I was just thinking about the movie Titanic the other day, and a few
casting ideas occurred to me. Don't worry, I'm *not* going to suggest
Leonardo DiCaprio as Harry <g>, or even Lockhart. Although, despite his
dark hair, I can easily see Billy Zane as Lockhart.

Anyway, who I was really thinking of was Kate Winslett. Wouldn't she be
great in a cameo role as Lily Potter? The description of Lily can easily
fit Kate, and she's probably about the age Lily was when she died. And,
for as little as Lily appears (pictures, the Mirror of Erisid, her voice
when the Dementors appear), Kate wouldn't have to take much time out
for filming. Or maybe I'm subconciously still thinking of that thread
last month about Lily Potter being on the Titanic.

Also, remember the two little Irish children, The ones who were in bed
when the ship sank, with their mother telling them a story? I don't know
how old they are now, but I thought they might make a good Ron and Ginny.

Just a little more food for casting thought.
