  Hey, forget Hollywood celebs - who would you cast for Harry Potter from the
  Warner Bros. animated toon characters?  Here are my selections:

  Harry - Daffy Duck  (Daffy just *loves* to play the hero, whether its Robin
  Hood, Drip-Along Daffy, Duck Dodgers in the 24 ½ Century, the Scarlet
  Pumpernickel, etc)

  Ron - Porky Pig (Porky is the Quintessential Sidekick)

  Hermione - Kitty (the object of Pepe Le Pew's affections - hey, the first
  generation of WB characters does not offer a plethora of strong female
  characters )

  Tom Riddle/Voldemort - Bugs Bunny ("Ain't I a stinker?" Bugs is so slick
  that he can always con anyone about anything; what better actor to portray
  the greatest Dark Wizard of our times?)

  Wormtail: How about one of the annoying Goofy Gophers?  ("Take politeness to
  the point of pathology," writes Steve Schneider (in The Art of WB Animation)
  in describing the Gophers)

  Dumbledore - Elmer Fudd  ("Be vewy vewy quiet - I'm hunting Dahk Lohds.oh,
  boy! Dahk Lohd Twacks!"  Hey, Elmer once played Siegfried from Wagner's
  Ring)

  Severus Snape - Yosemite Sam ("Ah hate that Potter!")

  Hagrid - The Tazmanian Devil

  Sirius Black- Marvin the Martian (his Animagi is K-9)

  Gilderoy Lockhart - Foghorn Leghorn (ego-trippin')

  Prof. Lupin - Wile E. Coyote (every month, Homo Sapiens transforms into
  Carnivorous Vulgaris)

  Fawkes (The Phoenix) - The Roadrunner

  The Dursleys: Let's try "The Three Bears,"  the momma, papa and baby bear
  from the Chuck Jones series (1944-51)

  Draco Malfoy - Henery Hawk

  Cornelius Fudge - Pepe Le Pew

  Prof. Trelawney - Miss Prissy ("E-Yessss..")

  Dobby the Elf - Tweety Bird (" I did taw a ditcarded tock!")

  Mad-Eye Moody - Sylvester ("Thuffering Cruthio!")


  And if we were to go to a later generation of WB 'toons, who better to
  portray Voldy than that most ominous of genetically-altered lab mice, The
  Brain.  Maybe Pinky could play Wormtail.  "Gee, Voldy, whaddya wanna do
  tonight?" "Same thing we do every night, Wormtail: Try to take over JKR's
  narrative!")
