I really enjoyed looking at those images from the film.

The one of the three kids in the playground looks really great.  Rupert
Grint does seem to be a bit taller than Dan Radcliffe, if not "gangly".

Why all this puzzlement over the kid with the Hufflepuff badge?  I thought
he had a yellow and black tie Shouldn't there be a Hufflepuff student in
any particular scene? I'm confused!

The one of the Sorting Hat scene is interesting.  Richard Harris looks
brilliant.  Maggie Smith also looks cool, but is she not wearing the glasses
McGonagall supposedly wears all the time?  The figure that appears to be
Alan Rickman has suitably long, black hair.  The guy to his right puzzles me
though.  It can't be Flitwick - Warwick Davis is, I think, well under 4ft
tall and this guy looks to be of normal height and quite young.   It could
be Sinistra, if we assume that he's a man (probably not); he's too young for
Binns and probably too young for Kettleburn (who also sounds like an old
dodderer).  So, it must be the professor who teaches Ancient Runes or Muggle
Studies or some other thing we haven't come across yet.

Apart from the twins, who will probably be played by unknowns (real twins or
camera trickery?), I'm *dying* to know who is playing Poppy Pomfrey and
Professor Sprout - anyone know?  This week, I'd like Miriam Margolyes to
play Pomfrey and Pam Ferris to play Sprout.  Are these actors known outside
the UK?   Margolyes played the Nurse in the recent version of Romeo and
Juliet, but shes been in loads of things. Pam Ferris played the
headmistress in Matilda, but some may know her from TV series, The
Darling Buds of May.

Thinking of Pam in "The Darling Buds of May", I think David Jason (who
played Pop Larkin) should be in the film somewhere - maybe as Binns or
Fudge.  He's one of the best character actors we have.  Hywell Bennett is
another possibility for Fudge - he has just the right sort of smarmy voice.

I've also found a much better picture of Tom Felton, with his natural blond
hair.  It's not hard to see why he was cast as Draco Malfoy!

Ive added pictures of all the above to the respective sections of our
images club.
