<Ahem>. I was the one who proposed Cary Elwes. I can't think of 
another actor who could do it as well.

Mike:"Also, as CoS is the first time we see Arthur Weasley, I'd just 
like to say that if he's not played by Hugh Laurie (probably most 
famous for his roles in Blackadder and the  Jeeves and Wooster TV 
series, I may have to boycott the movie."

Is he the actor that played the policeman in "The Borrowers?" if 
that's him, he would be fine, but my first choice would be Jim Dale.
