Hi! I'm currently reading the first HP book and I'm already hooked.

For the movie, personally I hope Spielberg does it. Not only because
Spielberg is an incredible director with a great vision, but it would
also mean that John Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, Superman, Jurassic Park)
would probably do the score as they almost always work as a team...and
that would be amazing! Williams would give Harry Potter a famous music
theme to go along with everything else it has going for it.

As I'm reading, so far here's what I've come up with for who I would
cast for the roles. You can disagree of course, this is my own personal
opinion:

Hagrid - while he physically wouldn't look the part, I can't help but
hear Sean Connery's voice when I read Hagrid's speech. Costuming can
do a lot though. Then again Mike Myers as Fat Bastard could do it too,
right? Ha ha!

Professor McGonagall - Angelica Huston (Morticia Addams from the Addams
Family, also the evil stepmother in "Ever After"). She'd have sternness
down pat.

Albus Dumbledore - Christopher Lloyd ("Doc" from Back to the Future:
Great Scot!!!)

Professor Snape - can't remember his name but the guy who played the
evil English King in Braveheart.

All the kids are hard to cast because there aren't any famous kid actors
I can recall easily(besides the kid from Sixth Sense who was superb...but
I don't see him as Harry Potter).

Well that's what I've come up with so far. Anyone else have ideas?
