First of all, this casting discussion will probably be
banned as OT, but I'll take a chance before the admins
become aware, as I simply *love* casting discussions.

Chamber of Secrets
Director          Ron Howard (Willow, Apollo 13)<BR>
Gilderoy Lockhart   Hugh Laurie(Blackadder series)
(IMO perfect as the <BR>
thick, self-obsessed pseudo DADA expert comic relief.
Just watch <BR>
Blackadder III and you'll be convinced)

Laurie is one of my absolutely favourite comic actors,
but Lockhart HAS to be blonde and blue-eyed. If you go
for Python casting, it's doubtlessly Eric Idle,
otherwise I'd take Hugh Grant.

<BR>
Tom Riddle     Josha Jackson (Dawson's creek)<BR>
Dobby     Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr Bean) (no CGI

required! Well, ok then, some...)

I think they will do some animation and it will turn
out like Yoda of star wars II (shudder!!!)

Arthur Weasley Ron Howard (I know there are about a
gazillion 
fine red-haired British actors, but I can't think of
any right now. 
Plus I think it's funny with the director in a small
part) 
Luscius Malfoy Julian Sands (Naked Lunch)

GREAT idea!!!!

<BR>
Cornelius Fudge   Terence Stamp (The Limey, SW Ep
I)/Kenneth Branagh <BR>
(Hamlet, Much ado about nothing)

Well, I'd prefer Ian Holm

<BR>
<BR>
Prisoner of Azkaban
Director    Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy
Hollow) (if 
_he_ doesn't create the creepiness of the dementors,
no one will)<BR>
Sirius Black  Rufus Sewell (Cold Comfort Farm)

What about Daniel Day-Lewis???

Remus Lupin   Hugh Jackman (X-Men)/Ewan MacGregor
(Trainspotting, <BR>
SW Ep I-III) (though Mr Jackman might not want to end
up as the <BR>
human/scary-hairy-predator actor for the rest of his
life)<BR>

I'd prefer James Spader

Wormtail   Steve Buscemi (Fargo, Reservoir Dogs) <BR>

Tiny? Balding? No way!

Goblet of Fire
Director  Guy Ritchie (Lock Stock..., Snatch

For me: Luc Besson

Ludo Bagman   Terry Jones (Monty Python)/Steven Fry
(Wilde, <BR>
Blackadder) (I'd prefer Fry,

So would I!!!!!

 but my aim is to cast all remaining <BR>
Pythons in this series)<BR>
Barty Crouch   Michael Palin (MP) (as I was saying...)

Hermione would say *Honestly!*. No, you can't
possibly! I could imagine Tim  Roth.

<BR>
Bill Weasley   Eric Stoltz (Mask, Pulp Fiction) (the
only cool red-<BR>
haired actor 25-35 yrs I know of, and a great actor,
too)<BR>
Mad-Eye Moody   Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the lambs)
(Need I <BR>
comment on this one?)

No, but what about Gabriel Byrne?

<BR>
Mme Maxime Judi Dench
(Shakespeare in love, The world is not <BR>
enough) (With a little computer help she'll get the
right size)<BR>

Yeah, but not olive-skinned and south-french! And I'm
not sure about Maxime's age, I think Judy dench (whom
I'd loved to see as madam Pomfrey!) wouldn't do.
hagrid falls for her and he's only 53!! Fanny Ardant
would be a nice choice, IMHO.

Karkaroff Stellan
Skarsgard (Aberdeen, Breaking the Waves) (I 
just needed a Swede in the cast) 
Rita Skeeter Jennifer Saunders/Joanna Lumley
(Absolutely fabulous) 
(Either of these will make a perfect sneeking
reporter) 
Fleur Delacoeur Julie
Delpy (Troi Couleurs:Blanc)/Vanessa Paradis 
(Elisa) (Both are beautiful french actresses, and
Paradis might even 
look 17 if she wants) 
Lily Potter Miranda
Richardson (Blackadder, Sleepy Hollow) 
 
That would be my rambling thoughts on the upcoming
films. Does it 
show that I simply adore British comedy (esp Monty
Python and 
Blackadder)?

<clip>

I was a bit 
scared and surprised when I heard Williams was set as
the composer, 
since I constantly heard the works of Danny Elfman
while reading the 
books. Oh well, I guess he'll do the music for PoA...

In fact, I thought it was Elfman when hearing it the
first time. It's so much like Batman II

LOL, Susanna/pigwidgeon37
