I was speculating the other day who should play new Harry Potter characters in HBP and OotP (i'm not sure if they have got all the actors for OotP yet?) I can't wait to see who plays Tonks, i have heard people comment on Keira Knightly, Helena Bonam-carter and Anna Friel. Any one know anyone else? I don't know who would be the best out of them. It would be funny if it was Anna Friel though becuase hasn't she just had David's baby? I may have got coonfused with this but i am sure i have read that somewhere. Prof. Slughorn: i read somewhere that Bob Hoskins would make a good slughorn but i disagree i don't see Bob anything like may Slughorn, I actully picture him simular to Uncle Vernon and i have a actor in my head to play him but i can not for the life of me remember the name. Back to OotP i have the best person to play Kingsley Shaklebolt. A man named Brian Bovell, he is a british actor that had a small part in Love actually as the radio DJ. he was also in Gimme Gimme Gimme with the great Kathy Burke (who i think would be an good Umbridge) and most recently The Bill, i am sure he is not in it any more though. He is my Kingsley so i am hoping Morfin Gaunt: I read somewhere (i think it was mugglenet) That Rhys Ifans would be a good Morfin which i think is right he would be brillient. Especially with the recent Oasis musis Video which he is brillient in! Mavolo Gaunt: Hmmm anyone got any sugestions? Merope Gaunt: While i am thinking of a very good Britney murfy peformance i know that all the actors have to be british but i do think she would be brillient, ugly her up a bit a i can see the performance now! Any one have any other sugestions? There are lots of other characters of corse but i'll leave that to everyone else to sugesst people for. Happy Posting Winky

ooh, I have been pondering this too. my big casting Questions are Narcissa, (who we should see in GOF) and Bellatrix I don't know many British actors by name, so is it ok if I suggest " type" actors and maybe you guys will know someone British to fit the bill? I still haven't figured out how to work Sean bean into the films... but I will:evil: anyways... I like Helena Bonham-Carter for Tonks..Kiera Knightly is too skinny for my tonks.. don't know Anna friel..(maybe we should post images for dummies like me ;D) I agree that hoskins is a poor choice for slughorn, I imagined him with the bulk of uncle vernon but a softness in his features like Ian Holm

I know people have mentioned Liz Hurley for Bellatrix but i ma not sure. I read on Mugglenet about someone playing Bellatrix, can't for the life of me remember who it was now. I will have to do some serching. I have my Narcissa in my head but the woman i think of her as is not an actress i think more of a model. Her name is Nancy Sorrel she is married to comedian Vic reeves and was in the last i'm a celebrity get me out of her. She has the harshness in the face that i think of Narcissa like. Are we going to see Narcissa in GoF? I know i am distraught over no Dobby and [glow=red,2,300]Winky![/glow]

I always pictured Brian Cox as Karkarof for GOF. He played baddie William Stryker in XMen2. His character in that is how I picture Karkarof. I don't know who is actually playing him? I can see Anna Friel as Tonks now you mentioned it! uploadyourimages.com/view/246702david_gracie.jpgThis is David and Anna with baby Gracie (For some reason it won't show the pic on the boards!) Isifa.com have some gorgeous pics of the three of them if anyone wants to see any more.

I can see Anna Friel as Tonks now you mentioned it! I can see her as Tonks i think it would be so funny for her to be Tonks because of the Lupin/Tonks love at the end of HBP. What do you think of my suggestion for Kingsley? I'm beggining to think that no one knows who Brian Bowell is! edit: got it wrong the man's name is Brian Bovell oops!

I can see Anna Friel as Tonks now you mentioned it! Hmmm...I dunno....maybe if she chopped her hair off because I always imagine Tonks with short spiky hair. Narcissa was in GoF? I really do have to reread GoF again! I'm actually "a okay" having no Dobby and Winky in the movies. I think house elves are annoying even in the books. I feel so mean now for saying that. I apologize for any of you who adore house elves. I just don't really like them. Plus, if they had them in the movie, they would probably look fake which would make them more annoying. Just my opinion, though...

We see Narcissa at the Quidditch world cup... as one of the trio says she whas a look on her face like she smelled something rottin'
and as for Bellatrix, I have always imagined a Susan Sarandon type... got a British version?

Yeah thats her. They'll have to do some serious makeup on her if they are going to get her close to my Bellatrix. Liz Hurley is the nearest i have seen so far and i wouldn't say she was brilliant, again makeup could do the trick. Here is a couple of pics of Brian Bovell, thats if the damm thing will work for me. Woo hoo! it worked, right then the one with the glasses, no not the ginger one! Thats Kathy Burke she is an acting comedian genius! Heres another as well. I'm on a role, I'm not going to stop now! Woo hoo another score! What do you all think of my Kingsley shacklebolt then?

Right this is the only mere-decent picture i have of Nancy Sorrell she will more than likely never play Narcissa Malfoy but she kind of the way i picture her. Now she all glammed up he but with less makeup she looks much more like my Narcissa. What do you all think? Just found a pic of Rhys Ifans who i think would be a good Morfin Gaunt. Hmmm?

Cheers, Rhys Ifans is a brilliant actor have you never seen him before? I know what you mean about Nancy i was trying to get a picture of her with no make-up but that was hard being that she is a model, i think she looks a bit evil at times, not in a bad way of corse. I like your choice for Narcissa as well my narcissa is younger i don't know why.

I really can see Bob Hoskins as Slughorn,imo he is perfect,he is a brilliant actor and he is a brit...he would be so coollll I would also like to see the actor Ken Stott having a part in one of the films,I dont know what character,but I feel he is a great actor,anyone in the UK would know him from Messiah...He is amazing.... I still want Dame Judi Dench to play Umbridge though...She is the queen of the stage and screen,and to have her battle it out with Dame Maggie,and our Alan,who have all worked together before,what a film.......

What do you think about Jeremy Irons as Marvolo Gaunt? Can't say why, but his name just came up.

What do you think about Jeremy Irons as Marvolo Gaunt? Can't say why, but his name just came up. *Trying to think what Jeremy Irons looks like?* Have you a pic? Ringo: I think Dame Judi Dench would be great as Umbridge I'm sure she could pull a good performance out of the character.

Jeremy Irons is the bloke who impersonated our Alan's Snape for comic relief here in the UK,and he was Hans Grubers brother in Die Hard 3...Hope that helps...I cant say I am a big fan of his,but he is a good actor... Glad that you like my choice of Dame Judi,I think she is superb and would really like to see her in that role,but I bet they choose someone else who is no where near the same league as her,I did think of Helen Mirren as well,she and Alan could have a smashing time together again...oh,Anthony and Cleopatra all over again....well sort of....hehehehe

I don't know why but i picture Umbridge as Jo Brand i think she would be great as looks go for me as Umbridge but I'm not sure what she is like at acting! As for Helan Mirren i don't think i could see her as any one in HP. Her how i picture Umbridge for those of you who don't know who Jo Brand is:
