Hope there aren't now about 10 of these cos we've all opened at the same time.

I imagined Tonks as sort of chubby and short, but with a very pretty face. Like a young Dawn French with pink hair But not so big.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 11:46

I think the girl they've got for her looks quite good though. I hope it's good - Umbridge has started to resemble Imelda Staunton when I picture her, which is a good sign.

BandofMuggles · 29/06/2007 11:50

I think Tonks looks lovely in the pictures.
I still pictured Umbridge as very toady and squat, but think IS will perform admirably.
Only 2 weeks to go til the film, and 4 til the book. Can't WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Can anyone think of a Slughorn for film 6? My immediate thought is wotsisname Richard thingy but he plays Uncle Vernon. I think they might have to fat someone up for the role as I can?t think of anyone.

PhoenixSongbird · 29/06/2007 11:58

What I like about the actress playing Tonks is that she looks normal, normal size and everything. I pictured a pixie-like young woman reading the books.

BandofMuggles · 29/06/2007 11:58

No he's bald with a huge pot belly. Hmmm, will have to think about that.
There's someone on the tip of my brain but can't focus.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 12:03

What about the guy who play Siegfried in All Creature Great and Small?

PhoenixSongbird · 29/06/2007 12:13

Nope, he was Fudge! Also, not fat enough.

rosmerta · 29/06/2007 12:14

What about Stephen Fry as Slughorn?

PhoenixSongbird · 29/06/2007 12:15

Ooh, that could work. Have to be older, balder and fatter but I?m sure they could manage that.

MrsWeasley · 29/06/2007 12:27

last night finished book 6 again!
Its just so sad when harry looks around and hermione and ginny are crying . then Hermione and ron are crying, then harry crys then I cry

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 12:32

Oh yes the funeral is so so sad. And Fawkes' song in the grounds after DD dies also makes me weepy.
Of course he was Fudge - sorry. Trying to think of people who look like they live well - too much alcohol and rich food. What about Dickie A?

persephonesnape · 29/06/2007 12:39

slughorn = matt lucas. stephen fry too tall and imposing (and adorable!) .

PhoenixSongbird · 29/06/2007 12:50

You're right, I couldn't cope with Stephen Fry being ludicrous (or head of Slytherin!!!). Matt Lucas would be good, if they could age him well. He was excellent as Toady in Wind in the Willows.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 12:52

Yes I think Matt Lucas would be very good.

rosmerta · 29/06/2007 12:55

another vote for Matt Lucas!

MrsWeasley · 29/06/2007 13:08

does anyone know where you can buy harry potter sweets in the uk (choc frogs, bertie botts beans etc)?

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 13:10

Have you looked online?

AnnieAlcoholLeft · 29/06/2007 13:12

Hi MrsWeasley!
Thank you for my day off yesterday. Dobby had a fab birthday party and I've brought you a slice of his chocolate frog cake. Would you like to have it now, the kettle's boiling?
Fresh cream or ice cream (or both)?

lilibetpotter · 29/06/2007 13:20

Where are the pictures of Tonks?

I think Matt LUcas would be perfect for Slughorn - he really can do creepy

Perhaps we should offer our services to cast the last two films?

MrsWeasley · 29/06/2007 13:33

what a wonderful elf, fresh cream please
Glad Dobby had a good day and you too of course, I hope no-one disgraced themselves!

PhoenixSongbird · 29/06/2007 13:33

Tonks

MrsWeasley · 29/06/2007 13:38

cant find any online in the uk .

I know some shops have done them int he past but havent seen any this time around perhaps I'm too early surely not?

lilibetpotter · 29/06/2007 13:45

to Tonks

Looks a bit posh to say 'Wotcher Arry'

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 29/06/2007 13:47

I think the girl who was the anorexic in Skins would have made a good Luna.
Did not like the Fleur Delacour in the GOF film. Not beautiful, tall or haughty enough.
