Eddie:

* No offense to Michael Gambon, but it would have been sweet to have
had Richard Harris play Dumbledore for all 7 movies.

* No offense to Julie Christie, who was excellent and beautiful in
Doctor Zhivago and Fahrenheit 451 but she is about 35 years older than
I ever imagined Madame Rosmerta being, let alone somebody Ron would
get the hots for.  So, I'd pick instead... Julie Christie from about
35 years ago.


Everybody else seems pretty much spot-on already.  Replace Maggie
Smith as McGonagall, Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid (JKR's own fantasy
choice), Alan Rickman as Snape, Timothy Spall as Pettigrew / Wormtail?
 These are indelibly stamped in my imagination.
