I'm not surprised you struggled! 

I'm no expert on Muppets (despite the fact that I used to go out with
someone who worked for the Jim Henson creature workshop - don't go there),
but there was this big hairy mammoth thing that would have to be Hagrid.
Wouldn't Elmo be more like Dobby? Can't think of a Ron, but then this IS
quite a stretch.  Why, pray tell, Miss Piggy as Parvati?  

Oh yeah: Big Bird as Madame Maxime!
