Miscellaneous Actor Speculation v4

I'm ok with Luna ,but'll be very sad if they cut Trelawney scene ,for they are really important to me . Much more tan centaurs or other creatures ...

Coltrane has been rumored to be less than enthralled with the part for a while. However, he is (after Dumbledore) perhaps the easiest character to replace without anybody noticing: the actor playing the part is so buried under prosthetics, makeup and hair that the face cannot really be seen, and the voice is so affected that any good actor would be able to affect it. One might notice the difference if one watched the movies back-to-back, but 95% of the audience will not have seen Hagrid in 18 months. It would be like Dumbledore, where the vast majority of the audience did not even notice the switch.

After discussion with one of my fellow film fanatics we came up with the following opinion on this.

Me: by the way I brought up the fact that Coletrain might quit the potter series on Chamber of Secrets
9:56:05 PM Friend: ya did, yes
9:56:43 PM Me: the only response I got is that it would not matter because he is not recognizable under all the prosthetics and coustume.
9:56:48 PM Me: what do you think
9:57:02 PM Friend: that's not true
9:57:06 PM Me: I think that is a load of rubbish and that there would be a noticeable difference
9:57:13 PM Friend: that's like saying you can't tell between the dumbeldores!
9:57:48 PM Friend: it's not like flitwick where you could change them up and there wouldn't be any noticin
9:58:07 PM Me: it was noticed when williams was replaced with someone else in Aladdin II
9:58:18 PM Friend: guy who does the voice of homer
9:58:24 PM Friend: for the simpsons
9:58:26 PM Friend: forgot his name
9:58:29 PM Me: same here

Mugglenet has just posted a picture of Susie Shinner, rumoured to have been cast as young Lily Potter:

Mugglenet has just posted a picture of Susie Shinner, rumoured to have been cast as young Lily Potter:
Well, no wonder all the fellas had a thing Lily! Hubba Hubba!

You know, it's good that our Luna is a fan of HP, because it might just help her portrait her character better. I think they dyed her hair too blond... she almost looks like Draco's little sister! But I guess we really need to see other pics and wait till we see her act, to really judge her. :)


Yeah, my first impression was, "Oh she looks like Malfoy in a wig!"

I'm not too sure how i feel about Susie Shinner. She's pretty yeah, but not how i pictured Lily. She looks kinda old to be honest. Just as long as they keep the hair red and hopefully the bright green eyes and her acting skills superb i'll support her

Knowing that the 5th film is going to begin filming tomorrow, some one should really get their camara and get to the location and take some pics. I know, not a new idea, but I think it would make everyone very, very happy to see some pics.

Is this young Lilly Evans she is rumored to have been casted for?

Is Susie Shiner the same woman that played Lily in the Sorcer's Stone in the mirror scene? what about James?

I don't know, I think she looks like a very naturally pretty teenager - perfect for Lily :)

Is Susie Shiner the same woman that played Lily in the Sorcer's Stone in the mirror scene?

Nope, she isn't.

That's ok though, that woman was way too old. (Not dissing her acting or anything !), but she was age appropriate for Harry age 12, but she actually died at 22.

The young Lily looks a lot older than Hermione and Ginny. Bustier. But maybe I've been spending too much time with my legos.

The good news is that they are clearly giving importance to Snape's Worst Memory. I wonder if that means we see all these actors again for Book 7. I'd love to know if their contracts are for OOP + 1 movie.

What about the rest of the Marauders including Sirius, Remus and Peter.

Sorry if this has been discussed before - haven't looked through the entire thread. But in the books and in my mind, I imagine Sirius to be hot (:rolleyes:) and Remus to be good looking as well. Have they been casted yet? And what about young Snape?

Oh that memory scene has got to be good! If it isn't, I'll cry :p!

I think they didn't cast the rest of the young Marauders or Snape. I hope they cast good actors for these roles.

I agree with lindaluna, that they give a big importance to the Worst Memory scene, which for me is a very good news.

As for Susie Shinner, she looks good for Lily. A little older than I pictured 15-year old Lily, but that doesn't matter to me as long as she's a good actress (which I hope she'll be, the casting has never disapponited me so far).

Is there a better picture out there of Susie Shinner? I'd be really surprised if that was a picture released by WB. Even without the bad resolution, I think they could do better. (I work in photo processing, so I've really learned which pictures are good, and which ones are bad!)

Has anyone heard rumors on Amelia Bones? I am not sure if she will be in the film, but I haven't heard anything either way. Has anyone heard anything about the other death eaters, not Bellatrix and Malfoy.

It says Una Stubbs on Wikipedia... but it has not been confirmed yet..

Does any one think Bill Nighy will be given a role?

I wished voldemort would be played by Nighy... Ah well!
(Not Scrimgeor: I hope Jermey Irons will take that...)



The other thing to keep in mind is that they will not necessarily use all of the scenes that they film. Still, the centaurs are a big investment: that is a lot of CGI, and it won't be left on the cutting room floor.

It can still work with the centaurs. Who knows, perhaps they will adapt them to have a bigger role: e.g., become more active in the prophecy, etc. Perhaps they will have it be one of the centaurs who made the original prophecy: that would be visually more interesting than Trelawney!

I think that perhaps I have the OotP: Book to Film screenplay too thoroughly stuck in my mind!


Actually I can see *** centaurs being like the Ents in lord of the rings... They are neutral and perhaps dont contribute much to the story thus far... But perhaps a glimpse of them would prepare us for their role in book/movie 7...Centaurs seem to have to take a blow to engage in war... Anyhow people remeber faces and animals, and creatures... even if they dont remeber what their role there was...

Geraldine Somerville (Jane "Panhandle" Penhaligon in "Cracker") was Lily Potter throughout. Is she the wife of Christopher Columbus? I didn't know that.



No she is not..


Actually if Gillian andersn was English..She would be perfect to play either Lily or Narcissa.. She looks fits narcissa looks, and lily potter... Remeber Lily and petunia are sisters so i expect some resemblance...Geraldine somerville has no resemblance to fiona (petunia) ...just what i think... not that it really matters!

Latest casting news from BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4700000/newsid_4700700/4700716.stm) via TLC!!

Amelia Bones - Sian Thomas (http://members.aol.com/actorsite/citz/pix/sthomas.jpg)
Dawlish the Auror - Richard Leaf
Zacharias Smith - Nick Shim
Dursleys are in
Piers Polkiss - Jason Boyd
Malcolm - Richard Macklin
young Wormtail - Charles Hughes

there's also a new picture of Robbie Jarvis - James Potter

Wow... that's a lot...

Thanks a lot for the link, Ania. :)

Just a question, who are Malcolm and Piers Polkiss? I don't remember these people from the book and they arem't in HP Lexicon either.

Robbie Jarvis looks good on the picture. If he's a good actor, I think he would be perfect James.

Just a question, who are Malcolm and Piers Polkiss? I don't remember these people from the book and they arem't in HP Lexicon either.

Piers Polkiss is Dudley's thin, rat faced friend, I think from PS. I can't believe he's been cast - more useless minutes of film going to waste.

Susie Shinner was confirmed to play Lily Evans - source (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4700000/newsid_4700700/4700716.stm).

Thanks, leenielou. :D That's why I didn't find him in the Lexicon. I searched only through wizards.

