A bit more on recent casting rumours...

Going back to that quote from Ian Hart, it's interesting that, in the 
interview with him, he talks about playing Lord Voldemort rather than 
Quirrell (the role obviously being a double-header in the first 
story).  I wonder if this means he will portray Voldemort only in 
future films?

I see Jim has added a pic of Leslie Phillips to the images files.  
Phillips has been rumoured to playing the voice of The Sorting Hat -  
another inspired casting choice if it's true.  I'd say his voice is 
not unlike that of Jim Dale and these reminders of the "Carry On.." 
films make me think that Kenneth Williams would have been great fun
as the Sorting Hat.  He's dead, of course.

I've been trying to confirm the reports that Julie Walters is playing 
Molly Weasley.  Filmforce (which has been wrong before) seems pretty 
sure about it.  The only other evidence I have is the fact that she 
said she'd been invited to play the part... but that might have been 
their source too.

Didn't someone mention (or perhaps I read somewhere) that they'd 
completed filming the zoo scenes at London Zoo?  I guess we should
add that to the London end of the HP tour, if that ever happens.
