For the thrid time, still obsessed with Harry Potter

Hope you find this ladies!

I have only seen Victoria Smurfit in a few things and in those she seems a bit too harsh, could she play the subservient wifey type?

Nigel Planer would be great, but Fry could also do xeno and it wouldn't matter if he overacted in that role.
Victoria Smurfit would be a good cissy, thought she was younger tho.

Last month when it was Harry and JKR's birthday they said he would be 27, I think.

Mark Gatiss, another suggestion for Xeno Lovegood. Very good actor and fricking hilarious. His book, The Vesuvius Club is really funny.

There are loads of new characters in the 6th book (Slughorn, Scrimgeour, Voldemorts mother, uncle and grandfather etc) and several more who become important but have been missed out of the film versions (Lavendar Brown, Blaise Zabini etc) They were holding open auditions for Lavendar and the young Tom Riddle in the orphanage.

I agree about Matt Lucas as, like someone else said, I see Slughorn rather like Toad in Wind in the Willows. I think that Brian Blessed would overact beyond belief!

Ooh, that was me! He?d be great wouldn?t he? I saw Slughorn as slightly effeminate in the books, asexual at least, so Matt Lucas would definitely be good. Brian Blessed is too masculine and booming ? he might have made a good Hagrid if he could tone down his theatricals! I still think Billy Connolly for Scrimgeour!

Billy Connolly would make a good Scrimgeour, I reckon. But then, for me, whoever they put in will work. I think that I have totally accepted everyone mainly because I'm of the mind that the books and the films are 2 separate things. So, it doesn't matter who they put in, it will work for me!

I didn't realise that Draco Malfoy was played by someone so much older than the others. And people comment on Daniel Radcliffe et al!

Just read on Mugglenet that "Jim Broadbent has confirmed that he will be playing the role of Slughorn in Half-Blood Prince"

for all potter fans : Just read on Mugglenet that "Jim Broadbent has confirmed that he will be playing the role of Slughorn in Half-Blood Prince"

Billy Connolly couldn't be Scrimgeour, he's already Nearly Headless Nick.

John Cleese is Nearly Headless Nick!
Can sort of see Jim Broadbent as Slughorn, found a pic here of him with a fairly fine tash - that could be cultivated into a walrus mustache, add a padded waistcoat and he might pull it off

He did mention that he has been for lots of costume fittings and will be wearing padding!

Lavender Brown has already been in a film, she was in PoA.

I did remember reading that one of the girls who played a minor role in one of the early films was not asked back again because of her terrible attitude. Had assumed it was LB.

OMG! I really thought that was Billy Connolly! Just shows what a wild curly wig can do!

It has to be Hermione Norris for Cissy.

She would be perfect

Jim Broadbent would be good as Slughorn, think of him as Harry Ziegler (sp?) in Moulin Rouge!

Did I kill the thread?

Haha, I?m still ?watching? this thread but I?ve run out of things to add! I?m always disappointed when there?s nothing new, though.

Now look what's happened! It's been so long with no Harry chat that I've lost my phoenix!

Will he be reborn?

Haha, if JKR writes another HP book, he may well be

Hello - Albus here. Anyone else missing it as much as me?

I am, hi Albus! But I guess we have pretty much talked HP to death

We have but surely there is more to his story. Would like to know more about characters such as Fred, Hagrid, Draco as well.

Well, we did start off writing our own HP so perhaps we could do one around the more minor characters?

Wow - can't believe this thread is still here - feels all comfy and home like

Can I confess something? Earlier I was reading a thread about trying for another baby if you have 3 of the same sex, just in case you get one of the other (IYSWIM) and I so nearly quoted the bit in Deathly Hallows where the horcrux tells Ron he's the 'least wanted of 7 sons'! But I didn't think others on the thread would appreciate it

Anyway - I like Jim Broadbent for Slughorn. You see, the problem we have with guessing who is going to play the different parts is that there are soooo many fantastic actors out there it is impossible to guess!

Oh, and while I'm confessing, I also thought that Billy Connolly played Nearly Headless Nick, but I googled it before I posted