I really wonder how they are going to squeeze all of that into one film. Either some of the minor characters will be only for few second in the film, or they'll have to cut lots of the realy important parts. If the first is true, the non-readers will be very confused.

I totaly agree. How the hell are they going to fit all of the really important parts of the book, since there's so many that cannot be cut because they are essential to the story.
I'm gald the Dursleys are back, because they are important at the beginning of the overall story. I don't know why they casted Dudley's friends. What the hell do we want to see them for?
I'm really hoping the movie will be at least 3 hours, because i think that's the only way they are going to get the whole story across, and so the non-raders will also understand.

I am actually very happy with the casting for OotP at the moment.
Although, i must admit, i will need to be convinced with Bellatrix. We'll see though, wont we? :D

I really did think that they would use Dan as young James, without the scar and with his hair a little different and different glasses. But i guess, that would just look too wierd.

Im very interested in who will be Snape's younger self.
Anyone got any idea who could be?

I just got a look at the photographs of the actors playing young Lily and James (I've been out of it for a long time, sorry) and they look OK- though I was happier with Susie Shinner than Robbie Jarvis, he looked too much of a pretty-boy to make a believable James Potter. But then, the casting directors did their job excellently so far, so I guess we can count on this turning out all right.

I'd have loved to see Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix, but Helen McCrory (Professor Kirke's housekeeper from The Chronicles of Narnia movie) is a more than competent actress, I'm sure she'll be able to deliver.

Professor Kirke's housekeeper was Mrs Macready, right? Wasn't she played by Elizabeth Hawthorne, not Helen McCrory?

The boy to play young James looks dandy to me. He'll be fine. Richard Leaf (to play Dawlish) looks like he'll be good as well. He has neat eyes, they're a little freaky.

Strange. I could have sworn the opening credits listed her, but she doesn't appear on the cast list over at IMDB...my mistake.

Harry Potter Fan Zone (http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/fusion/fullnews.php?id=732) has just posted:
Afshan Azad and Shefila Chowdhury, the two teenage girls who play Parvati and Padma Patil in the Harry Potter movies, are both confirmed to appear in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Coincidently, the Movie Insider are listing John Cleese (Nearly Headless Nick) to reprise his role in OOTP.
Harry talking to Nick about the ghosts is in! YAAAY!!!

Yes! Nick's coming back! I love John Cleese! :D
And now that I got over the shock of knowing that Natalia Tena is going to play Tonks and learning a little more about her, I think she could make a good Tonks. I made this in Photoshop:
http://www.myimagehub.com/files/301/01minitonks.jpg
Not a bad Tonks is she? ;)
I just hope that the makeup people don't ruin her looks as they did with Lupin and Sirius and that she changes her looks a lot through the whole movie. :)

Oh, and I must admit that my idea ofLuna was of a skinny girl with large eyes and dark blonde hair... not at all like Evanna. She looks far too cute... But then, I read this in a board (someon took it from a livejournal):

"This is probably the craziest thing that's ever happened. So I went downstairs for breakfast, my dad was all ecstatic about God know's what and said, "I have to tell you a story." And so it began. When I was about 6 years old we sarted to regularly go on vacation to Ireland, it was where my parents got married and there was a family we were very close friends with. My dad said that the youngest girl of the family, Evanna saw the ad in the paper for Luna Lovegood auditions. She went, there were 15,000 girls. Fiona Weir, the stage director said she could stay. They sent her home with a bunch of DVDs, Evanna thought they were saying, "You were good, but not right for the part." She was asked back to read some of the script and a boy came up to her said, "Hi, I'm Dan." DANIEL RADCLIFFE. Her family is quite poor, she has three siblings and her dad even said to her, 'I don't think you have a snowball's chance in hell." They went home, tried to act normal but then they got a call from Fiona Weir, she got the part. Now at this point my dad was crying because the Lynches have been family friends for what seems like forever. I remember living in a small house in Ireland with her over the summer and now she's a star."

That's such a beautiful story! I even got tears in my eyes when I read it. Evanna is not at all the Luna I had in my mind, but she looks so cute that I never felt good criticizing her casting. (This is not a good English at all, is it? Sorry, but you know what I mean, don't you? lol)
After reading that, I don't care about the Luna i had in mind anymore, Evanna is Luna and I bet the makeup people will make her look "as Luna as possible" (Gosh, my English is terrible today! What's got into me?? :( ) and I bet that she will make the loony look that Luna is supposed to have. She deserves it. I'm already a fan!

That is such a sweet story! I've heard a lot of nice stories about her, and how much she's a Harry Potter fan. I just think it's great, especially that someone so crazy about Harry Potter got the part. She really looks like she's a nice kid and I'm very much rooting for her! She'll be fantastic, I can feel it.


About John Cleese coming back as Nearly Headless Nick- it might not happen. :no:

Update: Order of the Phoenix has now been removed from Cleese's filmography which would indicate he will not return for the film. We'll keep you up-to-date on any developments.

Devon Murray posted on his website that he's back for OotP. :)

That is such a touching story! I'm very glad that Evanna, according to this, is a down to earth person. And it's a big advantage that she's a HP fan; hopely this means that she'll know how to interpret her character well (I hope).

I want Christian Coulson to play teenage Riddle (for continuity) and 'Going to kill Hephzibah' Riddle (just so I can gawp at him in a black suit :drool: ). But I think 'Let's ask for the DADA job' Riddle could be played by Fiennes.

I'm not going to drool over Christian Coulson, but your casting idea makes sense.

Yeah. I love CHristian Coulson. I think he's probably gonna come back, because the cup and the locket are significant plot points.....

Coulson was good, but won't he be too old to play a schoolboy?

Coulson was good, but won't he be too old to play a schoolboy?

Probably. I think he'd be able to pull it off though, if they only show the Slughorn's memory scene. He was great in CoS, it'd be a pity if he wasn't cast in HBP.

The young Lily looks a lot older than Hermione and Ginny. Bustier. But maybe I've been spending too much time with my legos.
I agree. I imagine there are tricks to make her look younger and she should be wearing robes which can help hide her age. I'm glad that they went for natural and realistic beauty than some red-headed bombshell.
That's ok though, that woman was way too old. (Not dissing her acting or anything !), but she was age appropriate for Harry age 12, but she actually died at 22.
When I saw the movie I just assumed that Harry was looking at his parents at the age they would have been if they had lived. So his mom seemed the right age but his father was too old. I really liked the magical photo that we see of his parents in PoA. It was a very nice touch.
Piers Polkiss is Dudley's thin, rat faced friend, I think from PS. I can't believe he's been cast - more useless minutes of film going to waste.
I think that it is important to show the scene with Dudley and his gang and how Harry criticizes him for beating up a young boy (Mark Evans) because it mirrors what Harry later sees in Snape's Worst Memory: James and his gang against Snape. If they do it right, it reminds the audience that Dudley bullied Harry his whole life at Privet Drive and that is why he feels so sympathetic to Snape - he knows what it feels like. And plus there is the parallel between Piers (the one who likes to hold their arms back) and Peter.
I really did think that they would use Dan as young James, without the scar and with his hair a little different and different glasses.
I've seen this idea floating around on the forums and I don't see why they would want Dan to play both. Harry and James look a lot alike, but they do not look exactly the same. One of the points that has been made repeatedly in the books is that Harry may look a lot like his dad, but Harry is not his father (although he has his "James" moments from time to time). I think this is why we keep hearing "You look just like your father but you have your mother's eyes." If eyes are the windows to one's soul, then I think the point that is being made and that will be fully explained in book 7, is that Harry's values and personality are ultimately more like his mother's than his father's. Sirius even notes that Harry is not as daring and as much of a thrill-seeker as his father was at his age. Harry is shocked by what he sees his 15 year-old father do to Snape, just like his mother. So I think it is important for the story that James is played by a different actor. Plus I think it would just be too weird to have one actor play two different characters.
And now that I got over the shock of knowing that Natalia Tena is going to play Tonks and learning a little more about her, I think she could make a good Tonks. I made this in Photoshop:
That is really cool. :tu: I think she looks like Tonks in the book.
I just hope that the makeup people don't ruin her looks as they did with Lupin and Sirius and that she changes her looks a lot through the whole movie.
What do you mean by ruin their looks? I know Sirius was supposed to look pretty rough to reflect his years in Azkaban and the toll that it has taken on him, especially for being wrongly convicted of murdering the Potters. Remus has been wandering the country for years looking for work in a society that discriminates against werewolves, plus I imagine the transformation process eventually makes one look pre-maturely old. Their appearances should reflect the hard lives that they have lived since leaving Hogwarts.

