I can see Charles Dance as Lucius Malfoy, but I agree with whoever 
said he was a little, er...."mature" for the part.

Peter Davison? No way, IMO, 'cause I remember him mainly as Tristan 
on "All Creatures Great and Small" and as one of the Dr. Who's.

My reason for Trevor Eve is mainly based on his Murdstone portrayal 
and that series "The Heat of the Sun" (although he was a "good-guy" 
in that one).

As for James Potter, I think Philip Bretherton (Alastair on "As Time 
Goes By") would be suitable...but he's a bit too old for the role too.

I can't remember who played Grant on "East Enders" but maybe he would 
make a good MacNair the Executioner? Or maybe Robson Green?
