Liked watching that interview. . . .allow me to continue to make much
of the difference between Americans and British: when I heard the three
children speaking at the press conference, some part of my brain was
actually surprised that they had British accents(!!) I know this makes me
sound like an idiot--of course when I was reading the books it was always
in the back of my mind that everyone in the story was English, but somehow
the voices in my head always spoke with American accents. I can see now
at least one good point of being able to listen to the books on tape.
As far as putting Rosie O'Donnell in the movie goes, she is not at all
right for the role of Mrs. Weasley, and anyway, they should keep the
cast totally British just on general principle.
