IMHO Speilburg would have been a disaster: He would have depended on
special effects and probably wanted to Americanize everything.

Here are my cast choices:

Hermione: Brittney Irvin (Played Nan in the TV show LITTLE MEN)

Dumbledore: Sean Connery (At first glance he seems too macho, but my
dad says his recent typecasting in "James Bond"-type roles belies his
versitility as an actor... BTW if there are any Douglas Adams fans here
I understand Connery is on the short list to play Dumbledore's possible
long-lost twin, Slartibartfast.)

Hagrid: Brian Blessed

Prof. McGonagall: Maggie Smith (with her "Miss Jane Brodie" Scottish
accent)

Prof. Flitwick: Billy Barty

Prof. Sprout: Angela Lansbury

Snape: Nigel Hawthorne

Quirrell: Derek Jacobi (Best stutterer in British drama)

Filch: Chris Barrie (I know some people like John Cleese in this role but
I see Filch with flaring nostrils and a voice that's "67% more wavily")

Peeves: Eric Idle

Sir Cadogan: John Cleese (Good suggestion, angelx_ph!)
