When I started reading Harry Potter and met Minerva McGonagall for the
first time my immediate reaction was that she would be a sort of Miss
Jean Brodie[1] but less neurotic and more down to earth. Maggie Smith
is a brilliant, brilliant actress and would be perfect in the part -
but that's not to say she is the only actress who would be perfect. Judi
Dench had also been rumoured - another brilliant actress. I'm not sure
how I pictured Hagrid - but Robbie Coltrane works for me. Alan Rickman
would be a wonderful Snape - perhaps better looking than I had imagined
Snape but I have no problem with that!

time ago starring Maggie Smith.
