Yeah, Rosie *wants* it... But JKR wants an all-British cast.

My personal choice for Mrs. Weasley (as I've said before) is Pauline
Collins of _Shirley Valentine_ fame.

Another weird Collins-Potter connection I discovered: In her old sitcom
_No Honestly!_, Pauline repeatedly refers to her father's fire-breathing
butler as "You-Know-Who".
