I, unfortunately, walked by a group of tv sets in a department store 
one afternoon when Rosie was on. Julie Andrews was the guest and 
Rosie did the WORST "English" accent I've ever heard! She sounded 
like a Valley Girl with a cold. *shivers*

I'm very happy that they are sticking to a British cast. I love the 
BCC comedy and dramatic imports my PBS station shows. In fact, when I 
first read the Aunt Petunia parts, I was reminded of Hyacinth Bucket 
(pronounced "Boo-kay") from the series "Keeping Up Appearances". lol 
I keep arguing with a friend of mine that Trevor Eve ("Mr. Murdstone" 
in "David Copperfield") would make a decent Lucius Malfoy.
