And that, my dear American friends,  is exactly how it should be.  No,
no and thrice no !!! We in the UK have plenty of talented actors who are
more than capable of pulling in the crowds for all four films. I think
that these films will sell themselves regardless of who plays what. I
really don't think that the films will be of interest to adults who have
not read the books and kids aren't normally ( in my experience ) that
bothered by big star names.

In my view the thought of any big American name being involved fills me
with dread and I fully expect JKR to put her foot down as often as is
necessary.