So Tonks should be young, cute and enthusiastic in the OOTP film and then her looks will go down the toilet in the HBP film.
I want Christian Coulson to play teenage Riddle (for continuity)
I think he did a great job in CoS and I would like to see him return. He definitely had the "handsome but evil" part down.

I am not familiar with the actress cast for Bellatrix, but from what I've read and the pictures I've seen, I think she will do a great job. I was so worried when there were rumors about Elizabeth Hurley being cast for Bellatrix. :td:

Agreed. I imagined Sirus looking pretty ragged and Lupin old for his years, as they were portrayed in the movie. :agree:

:lol: That would have been awful!

That would have been awful!

Yes, I hated that rumour and dreaded it being true, but, unbelievably, there were quite a few people who thought that she'd be good.

HPFanZone (http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/fusion/fullnews.php?id=744) has some new Natalia Tena pictures! She looks very good for the part, imo.

Yep, I agree. I remember her in About a Boy, and thinking that she was a bit weird. And it was funny the way she treated that poor boy.
I can't wait to see how she'll look when she has the whole Tonks' look and everything.

Cate Blanchett or Tilda Swinton should be Narcissa Malfoy.
Jim Broadbent would be great as Slughorn.
Cate Blanchett (http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/240x360/a_c/CBlanchett_Oscars05WennB.jpg)

Cate Blanchet......I don't know, she looks too fragile.
Jim Broadbent would be great as Slughorn!

Jim Broadbent would be great as Slughorn.

I agree :agree: He's such a versatile actor, I think he'd be incredible.

I prefer Tilda Swinton to Cate Blanchett though - Cate has a more ephereal and fluid beauty about her, whereas Tilda is complete strength through cool.

Perhaps Kristin Scott Thomas (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000218/) as Narcissa instead?
Then, as Merope Gaunt, Helena Bonham-Carter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000307/)

Oh, i almost forgot, if Aberforth Dumbledore appears, he should be played by Geoffrey Rush.

Coulson was good, but won't he be too old to play a schoolboy?

He was already in his early twenties when he played Riddle first time round! :lol: He's 27 now! it's quite funny, actually...he must have been 23/24 when he was in CoS. But I still think they could pull it off. I mean, it wouldn't make any sense to cast 16 year old Riddle as someone else. Everyone who saw CC in CoS will be thinking 'but wasn't he played by that other boy?'
Then they could get him to grow some stubble for DieHephzibah!Riddle and then Fiennes could play the part where Riddle asks Dumbledore for the DADA job.

Simple! :)

You make it sound so easy :D

But yes, I agree, Coulson should play Riddle. Is the Riddle in CoS supposed to be older than the Riddle in HBP? That might pose a few problems, but if it's the other way round then it shouldn't be too bad. 24-28 year olds play teenagers in soaps and films all the time, so if they can get away with it then so could he.

I just had a thought. Were he not Canadian, wouldn't Donald Sutherland make an absolutely amazing Dumbledore. He is great at eccentric roles, he can come off as very powerful when he wants to and he has the look Dumbledore is described as so many times (powerful and youthful, yet very elderly). He perhaps personifies how I have envisioned Dumbledore more than any other actor. It's unfortunate that he is not British, because he would make a helluva Dumbledore.

http://www.nndb.com/people/531/000023462/donald-sutherland.jpg

This is so weird, I'm watching him on Tv right now in the movie The Italian Job! But I'm sticking to our current Dumbledore. I like the first dude better, but the one we have now is just fine.

Well, yea, can't change now...just sayin, if when Richard Harris died, if Donald Sutherland were British, how great would his Dumbly-dore have been?

HPFanZone has some new Natalia Tena pictures! She looks very good for the part, imo.
Yay, new pictures! I think she'll pull of Tonks quite nicely.

I think they could pull off having Coulson play Riddle. I really liked him in CoS, he was great. I would be thrilled to have him back.

Um.....I'm so confused about Gary Oldman. HPFanZone is saying that Gary was never intended to return and there are no negotiations going on? Maybe this is old news? I thought MuggleNet reported that he was confirmed?

Argh, can of worms time! First of all Gary's agent said that he had not been approached. Then WB apparently "confirmed" that he was cast. Then Gary's agent denied this, as did the WB. So now we're in limbo...but perhaps they are only filming the scenes with the kids first, as a few other adult actors are yet to be confirmed. But I think it is pretty much accepted that they couldn't possibly make the film without Gary. Either they're trying to get more publicity for it by emphasising Gary's role in it and therefore the role of Sirius, or Gary is trying to get himself some more publicity.

Either way, if he isn't actually cast (and Sirius isn't either) the movie will be ruined and a huge proportion of fans will be unhappy, which I doubt that they'd risk.

Thanks for clearing that up. On this other board I post on (non-HP related) they were talking about the whole mess, and I said that it's not true and that he IS going to be in the movie. Then I see that most recent news update on HPFanZone and it really confused me (hence why I asked).

I agree about the publicity angle. I have a hard time believing that Gary was NEVER intended for the part. Why one Earth would that be?

I have no idea. Gary Oldman is now in the movie fans' mind as Sirius Black. There would be no point in replacing him, and to cut him out of the film entirely would be to ruin it entirely. I would see no point in seeing it if Sirius wasn't in it.

I think DieHephzibah!Riddle was only around twenty/twenty one or something similar.
I saw Christian Coulson the other night when he had his bit part in Little Britain. It was only done about two years ago, possibly even less, and he looked eighteen (and, um, delicious :) ). I'm sure he could do it!
Stubble + Riddle + Evil = A happy Seventh_Child, and that, as we know, is the goal of making these movies: To keep me happy. ;)
They've not done the greatest job though :lol:

And Christopher Lee would be just dreadful as Slughorn, in my opinion. Give that role to John Rhys-Davis. He was born to play Slughorn.




I thought the EXACT same thing!!!!!

