Nymphadora Tonks / Anna Friel

[Sarah]

I've just been reading on Mugglenet that she would love to play the 
part.  I remember months ago we had a discussion about who could play 
her with ideas ranging from Alice the Verger (Vicar of Dibley) to 
Scarlet in four weddings (Who wouldn't be able to do it on account of 
being sadly no longer with us).  Anna Friel would be fab (although to 
some of us she will always be the lesbian who had an affair with the 
neighbour's nanny and murdered her abusive father, burying him under 
the patio, only to be discovered some time later by Sinbad the window 
cleaner) (and you thought American soaps were way over the top!)
Apart from the fact she is Mrs David Thewlis, which would come in 
handy when we get to the film version of HBP, she would actually 
quite easily become the image of Tonks (which, admittedly does change 
on a frequent basis).  I can really see her with bubblegum pink hair.
What do you guys think?
Sorry if I sound over-excited but I've been watching the trailer for 
GoF and I'm sooooo looking forward to it I can barely contain 
myself!  It looks like so much more money has been spent, the effects 
look brilliant and the acting improves with every installment (well, 
it had to didn't it?) But Mad-Eye has an Irish accent - is he Irish 
(in the books I mean, I know Brendan Gleeson is).  Not that I 
care ... I jusy can't wait.

Sarah (thoroughly excited and delirious, and possibly needs to cut 
down on the coffee and Dairy Milk and start working day shifts again!)
