There's now a picture of Imelda Staunton posted at:
  Files / Cast Photos / Members' Suggestions 
Unfortunately, it's rather small.  

Pauline Collins, age 60, is way too old to play Mrs Weasley. "Shirley 
Valentine" was made over 12 years ago! Imelda's current age (44) is 
about right.  

A picture of Robbie Coltrane in full costume has been posted in the 
Cast Photos area. It was apparently taken with a telephoto lens 
during recent shooting.  I found it on an HP website and cropped, 
enlarged, and sharpened it somewhat.

Does anybody have the inside scoop on what settings will be used for 
Hogwarts?  Originally it was supposed to be Gloucester Cathedral, but 
now I hear that they are actually filming at Durham!
