Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

v 3 is here

Who will play the remaining uncast parts in the final three movies.

This is the place to post your speculations on Tonks, Bellatrix, Narcissa, Slughorn, etc.

Have fun

According to this article, Judi Dench, Hugh Grant, Helena Bonham Carter, Colin Firth, Simon Callow, Joanna Lumley, and Christopher Lee are the well-known British actors left to cast.

I for one would like to see Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix. Christopher Lee would be a good choice for Scrimgeour, but I hope Liam Neeson gets that part.

DOH! what was i thinking!
Helena Bonham Carter is like... perfect. I cant see her as Bellatrix though. Hmmm. I'd make up a character just for her to play.
I agree with you regarding Christopher Lee.
I dont see room for Colin Firth- he's too...... soft for the film. Maybe in the first two, or the 3rd even, but this is WAR- we dont need Mr. Darcy.
Liam Neeson ((i thought he was a Scott!?!?!))-- again, he's ACE!
I don't know the other actors by name, i'm going to have to goolge them.

Yep, that's her, lol. The only film with Lumley in it that I can think of is James and the Giant Peach. Judging by her role in it, Aunt Spiker, I think it's safe to say that she would be spot on for Sirius's mum.

Oh, and she also had a part in Corpse Bride but I can't remember who.

Clive Owen needs a part...any part. Perhaps an older Tom Riddle?

Actually it does matter; the casting directors and JKR herself have said that absolutely no American actors are to be allowed in the films. And, really, would you actually want a non-British actor with a fake accent in the movies?

i dont think the integrity of the work would be sacraficed in any way, then i dont have a problem with it

I don't know about anyone else, but after watching GoF I was really, really glad JKR had put her foot down about having only British actors in the films- and it isn't just about the integrity of the matter, it also works out economically, given that all the filming takes place in the U.K.

My personal choice would be Helena Bonham Carter for Bellatrix, and (if they keep her role in) someone unknown for Merope. Possibly Emily Blunt from My Summer of Love- she's just about the right age, too.

And btw, Kate Winslet is British. Not American (I seem to be getting that from posts further up the page).

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)

True. Clive isn't a spring chicken anymore. But I would like to see him in some role. Paul Bettany also seems a candidate...but for who I don't know.

I dunno you know . . . she could be quite good . . . if she looked the way she did in Fight Club. Besides, did Narcissa actually do much in the book?

I think people missed the suggestion: Narcisa - Emily Watson. I think she would be fantastic.

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.

As for Liam Neeson, I think he would be brilliant as the new Minister.

Or maybe Tom Riddle Father. No one can deny that Fiennes looks a lot like him.

What about one of the D'Abo sisters for Narcissa?

eta: I guess they're not sisters, but rather cousins. Olivia and Maryam.

A personal favourtie of mine is Claudia Black for Narcissa. She has a kind of dark appeal to her.

Maybe Miranda Otto for Tonks. A couple of wigs may be needed though.

Hehe, just noticed their both Australian. Coincedence. =p
