I was disappointed because she's a famous actress (I have a sneaking
suspicion that when the last book is made into a movie, Hugh Grant will be
playing Harry).  My pick for Trelawney would have been the actress who
plays 'Miss Bat' on The Worst Witch (HBO).  Her name is Una Stubbs.  I
don't know if she's British, but she plays the dreamy, 'head in the
clouds' type perfectly!