No No No. Get Lord of the Rings out of your heads! Jim Broadbent should be Slughorn. Christopher Lee, who ever thought of that suggestion?! Perhaps he could fit in as a token Marvolo Gaunt, but he is too old, thin and villainous to be Slughorn. By the time HP6 is released, he would be 86. Just completely wrong in all aspects.

And it's a shame that Rita Skeeter isn't returning.

How about a new Hagrid? It seems increasingly likely that Robbie Coltrane's going...

OK, new (and old actors) from TLC list:

Mafalda Hopkirk, Amelia Bones, Cornelius Fudge, Percy
The trial crowd - at least 5 chairs are full then. Thanks to anyone who posted who Mafalda is. And thanks to meesha for pointing that she's going to be the witch in the third row who says "Rubbish". I wonder how much of Percy's story they'll show, but from what Chris Rankin said, he's got two scenes.

Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Remus Lupin, Dedalus Diggle, Mad-Eye Moody
Advance Guard. I have to add I'm happy Moody is back, I loved him in GoF!

Young James/Lily/Snape
Pensieve scene is in.

Bane, Magorian
Centaurs are in.

Voldemort, Lucius, Bellatrix
The MoM crowd. Can't wait to see them.

Kreacher
That totally makes sense.

Cedric (flashback)
As they're going to explain Harry's relationship with Sirius and Cho with survivor's guilt, I'm really happy to know they're treating the fact seriously. It means they do care about character's reality.

Vernon, Petunia, Malcolm, Piers, Dudley
The Privet Drive crowd.

Mrs Figg
Either Privet Drive or the trial person. Or both.

McGonagall, Umbridge, Trelawney, Snape, Filch
Usual Hogwarts stuff. Good to see Trelawney though, I wouldn't stand the prophecy scene without her.

Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Sirius (and Lupin)
I'm soooo happy to see them again! I hope it means the movie is not going to be about fighting only. I hope attack on Mr Weasley is in too.

Cho, Zacharias Smith
The DA crowd. Maybe he'll be the one to betray them.

Dawlish
Dumbledore's escape?

Nigel
Honestly, they could AT LEAST rename him as Dennis Creevey.

So in any case:

Christian Coulson for movie 6!

and this is exactly who I think he should be playing.
Voldy in school. And Voldy meeting Morfin. And Voldy killing the Riddles if that will make to the screen play. And post-grduation Voldy asking Prof. Dippet for a job.

Ralph should play Voldy seeking job in Hogwarts many years later, when Dumbledore was a headmaster.

It will underline the changes Voldy went through while out there in the world of dark magic.

Lol, his tie always looks this lilac colour at the end of the CoS movie. I know it isn't, but...*giggles* I found it funny that Voldemort's tie appeared to be purple, for some reason :)

I agree with what seventh_child said on the thread that got locked: we need Christian back for Riddle. Ralph Fiennes is just too old to play a twentysomething Voldemort. And like seventh_child said, it won't hurt to have some more eye-candy to drool at (or maybe I'm being greedy since I will hopefully have Dan anyway...)! :love::p

How about Cate Blanchett to play the part of Narcissa? http://www.geocities.com/ring_quest/lotr/cate_blanchett.jpg

I couldn't imagine Cate playing Narcissa. She's too nice and too pretty!

I couldn't imagine Cate playing Narcissa. She's too nice and too pretty!

I guess you never saw her as Galadriel in Lord of the Rings, eh?

*chuckle*

Cate is extremely versatile, and can play any type of character, be it sweet or otherwise.

An actor that can only play a character who is exactly like themselves is not an actor at all... just someone who is being paid to live in front of a camera.

http://www.isnanchordesk.com/autos/pix/cblanchett2.jpg

Also, Narcissa would have to be pretty - do you really think someone as vain as Lucius Malfoy would marry anyone who wasn't outwardly perfect?

How about Cate Blanchett to play the part of Narcissa?

I think she'd be perfect. Unfortunately, she's Australian and you know JKR's firm rule about only British actors appearing in the HP films.

Cate is too big a star for such a tiny part.

Pity.

I guess you never saw her as Galadriel in Lord of the Rings, eh?
Darn, I forgot about that one. But I still don't see her in the role. Although Narcissa is described as looking beautiful in the books, I expect her to be beautiful in a more evil way, if that makes any sense. And Cate doesn't look that evil to me without the glowing green light. Not evil in a Narcissa kind of way, anyway. Ok, now I know that doesn't make sense. But you never know, she might have been able to adapt to the role. Pity we won't find out as she is not British and as Queen_Beruth said, too big a star for this small part.

Cate is too big a star for such a tiny part.

Pity.

I humbly disagree.

Putting aside, for the moment, the fact that she's Australian....

I think that Kenneth Branagh and Gary Oldman are much bigger stars than Ms. Blanchett, and they are playing roles which are much smaller than the ones they usually play.

In the case of Harry Potter, it's the major popularity of the movies themselves, not the size of the specific part, that attracts huge stars like Branagh, Oldman, Emma Thompson, and etc.

As for JKR's actor hiring rule - I thought she only said she wouldn't hire American actors to play Brit parts.... I didn't know she excluded folks from "down under" as well...

It's a pity they didn't save Miranda Richardson for Narcissa's part, then. I didn't particularly like her as Rita Skeeter.... I thought someone more intrinsically comical should have done that part. Ms. Richardson does a great "bad girl" though (as evidenced in "Sleepy Hollow"), and might have done well as Lucius' other half.

Really? I enjoyed Richardson's performance as Rita Skeeter in GoF. Though I suppose I could see her playing Narcissa.

Mike Reid who used to play frank butcher In Eastenders would make a good Slughorn whereas Tonks could be played ideally by Caroline Quentin.
Nicole Kidman would be a good Narcissa.

Nicole Kidman would be a good Narcissa.

If I can't have Cate Blanchett because she's Australian, then you can't have Nicole Kidman! Hee hee! :p

Nicole Kidman would be a good Narcissa.
Strangely enough, I can actually picture Nicole in the role. She wouldn't be my first choice though. And as Elysia said, she's Australian.

I think that Nicole Kidman would be perfect, but yeah, she is too big of a star for Harry Potter. But who ever they choose to play her, should have a similar look.

If Hugh Grant is cast in any of these movies I will refuse to watch.

I don't know, he could make a pretty decent Scrimgeour :evil:

I see someone older than Hugh Grant to play Scrimgeour. Like Charles Dance or Michael Caine.

It would be sensible to cut Scrimgeour. They have enough plots to tackle when filming HBP to bother with such a minor character and sub-plot.

I think it'd be tight if they cast Keira Knightly somewhere in the films...is she British? i think so, but anyway im a big fan of hers
and ya i'm not a ralph fiennes fan to begin with so i definitely dont think he should play the younger voldemort
he was too like likehearted in that graveyard scene
like he was at a tea party or something
not intimidating at all
and i agree about Scrimgeour, will it might be interesting to watch the interaction between him and Harry and everyone, we could live without it

They didn't cut Fudge so I don't think they'll be cutting Scrimgeour. They'll have to show how Fudge got ousted and Scrimgeour is the new minister.

It's a pity they didn't save Miranda Richardson for Narcissa's part, then. I didn't particularly like her as Rita Skeeter.... I thought someone more intrinsically comical should have done that part.

