Everytime I read the books I always envisioned the following actors
playing the different characters:

Dumbledore - Sir Richard Attenborough (though he may be a tad too old
but he does have that "twinkle" in his eyes) or Richard Harris (the old
emperor in "Gladiator).

Lupin - Sam Neill

McGonagall - Miranda Richardson would be wonderful as the Gryffindor head
(though I wouldn't say no to Glenn Close)

Vernon Dursley - Robbie Coltrane (I know he's being considered for Hagrid
but I think he looks more like an Uncle Vernon to me).

Petunia Dursley - Joanna Lumley

Snape - Tim Roth would've been great as Snape. But now he's more likely
to go with "Planet of the Apes", I think Rowan Atkinson or Alan Rickman
would be perfect substitutes.

Sirius Black - I see Willem Dafoe taking this role but since he's American
and a lot of you want British then maybe I'll go with Rufus Sewell.

Trelawney - Only ONE actress can play this role: TRACEY ULLMAN.

Voldemort - The perfect guy is GARY OLDMAN.

Moody - Lance Henriksen (the guy in "Millenium") but since he's American
then it'll probably be Anthony Hopkins.
