Weird. I was just thinking of Branagh and trying to find him a role. 
I agree he could easily pull off Lockhart (although he's not pretty 
enough. Ummm.. well, he's not pretty at all, really, is he?). 
However, for some reason I see him as Cornelius Fudge. Don't know 
why, exactly. Anyway, he's a great actor and could pull off 
practically any role he takes. 
What really bugs me, BTW, is that there is no part (that I can think 
of) for Emma Thompson. She is so right for the HP world and such a 
wonderful actress (and she's British!) - it really is a pity. 

Oh, and another thing - is there any news on who will play Lily?

Naama, who walked her dogs for an hour while wearing her brains out 
trying to cast Lily..
