Dream Harry Potter casting

I was just looking at the OotP page over on imbd.com and someone suggested Gabriel Byrne as Lord Voldemort. I think hed be perfect.

Also, the same message boards say that only European actors can be chosen for the parts, apparently this is what JK Rowling wants. There was no evidence sited to back this up, does anyone know if its true?

I thought I’d heard the same thing (but only British actors, not European).

Gabriel Byrne’s played Satan before, so he might have some idea how to play moldy Voldy. :wink:

Also, according to the same messageboards*, Tom Felton (Draco) wants to go to University so he might not be signing on for OotP, and from mugglenet.com Alan Horn (Pres of WB) had to appeal to Emma Watson (Hermione) to get her to return for Goblet of Fire, it would be a pity to see her go, shes definately the better actor of the three.

Im going now, and Im not posting in a HP thread for at least 12 hours!

Same here! And definitely Ewan McGregor as Bill Weasley

How about:

Mad Eye Moony: Liam Neeson
Kingsley Shacklebolt: Samuel L. Jackson (too bad he’s not British, though)

Kate is a hell of a lot prettier than Gwyneth.

Helen Mirren or Judy Dench as that Ministry Bitch

Kate as Tonks definitely works for me! Has anyone heard whether they’re going to keep the Barty Crouch plot in “Goblet of Fire”? Because if that gets axed or tinkered with, there would be one less Barty to cast. I had heard that John Malkovich would be playing Voldemort. Could just be a rumor though.

IMDb reported that a while back, but I think posters here debunked it.

Wasn’t Jeremy Irons already in as Voldemort for #4? If not then he definately should.
Also, I always pictured Anthony Hopkins as Moody while I was reading the book. It’s a shame they couldn’t get him.

Whatever happened to the rumor that Rowan Atkinson was cast as Voldemort? Was that debunked?

Don’t they kind of have to? Because it’s pretty essential to the plot-the false Moony being the one who puts Harry’s name in the Goblet.

Parker Posey as Rita Skeeter.

Even though I think she’s very, very beautiful (lovely features, lovely face)…Kate Winslet is way too old to play Fleur. I also think Fleur is depicted as being very tall and slim and I think Kate Winslet is only medium-sized and hourglass shaped.

When I think Fleur I think Leelee Sobieski (sp?)

Alyson Hannigan as Tooks? She knows the magic casting but hates to be made up extensively, though. Not good for a transformer.

As long as we’re in the Buffyverse, how about hubby Alexis Denisof as Barty Jr.? I forget how old Jr. is supposed to be, but that handsome classy unhinged type is his forte.

Going to the equally improbable theater world–Faith Prince or Donna Murphy as Rita Skeeter. Krisitin Chenoweth as Fleur. Taye Diggs as Kingsley. David Garrison as Barty Senior.

And back to the Brits, there must be a place for Rowan Atkinson somewhere. He’s terrific.