Miranda Richardson has a fine comedy pedigree including Blackadder.

Miranda Richardson has a fine comedy pedigree including Blackadder.
Absolutely, she was a fabulous 'Queenie'!

I suppose it may be that she simply wasn't given enough screen time to come across as some people may have expected. The book was simply too large and the action too plentiful, to really explore Rita fully as a character (I feel the Crouches suffered in the same way) and the Harry/Hermione supposed romance was dealt with a bit clumsily. But when we did see Miranda Richardson, I thought she was great, particularly in the broom cupboard scene with Harry. On of the highlights of GoF for me.

Miranda as Queenie is one of my favourite comedy things ever, and the second is still my fave Blackadder of them all. She really is a superb actress and I wish she had more recognition from hollywood.

- - -

I almost wish Tilda Swinton had been cast as Bellatrix. Yes she doesn't look like her (and there would be the usual outcry from the 'purists') but if I had the chance to see one actress really let rip doing evil madness, it would be her (neither Narnia or Constantine count, altohugh they both have elements).

I see someone older than Hugh Grant to play Scrimgeour. Like Charles Dance or Michael Caine.


Brilliant!!! Now I want Michael Caine!

Any idea on younger actors for Snape/Lupin/Black?? I am very interested in who they may choose to play younger versions for the Snape's Worst Memory scene.

I get the feeling that the young Marauders not yet cast, as well as young Snape, will probably end up played by relative unknowns. But DARNIT, they had BETTER get young Snape right, or I will be ticked. :)

I like Stuart Townsend for Marvolo Gaunt.
He is 34 years.

A Very Frosty Christmas
And sure enough, the man Harry had seen in the Daily Prophet was following along in Percy's wake, limping slightly, his mane of graying hair and his black cloak flecked with snow.

Ah, sorry...
Those were from the sims. the guy was Tom Riddle, the blonde girl was me...^_^;
But I have a new sig now! :clap:

Anyway, back on subject -

I really have no idea why, but Tom Riddle senior is ALWAYS played by Cal from Titanic in my mind. What's his real name...Billy Zane?
I don't know, I always imagine TR Snr as Cal.

Actually, I quite like Brian Cox as Rufus Scrimgeour...a fine British actor, versatile, he's been in tons of films.

Like him in X2, and not just beacuse its my favorite movie, I agree that he is a good actor. I, however, picture Scrimgeour taller and slimmer.

My pick would have to be David Bowie. I think he could make a great replacement teacher in Movie 7 or possibly one of the DeathEaters in the battle at Hogwarts in Movie 6. I think ol' Ziggy could even play Marvolo.

I just read at Mugglenet the "confirmed cast" so far for OOTP
Anybody hear who is playing Dumbledore?

They aren't going to change Dumbledores at this point. Especially since there has been no substantial backlash to Gambon. Quite the opposite actually.

Where would one find these compliments of Gambon. I have read
reviews everywhere of his "too strong" performance of Dumbledore in GOF.
With respect, I have not grown attached to his presentation of Dumbledore.
Also, why do some people call Columbus a hack? He was brillant taking
on such a task in movie 1 introducing everyone to the world of our HP.
It was bringing that first book onto film that materialized the essence of
the true magic of the series.

Yes, he did a fairly good job. A for me, i dont like Gambon as much as Richard Harris.

No, you have read fans' opinions, and that means virtually squat when it comes down to it. What matters is the real film critics and the general audiences, who are non-readers and are looking for things that work on film. Gambon delivers.

And Columbus has always been a hack, from his first film to his latest "RENT." I cannot see how it can be said that any "essence" of Harry Potter made it into his bland and overlong films.

I think Atreides' point was that (many) book fans take a very different view of a film adaptation than do film fans. Many book fans just want a series of favourite scenes and resent any deviation from the text.

If people like the Columbus films - that's fine of course. However he is simply not a respected director amongst his peers and film-savvy people. Very recently, both Ralph Fiennes and Terry Gilliam expressed scorn for the first two HP films.

As for Gambon's performance ...sighs... it seems to be a minority of the HP fandom who object to his interpretation. There doesn't seem to be problems with critics and the wider audience (i.e. >90% of people who watch the films).

I would like to see Viggo Mortensen in HP-Movies, he could play Tom Riddle Sr in the new HP-Movie.

He's American.

Someone from TLC has just posted:
There's news about an actor named Stuart Hastings to play young Remus Lupin.

"Harry Potter Movie 5 Casting News! "


Young Remus Lupin Casted!

According to a Press Release of the Agency OneFace a young actor named Stuart Hastings has been cast to play the role of Young Remus Lupin in the next installment of Harry Potter.


http://s2.supload.com/image.php?get=juanblancoynegro.JPGInteresting. For a moment I thought they may want to film Snape's Worst Memory with Lily, James, Snape and Wormtail only 0.o

Interesting. For a moment I thought they may want to film Snape's Worst Memory with Lily, James, Snape and Wormtail only 0.o

Unfortunately, it's pretty likely that this isn't true. From what I've seen, the agency OneFace does not exist in Britain, and there is no solid proof of this at all. He does look okay for Remus though, so it would be nice if it was true.

Similarly, there are also rumours doing the rounds that an actor has been cast for the young Sirius. I can't remember his name at the moment, but he isn't even British, so that is clearly a fabrication.

Correct. The book fans are about 10% of the viewing audience of the movies, and WB most certainly does not listen to us. I cannot see how Harry Potter fans on a fan forum qualify as "reviews everywhere."

EDIT: I started searching the reviews on the opening page of Rotten Tomatoes, and so far this is the only comment about Gambon's performance that I've found at all:

according to Dumbledore (Michael Gambon, less the meditative being that the late Richard Harris was, and more involved, knowing, and understanding of the goings-on at Hogwarts and certainly in this tournament, and in Harry’s life, as always)
EDIT: another:
In his second session replacing the late Richard Harris as Hogwarts principal Dumbledore, Michael Gambon has a ponderous, aristocratic humanism.
And I had to search hard to find that one. Most other reviews didn't find Gambon's performance "bad" enough that it was worth mentioning, which usually means that he did his job. The point? Don't overestimate the Harry Potter fandom... WB already has done that.

I submit that Marilyn Manson would make a great young Snape...

Or, in fact, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails...
I don't think that I would watch the film if Marilyn Manson was in it. However, that Trent Reznor (from that picture) looks like a good younger Snape. He looks like he would grow up into Alan Rickman. However, from his IMDB listing, he is quite old and he is American - so it wouldn't work.

I've been thinking about Slughorn, and after just watching LOTR, I am going to say that John Rhys-Davies would do a better job than Mark Addy, who I previously said would do well, would. I can already picture him in my mind talking to Dumbledore and Harry in the house, talking to Harry in Potions, and in the Pensieve scene. His voice is exactly how I picture it when I read the books, and I think that he would do well.

Unfortunately, it's pretty likely that this isn't true. From what I've seen, the agency OneFace does not exist in Britain, and there is no solid proof of this at all. He does look okay for Remus though, so it would be nice if it was true.

