Actually, I read recently in a news magazine that JK Rowling is not only
hoping to cast the film entirely with UK actors, but also completely with
unknowns, because this way, the actors will not be identified with any
other character they have previously played. Which I agree with 100%! I
think the film would almost have a little more magic that way.

FYI,and speaking of kids' movies, this is also the way the updated
version of Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is being cast.

Any thoughts anyone?
