: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Geek Boy July 20, 2005, 02:53:27 AM Anybody have any suggestions? Sensible or wishful thinking?
Scrimgeour? Slughorn? I know it's the wrong film but I think Prunella Scales would be PERFECT for Umbridge in OOTP : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 02:56:29 AM Oh deary me. I don't know I can't even say Scrimgeour ::)
Oh yes that would be good. I'm looking forward to Minandra Richardson as Rita Skeeter, she's going to be great I'm sure. Do I have enough time to become a famous actress before OoTP, if I could have a wish it would be to play Tonks. *Oh look them there flying pigs* : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Nienna July 20, 2005, 03:07:30 AM Maybe they'll get Anna Friel to play Tonks ... ;)
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 03:10:13 AM A two for one offer like Dawn French and Lenny Henry. Although I thought they were taking it in turns to look after the kid.
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Nienna July 20, 2005, 03:18:07 AM I would think they'd bring the nipper with them - so it would be three-for-the-price-of-one! :P
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 03:20:14 AM Lol yeah. I have a feeling I won't like who plays Tonks I feel very close to her, and I wasn't sure about Lupins protrayal
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Geek Boy July 20, 2005, 03:33:51 AM A two for one offer like Dawn French and Lenny Henry. Although I thought they were taking it in turns to look after the kid. Dawn French is already the Fat Lady ;) How about Sue Pollard (of Hi De Hi fame) - she's suitably dotty for a role in HP. : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 03:52:54 AM Yes and Lenny was the shunken head thats what I meant that they got a two for one ;)
But who would sue suit. I'm still not sure about Francis De la tour for Madam Maxine too shinny. : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Geek Boy July 20, 2005, 03:59:15 AM Yes and Lenny was the shunken head thats what I meant that they got a two for one ;) Ah... got you. I must have been asleep at that bit but then Lenny does have that effect on me... : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 04:01:12 AM Oh dear, I do hate to point this out but Lenny's Shrunken head was right at the beginning ;)
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Geek Boy July 20, 2005, 06:18:58 PM Zzzzzzz... wha? Oh sorry ;)
Sue Pollard would have made a good Trelawney though. I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan or Christopher Lee at some point. Sean Connery wouldn't be a bad idea either but I guess Harry Potter wouldn't be his cup of tea. I always thought Connery would have been great in Star Trek or Star Wars : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : mcgonagall July 20, 2005, 07:02:28 PM Connery would be a great Prime Minister of England lmao
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 07:06:19 PM Oh no I think Tony Head (Antony Stewart Head) from Buffy he's tops in Little Britain ;)
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Roz July 20, 2005, 07:59:21 PM I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan or Christopher Lee at some point. I'm going to say something that I am sure you will all disagree with. But I think Christopher Lee would have made a good Dumbledore. He's dying to play less evil parts (actually he wanted to play Gandalf in LOTR), and Dumbledore (to be that incredibly powerful wizard) has to have an "edge" to him like Lee does. I think he has also got an on screen presence which Dumbledore needs and which neither Richard Harris nor Michael Gambon have so far brought to the part - don't get me wrong, I love Gambon, but not necessarily as Dumbledore. : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 20, 2005, 08:05:02 PM I liked Richard harris a lot better than Michael Gambon but then that couldn't be helped :-\

I'm going to say something that I am sure you will all disagree with. But I think Christopher Lee would have made a good Dumbledore. I don't disagree at all - I think you've made a great point. Christopher Lee would have been ideal for the part. As for Harris & Gambon, I like Gambon better, he brings a bit more personality and a bit more mischief to the character. Dumbledore is really a big kid underneath it all and Gambon nailed that aspect quite nicely. Connery would be a great Prime Minister of England lmao :rofl: Very funny. He loves his homeland so much he doesn't even LIVE there... On the subject of Little Britain, how about Matt Lucas for Slughorn? : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola July 21, 2005, 03:09:42 AM On the subject of Little Britain, how about Matt Lucas for Slughorn? OMG yes ;D: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Sharon July 21, 2005, 04:08:59 PM I am afraid I am going to need a time turner for the actor I wanted to play Slughorn. It is Nigel Bruce who was the original Dr Watson opposite Basil Rathbones Sherlock Holmes. And just to clarify things, no I am not old enough to remember this first time round :o
I like the idea of Tony Head as PM ;D : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Geek Boy July 21, 2005, 06:57:25 PM How about Clive Swift for Slughorn? He was Hyacinth Buckets long suffering husband in Keeping Up Appearances. Ooh, what about Geoffrey Yates who played Hyacinth's brother Onslow?
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Roz July 21, 2005, 07:07:04 PM Someone has a newly developed Keeping up appearances obsession ;) no actually they are both good ideas - I'd love to see Clive Swift take on such a part. Apparently Yates is a really nice guy who enjoys gardening - not at all like Onslow ;)
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : siriusdogstar July 24, 2005, 10:27:43 PM Ooh, what about Geoffrey Yates who played Hyacinth's brother Onslow? Yes, but he's been type cast as being a bit dim - I don't think he has the craftiness of Slughorn. I can't think of anyone fat enough, can you, so it'd have to be a body-suit job. : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : santo August 09, 2005, 09:23:36 AM One magazine cast Bob Hoskins for Slughorn and I agree.
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : ferdinand_the_yak August 09, 2005, 09:28:14 AM He's American though, isn't he?
I don't know any British actors who woulc fit that role... I thought Brian Cox would have made a good Moody and Brendan Gleeson Slughorn, but I don't think that the other way around would work well... : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Sharon August 10, 2005, 01:43:37 AM Bob Hoskins is definately a Londoner but I don't think he is big enough for Slughorn (not just girth, Bob is quite short). I also got the impression that Slughorn would be a 'posh' - certainly well spoken. For all his acting skill Bob Hoskins is to posh accents what Dick Van Dyke was to Cockney accents :-\
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Nienna August 10, 2005, 01:44:11 AM I thought Bob Hoskins was a Brit ... born and bred in London! ;)
I would have loved to see Patrick Stewart play Mad Eye .. ;D : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Sharon August 10, 2005, 01:46:22 AM I would have loved to see Patrick Stewart play Mad Eye .. Now that would have been inspired casting. Anyone who saw him in Moby Dick would know he would be perfect :o= : Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : darthmactor September 23, 2005, 10:11:46 AM Billy Connolly as Scrimgeour; it is so a perfect fit.
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : pinksamstar October 08, 2006, 05:39:01 PM oh definitly billy Connolly for Scrimegoer, i think he'd have to loose the crazy coloured goatee lol. i love the matt lucas for slughorn, and a very camp David Walliams for Snape hahahahaa im very bored today lol :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
: Re: Who will play these characters in the inevitable film? : Morningangel-Iola October 09, 2006, 01:29:33 AM Lucas does have the shape for Slughorn :)