Oh, alright... He looks too handsome anyway :p

Atreides, Thank You for your research. I think it boils down to ones
perception. I think Gambon is a wonderful actor. I just do not perceive
him as Dumbledore. I think it would be interesting to see just what
what people think. Book fans or movie goers. As for Columbus, I
stand strong on the first film. I think it was a hard undertaking to
start the first film. Its always easier to improve on something already
existing and pick at it. I think you can say that all directors have
good and bad films. As for critics, its just one persons opinion.
There have been many films that were critics choice and bombed at
the box office. Why is that? There have been many awards that
should have been given (like to John Williams) for the score of Harry Potter.
Just my opinion.

There have been many films that were critics choice and bombed at
the box office. Why is that?
Typically, movies that are big with critics are art-house style films. Those types of films have smaller audiences than the more mainstream, big-budget effects films. They also usually don't have to make as much to be considered successful. So, really, they usually don't "bomb," because films like that require less income. They just don't make millions on top of millions like Spider-Man, Star Wars, or Harry Potter.

And King Kong was understandable due to its length. Movies that long doing really good at the box office are rare.

There have been many awards that
should have been given (like to John Williams) for the score of Harry Potter.
Just my opinion.
I disagree here, especially if you're talking about the first two movies. Definitely not Oscar material, especially in the face of Lord of the Rings. Prisoner of Azkaban, however, I believe was shortchanged in its year, at least for some of the technical awards, original score, and at least a NOMINATION for Best Director! But alas, the Oscars will never look at Harry Potter as worthy for an award.

Miscellaneous Actor Speculation v4.

http://Brego.net/viggo/
Actually, he has a Danish father and an American mother. So he is half and half, but born in New York. I doubt that they would get Viggo Mortenson for such a small role. Actually, Tom Riddle Sr. will probably be cut from the movies all together. It is unnecessary to show him, just the knowledge that he dies is fine. Actually, the only book that he's in is in the fourth - he is only mentioned in the sixth. There is no point to get such an expensive actor to play a minor role. If any actor from Lord of the Rings should get in, it should be John Rhys-Davies for Slughorn.

What is it with British actors and the HP-movies, there is a wrld outside England?
Is it not about having the best actors for the role? The BRITISH EMPIRE does not exist except in some brits minds, its a new world out there, and there are a lot of great actors out there.

If any actor from Lord of the Rings should get in, it should be John Rhys-Davies for Slughorn.

I'm still not convinced that it's true though, but I hope so. I wasn't sure at first, but with a slight haircut (although keep the general style, it's 70s looking so I don't see a problem there) and the getting rid of what looks like a possible monobrow, and I'll personally be very happy with that bit of casting *crosses fingers*

I also hope its true, he looks like what I think young Lupin should look like. Though he also could also pass as young Sirius, in my opinion.

And with the whole issue of why they pick only British actors: they just do, because they are under contract to do so, end of story.

Is David Thewlis coming back for ootp. It would be sad if they switched lupin.

According to Wikipedia, David is set to come back as Lupin.

Or was it IMDB or Veritaserum? It was Veritaserum that had it confirmed as of February 7, 2006.

Ah, I was confused about that as well... I also thought that JKR had said she would only hire British actors for the HP movies. NOW it makes more sense!

The movie characters will all be cast in accordance with the countries from which their book characters come! (Of course, since 98.276% of the characters in the books are British, that's why so many British actors!)

I feel much better knowing that - it makes sense, and it doesn't seem so exclusionary.

I also hope its true, he looks like what I think young Lupin should look like. Though he also could also pass as young Sirius, in my opinion.


I think he could pull off playing young Sirius too. I always pictured young Lupin to be a bit more clean cut and one of those nerdy/hotties.

Stuart Hastings has NOT been cast as young Lupin *coughunfortunatelycough*:

Over the weekend various "Harry Potter" sites had been reporting that actor Stuart Hastings had been cast as the 'young Remus Lupin' for "Order of the Phoenix." Today CBBC Newsround announced that Warner Bros. has denied these rumours and stated that no one has yet been cast for the role. (http://hpana.com/news.19352.html)

Yes he hasn`t been casted, its sad really. But I guess we`ll just have to wait some more :(

Stuart Hastings would make a great younger Lupin, though, don't you think? The hair and the body fit Lupin at a young age.

I don't know, I was thinking, a younger Snape. That's going to be difficult. Perhaps someone with a sneer and great acting in the bad attitude area...but whom?

It's hard to speculate who I see in certain parts.

It is reasonable to suppose that the vast majority of HP fans do not post on messageboards. This board has - what? - a few thousand members? Same for the other main boards, with some overlap. Yet millions of people can be considered fans of the books, and tens of millions can be considered fans of the films.

The ones who post regularly on messageboards tend to be the most fanatical (obviously!), the ones with the most time on their hands, and the most affluent, with 24/7 internet access. Moreover the main boards are English speaking, whereas a huge proportion of HP fans are not.

If you want to say that the majority who post on this forum are critical of Gambon's Dumbledore, I have no quarrel with that. But you cannot assume that these people are a majority of HP fans generally, still less of film fans.

And who "Queen Beruth" are you to say that most HP-fans Movie and Books like Mike Newell and Sir Michael Gamdon version of Dumbledore, just because they are not in this massageboard? Have you done a World Poll or seen one? If you find one put it up here.
Sir Michael haven´t read the books could explain his act, Mike Newell´s and WB rushing the story.

Gamdon has had his chance, and he simply does not have it in him.
His version is not even close to the great wizard Dmbledore from the HP-books
and I can´t him save it again in the OofP, and most HP-fan´s on this HP-Fan-side and other fan side´s agree´s, check them out for your self.

Sir Michael haven´t read the books cut explain his act, Mike Newell´s and WB rushing the story.



I don't believe she said that most HP-fans like Mike Newell and Michael Gambon. What she was saying is merely that we, here on Chamber of Secrets, are an incredibly small percentage of all the Harry Potter fans in general.

And I also don't believe this thread is the place to quibble over who thinks who is good or bad at their roles. It's a place to speculate on who will be cast for the open parts.

Once again, I ask that we stick to the topic here of Miscellaneous Actor Speculation and stay polite. The thread for the discussion of Gambon v Harris is here (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=84195&highlight=dumbledore). If I have to ask again, warnings will be handed out.

I like the suggestion of John Rhys-Davies as Slughorn. I think it would be a good fit. ^_^

IMO, Viggo (were he British) would make a better Scrimgeour (sp?).... Hmm... But Gabriel Byrne would be nice in the role. At least in my head.

Anyway, time to go home. Interesting conversation. ^_^

I like the idea of Bernard Hill as Scrimgeor-I can see him pulling off the lion look with the attitude of a politician....
Ben Kingsley as Dumbledore might be a good fit. (I wonder if he would be willing :) ......
Ian Holm, though short, would make a nice slughorn. He's done some great roles...
Gerard Butler in any roll would be nice, esp as a death eater..... But there aren't a lot out there left - unless He's Bellatrix's husband... have they cast that role?

I actually think that (I know this has been suggested previously) Bill Connolly would make a great Scrimgeour. He is perfect for the role.
As I suggested previously, Rufus Sewell would make a great Fenrir Greyback if they decide to keep him in the movie.
Also, if Narcissa had not been cast, I would have picked Naomi Watts. She could do the acting that Narcissa needs perfectly, and she looks the part, too.
However, the main one that needs to get it is John Rhys-Davies. You tell me if he doesn't look like Slughorn:

I actually think that Helena Bonham Carter would make an excellet Merope Gaunt. I know this was speculated before, but it would be incredibly fitting to have her play the part.

Yeah, She would be good in that role.

Yeah, She[Helena Bonham-Carter] would be good in that role.I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I don't think she's... inbred enough for it. She's too pretty. ^_^

But who knows? Maybe they can ugly her up in makeup or something. ^_^

I actually think that Helena Bonham Carter would make an excellet Merope Gaunt. I know this was speculated before, but it would be incredibly fitting to have her play the part.
I don't think that they would cast another role for Merope. Merope can be any young, female extra that has already been cast as an extra, because anyone they get is going to have loads of makeup on and covered in rags. And since she never talks no one will identify her as some other character.

I know its a while off yet, but the new minister of magic is a role to be filled eventually. What does anyone think about the actor Tim Curry as Rufus Scrimgeour?

Thanks Loves,
Mallory:p

He definetly looks like I imagined Scrimgeour to be, his smile is a little too cheerful though. I guess he just won't smile.

I saw him last year in Spamalot and he was magnificent...I'd be satisfied to see him in ANY role in a HP flick (except Snape....that has to be reserved for Alan Rickman!).

He would be perfect !!

Hmmm, I'm not sure that I would be able to take him seriously.

I think this question should be in Miscellaneous Actor Speculation v4 (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=78619).

I was watching Gormenghast today, and it struck me how much Jonathan Rhys-Myers looked like a young Snape. I think he'd be perfect for the pensieve scene.

(Apologies if this has been suggested before or done to death....not around here much)

calliopetb, I agree. I can see it. (I have no idea if it's been done to death, either... I've only read half a dozen pages in this thread...)

Good suggestion, he does look like snape.

i agree, he looks sort of like Snape. Good suggestion.

I think that Michael Gambon is fabulous as Dumbledore, but a thought crossed my mind that made me chuckle:
What about Tom Baker as Dumbledore?

Dr Who fans will know who I'm talking about.

I don't know who Tom Baker is (so naturally..I googled him!) and he actually would be a good DD (though I have no idea what he is like!)

I read the article that is on the first page and thought Judi Dench would be a wonderful Augusta Longbottom...she is perfect at the proud old woman (Pride & Prejudice!)

I don't know who Tom Baker is (so naturally..I googled him!) and he actually would be a good Dumbledore (though I have no idea what he is like!)Thanks for looking. :)
He is completely eccentric (in real life) and he has a booming voice. I think he would have been ... interesting.
I read the article that is on the first page and thought Judi Dench would be a wonderful Augusta Longbottom...she is perfect at the proud old woman (Pride & Prejudice!)Hmm, interesting thought. I could see her do that well.

After seeing him in Love, Actually I thought Hugh Grant would be good as the muggle Prime Minister in chapter one of HBP. He could just play the same role again and be completely clueless as usual. I think he'd be pretty funny. That is if they do that scene, which they probably won't.

Well, I didn't know who Tom Baker was either, so I did a lelabelle525 and googled him - just for images, though. From the pictures I saw he could tidy up to become a nice Dumbledore. If your description is accurate (which I highly doubt, seeing as it's you ;) ) I would much rather have him than Gambon. They should have casted someone with energy, because that is what Dumbledore has in the books. Gambon is not quite how I imagined him, and with Tom Baker I think it would do well. However, despite my dislike for Gambon, I will die if they cast another Dumbledore. Cast changes are always difficult for me to cope with.

I haven't seen him in that, but I have seen him in one or two movies. I think that he really would do well in that role, because - like you said - the prime minister is pretty clueless, and that's what Hugh Grant does the best. He has my vote so far. Anyone else have any ideas for the prime minister?

i don't think it'd work having clive owen as an older tom riddle purely because we've now seen Voldemort as Ralph Feinnes and the pysical differences between the two are too great to cast clive owen as what would be a younger version of the Voldemort the Ralph Feinnes plays.

christopher lee would be good as Scrimgeour though! you just gotta love that man!
a lot of people are wanting Hlena Bonham Carter to play Narcissa but i'm not convinced that she'd be right for the role (as much as i love her)
Clive Owen could play Charlie or Bill Weasley - dye his hair red, and there you go.:love:
I always imagined Helena Bonham Carter as Tonks, I just see her.

jonathan rhys meyers as snape? he seems WAY to handsome to me. i always pictured young snape as a skinny, hook-nosed, sickly-looking little grease ball. jonathan rhys meyers is definitely not sickly looking. he would've made a good tom riddle though.

i love the idea of helena bonham carter as merope, i think she would be really good at taking a character like that who doesn't talk much and getting her personality across without words. i think they could ugly her up enough for it.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - and I'll say it again.

There is only one actor in the world who should play Horace Slughorn, and his name is Ian McNeice.

If you don't know who he is, check out "Conspiracy" (he played Klopfer), "Rome" (the newsreader), or the Scifi Channel's miniseries version of "Dune" (Baron Harkonen). I think you'll all agree that he is the man for the job.

Here's a link to his Imdb photo page;

About Sir Ian McKellen, they should have cast him as Dumbledore after Richard Harris passed on.

I would love to see Tim Curry have a part in the Harry Potter movies ( I love Tim Curry!!)

I always thought he would have made a good Igor Karkaroff, but since that's part done and over with I'm not really sure what part I could see him doing now...

Actually, he wouldn't make a bad Scrimgeour, with the right costume and makeup...Tim can do anything.:clap:

Hahaha, I just saw your post after I posted mine. Well, great minds think alike!

Good idea :D The man's a God! I'm trying to think of a role he could play but coming up with a blank, unfortunately.

Throw Alan Cumming in there, while you're at it. Those two would be awesome... sort of like Fred and George all grown up!

I was thinking more a long the lines of Morgan Freeman playing Dumbledore. That would be perfect. That man is a god. In fact, he played one once, didn't he? :)

About Sir Ian McKellen, they should have cast him as Dumbledore after Richard Harris passed on.

Rumour has it that they DID offer Dumbledore to him first, but he turned it down because he had just finished playing Gandalf and didn't want to play "another iconic wizard". They then offered it to Christopher Lee, who turned it down because he was offended that the producers would offer the part to anyone so soon after Richard Harris' death (they were friends, I heard). It was then that Michael Gambon got the nod. So the story goes, anyway...

I'd still love to see Christopher Lee is the films somewhere. I think he'd make a very fine Scrimgeour...

There is only one actor in the world who should play Horace Slughorn, and his name is Ian McNeice.
I totally disagree with you on that. I have not seen him in anything, therefore I cannot judge too harshly, but based on looks he would not do well as Slughorn. He looks nothing like the Slughorn I imagined, and I doubt that the costume designers could make him look like the way JKR described Slughorn. Nay, the only Slughorn is John Rhys-Davies. Not only does he look the part, but he sounds the part too. He would work perfectly.

Yes, I think many of us are sad about him turning down the role, but this thread is for future actors, not about your disappointment in the casting.

He was my original choice when I thought of someone for Scrimgeour. I think that they could dress him up nicely and he has the perfect voice for the part. When I see him in any film I immediately think of him sounding the way that Scrimgeour is described.

And now I am going to post my idea of who I think should play Kreacher, should he be cast. Many will probably guess who I think, and I hope that they will agree with me. Andy Serkis would do wonders with the role of Kreacher. His performance as Gollum was great, and I think that he could do somewhat the same thing as he did with Gollum with Kreacher. Kreacher seems to have two sides, one aware and one unaware, and I think that Andy Serkis would be able to show the two sides well.

Thing is - if Kreacher is in future films, people will shout Tolkien rip-off! anyway, so it might be best to keep away from Serkis and try to give Gollum, er sorry... Kreacher a distinctive voice and personality.

Not only does he look the part, but he sounds the part too. He would work perfectly.

I respect your opinion, of course, and I LOVE John Rhys-Davis, but put a bald cap and a big, grey moustache on Ian McNeice and he looks EXACTLY like the way JKR describes him. John Rhys-Davis has too booming a voice and has too intimidating of a physical presence about him, IMHO. Seriously, rent "Conspiracy" and you will see what I mean about McNeice. He really is an extraordianry actor...

Though I'd love to see Christopher Lee in the films, I think they alienated him too badly. I think David Threfall would be a very good choice for Scrimgeour as well.

Leo McKern (Rumpole) would have been perfect for Slughorn, except for the fact that he's dead.

Liam Neeson would be a better fit for Scrimgeour than Christopher Lee, imho.

Helena Bonham Carter would suit the role of matron at the orphanage.

For Fenrir Greyback, I'll go out on a limb and say Sting.

And what about Britian's consummate entertainer - Parkie? Can they fit him in somehow?

Liam Neeson would be a better fit for Scrimgeour than Christopher Lee, imho.

:agree: It would be very interesting to see Liam Neeson taking the role of Scrimgeour.

For Fenrir Greyback, I'll go out on a limb and say Sting.


Intriguing suggestion! I think he'd be perfect!

Leo McKern (Rumpole) would have been perfect for Slughorn, except for the fact that he's dead.

Yes, that does tend to take one out of the running, doesn't it? :)

Some other choices;

Sian Phillips as the painting of Sirius' mother
Margaret Tyzack as Augusta Longbottom (though it looks like they've written her out)
James Dreyfus as Mundungus
Michael Gough as Marvolo Gaunt

And how about Ian McDiarmid as Scrimgeour? That one just occured to me...

:agree: It would be very interesting to see Liam Neeson taking the role of Scrimgeour.

Isn't he Raas Al G'hul from Batman Begins? I dunno, for some strange reason I always think of Rufus as a taller, thinner Fudge myself, mind you, I always thought of Fudge as a sort of Flitwick sized lump.

As far as deceased actors go Robert Morley would have been a perfect Slughorn.

Failing that, Mel Smith or Matt Lucas.

As far as deceased actors go Robert Morley would have been a perfect Slughorn.


Yes, he would. Apart from being deceased, of course.

I think a lot of the minor characters being speculated about on this thead will likely be cut.

I really like Matt Lucas but he is way to young to play Slughorn (even in the Little Briain episodes with Mr. mann where he plays the shopkeeper he looks too young even though they've tried too age him, he can do an old man's voice very well, though IMO.

Who I would really like to see as Slughorn is Paul Brooke. You could spot him in Bridget Jones Diary as Mr. Fitzherbert. I think he would be perfect:

Patric Stewart is upset that he has not yet been asked to play a role in a Harry Potter film. This is a pitty because he is a good actor and for me after the make up and long white hair and beared would have been Albus Dumbledore due to having qualities from both Gambon and Harris in his acting. He also reads the books.

Patrick Stewart already plays this kind of role in the X-men series, he'd be a good Scrimgeour though

"By the way: did you know that Sir Roger Moore is interested in playing in Harry Potter? Wouldn't he make a GREAT Slughorn. On his website he answers questions monthly and this is one of them:

Dear Sir Roger, thanks by your generosity to respond the questions of yours fans. By the way, the fantasy has revitalized to the British film industry, for example the saga of Harry Potter. You would like to play in a fantasy movie, a great production that be seen for millions of children in the world?

Thanks again.

Sir Roger replies:
Dear Dixon


I'm pleased to hear that enjoyed the Saint down there in Colombia!


Yes I like the Harry Potter films too, and I'm available (if you know the producer!).

DO YOU HEAR THAT DAVID HEYMAN ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????

Until someone mentioned the possibility of Liam Neeson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000553) I thought to myself, "YES! YES! YES!". Seeing as he is the epitome of British acting...and seeing as he brings such incredible strenght and life to each character he plays...I say Liam Neeson!
Of course, just because I say that doesn't mean that he does, or that the casting director does. We can only hope that he will make it into at least one of the movies...HOPEFULLY!

Patrick Stewart already plays this kind of role in the X-men series, he'd be a good Scrimgeour thoughOooh, now there's a thought. He can be rather lion-like. ^_^ Yes, I like that. And such a powerful voice, too. Very nice suggestion!

I hope Ian McKellan (SP?) is dumbledore

He has made it clear that he has no interest in the part.

Yes, I know he is Irish, and I don't intend to offend or belittle, but I grouped him in with the British, not out of disrespect, but out of my opinion of all UK/British/Irish/English/Scottish/Welsh, etc. Meaning that Neeson is the best.

I do realize that Ireland is not a part of the UK as Scotland is, I know it is an island and country unto itself....but now having explained myself a bit...maybe that will help.

I'm a fan of Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson. They're both great actors and I could see either one play Scrimgeour. But I wouldn't be upset if neither got the role. If anything, I wouldn't mind an unknown.

Irish actors have a joke: When you get nominated for an Oscar, you're British; when you're drunk at the airport, you're Irish.

He's Northern Irish, actually. It can be quite a loaded issue. I've lived here 21 years and still haven't decided what nationality I am- I don't know if Neeson's ever addressed the subject.

Heh. This very much applies to everything us folks up North get up to.

I've just been watching My Family, and if she can pull off a serious role, I think the girl who plays Abbie could be good for Merope. Or the one who plays Alice in The Vicar of Dibley.

How about Rowan Atkinson as Slughorn? That would be hilarious!!

Edit: Christopher Fairbank would make an excellent Scrimegeour, I think, judging from his portrayal of the tough-talking M.P. Barry Groom in the Line of Beauty (BBC series).

I think, that if Neeson was about 10 years older he would be perfect for Dumbledore. I love that man! His voice is just the best thing to listen to in the world! I don't think he'll make it into the Harry Potter movies, but I would be overjoyed if he did!

I would like to see Sir Anthony Hopkins as Marvolo Gaunt. I think he would be brilliant.
Sophie Ward or Naomi Watts as Narcissa
Andrea Riseborought as Merope would also be perfect.

Andrea will be good for Merope, but Anthony seems a bit too old for Morfin, the young Morfin anyway, but that's just my opinion :p.

Any speculation as to who might play "young-adult Tom Riddle"? I highly doubt that they'll re-cast Christian Coulson for the sake of consistency. (Look at the Voldemort casting patterns.)

Personally, I think Stephen Campbell Moore would be great for the part. He was brilliant in 'Bright Young Things'.

If anyone has any idea or has heard a rumor on who the actress will be then let me know please.

better be someone that looks good. if she's butt ugly i will laugh at her, and feel VERY sorry for Rupert.
