That's too bad about Naomi Watts not being available... Oh well, I'm always wrong in my casting choices anyway...

About Maryetta Coleman... She isn't British, is she? I cannot find anything on her other than her being in the new movie Dreamer with Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell...

On the subject of Sarah Alexander's perkiness: I know her, mostly, as Susan on Coupling, so I can definitely see where you would see her as extremely perky. I think she could do well in a very serious role, however. I think she could carry off the kind of intensity Narcissa would require.

Cheers!

Sean Connery?! Please God, no!

I think Johnathan Pryce is a good call though, Simon Callow too. Both have a real stage presence and I think could carry off his commanding aspect very well.

Alexei Sayle?

'Doctor martan, doctor martan doctor martan boots!'

'Whenever people bother me, when they shout and raise their voices, I don't let it get me down, I just make some stupid noises!'

I never thought that i'd be able to quote the 'Young ones' in this

(Snuffles hehehe)

However i can't really see him as Slughorn though, it would be amusing though, in that accent!! Lol

i quite like the idea of steven fry too

(snuffles)

I don't think Stephen Fry's physique'd suit the role. He couldn't be made into the rotund feet-don't-reach-the-floor-when-he's-sitting down Slughorn... I just can't picture that. Fry could play one of the Death Eaters instead...

I'd still go for Ian Holm.

I realyy don't know . who is Slughorn????

by the way i haven't read 6th book yet , but i wil start tomorow

i don't know , maybe...Courtney Low???? she looks evil a bit , but she isn't elegant or select and she hasn't got snub nose i gues it wouldn't be very popular actriss, nobody is

he's a new teacher in the 6th book....

you don't like Sean Connery? hmmm, Scottish Pride! I like connery, but i don't think he'll ake a good slughorn,

Bob hoskins...what's happened to him, has anyone seen him in any thing recently, hmmmm.

I rekcon Ian Holm will probably be best. He's the best actor there. I still like the idea of Gregor Fisher though

Hoskins still does from 2 to 4 movies a year.

He just did Beyond the sea with Kevins Spacey ,Unleashed with Jet Li and Morgan Freeman and STAY with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts.

I think h'd be great as Slughorn

I think that Naomi watts and Nicole kidman are great actresses but unfortunately..they're both australian...so they can't play the part of narcissa....but I think that catherine-zeta jones would be amazing as narcissa...who agrees...or do you guys think she's too pretty?

Also i think that it be great for Rachael Weisz to play the part of Bellatrix....and plus...she and catherine zeta jones kinda look alike right?...

I think Claudia Schiffer would be the perfect Narcissa Malfoy
She has a fair face and platin blond hair
Furthermore, she' s slim and tall enough.

On the subject of Naomi Watts being Australian, well, you are partly right (as am I), KaYing. Take a look here...

Of course, we're really talking technicality here...

Interesting stuff...

Cheers!

WHO?! (LOL)!

Thank you. I can't believe I didn't remember that I was told the same thing at another forum Thank you again!

I think Nicole Kidman wouldn't be a good Narzissa, i think she's not pretty enough and she doesn't look as arrogant as Claudia
I know that Claudia will never play the role of Narzissa (although this really isn't a fastidious role), but that's how I've imagined her

Nichole Kidman is gorgeous compared to Watts and Claudia. I like Kidman as an actress however she isn't full of herself enough to play the role. Although acting isn't about who you are in real life, it is about who you are on screen, if she wasnted to play an evil witch, then I think she could pull it off. It just isn;t her nature to play such roles, therefore I don't think she will take it. Watts isn't right either, I don;t know what it is but she won't fit. Claudia Schiffer, no way, no talent and her looks aren't right. Catehrine Zeta - definitely not, too dark, too flashy. Maryetta is ok looking, but I don't know enough about her.

I know that the cast has too be british, but wouldn't Hudson Leick be a perfect canidate. SHe could play either Bellatirix or Narcissa.

Ok....I don't completely agree that Catherine-z-j wouldn't be that great...you never know...she's an amazing actress.
But since some people don't fully agree then I was really thinkg about who would be really good for the role of Narcissa...and I thought Saffron Burrows...Alot of you may not know who she is but she plays the role of Andromache in Troy...(the wife of Hector)...I think she's got "narcissa written all over her face....

I would suggest Alison Doody for the role of Narcissa.

She played Elsa Schneider in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

She was born in Ireland, has a cool, intense blonde beauty, and is just the right age, being born in 1966.

It's been awhile since she did Indiana Jones, but she was actually set to play Eowyn in the LOTR films. She unfortunately (or fortunately, depending, ), was having a baby then, and so they hired Miranda Otto for the role--so she she must still look fairly young.

I seem to remember reading in one of the HP books that Lucius Malfoy was 43, so she would be around that age as well.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is lovely, but she's also fairly famous, and if I'm not mistaken, has a pretty inflated view of her fame. I doubt she'd want this role, it wouldn't belarge enough for her.

MOD EDIT 2 : Thank you and good night. I hope you enjoy your banned status.

oh i absolutely love the chioce of Simon Callow or Jeremy Irons. they both look like someone who could play rufus really well.

my boss, seriously everytime i see him i have to fight down a laugh, he looks like a walrus!, he'd be perfect for it, physically at least, he's got the charisma of a wet lettuce!

lol, as far as a real actor goes i dont really know, i really cant think of a british actor that looks like a walrus!

it probably would never happen. but i kinda saw Ian Mckellen as the new minister. he'd look good with the shaggy gray hair and mustache.

When I read HBP, I pictured James Cosmo as Slughorn. If he grew out his facial hair and put on a fat suit he'd make a good slughorn.

I have somebody! I realize he's really up there in age, but Christopher Lee (Count Dooku from Star Wars, Saruman from Lord of the Rings), would be perfect! And this would make him in literally all of the big movie franchises.

I have thought about this and the only person that I think would make a good Slughorn is Geofferey Hughes from Keeping up a Appearances and Heartbeat.

Here is a picture

Hi there Devine_Lily I want to remind you that one liners also arent allowed on the forums so please elaborate more in future posts..I am going to move this to the OOTP movie section as I think it will get more response over there..

Well, I have a pick for Narcissa, but it's not any of the people you listed. I think Joely Richardson would be perfect for the role of Narcissa Malfoy. She's Brittish, and I think she is a very good actress...not to mention she looks identical to how Narcissa is described in the books

you can see pics of her

here

here

and

here

Im quite sure that none of them will play Narcissa. I hope WB doesnt even consider them. They are just not right for the role. I think they will cast a no-name actress. Fresh face, you know

My initial thought when casting in my head was Bob Hoskins...I can just picture him chewing his lip trying to tell Harry about the horcruxes...

But, that above pic of the Hughes guy...Man does he look like he could really fit the role...amazing

I don't think it matters if they were in the lord of the rings or not. Ian holm wasnt in it much anyway. It's just a movie half the kids(not all) probably wont know anyway. who cares if people compare it more? people compare things everyday. I can't see anthony hopkins.. Ian holm = yes.

This is a very interesting question. It took me a while to think aobut it. the actesses you have listed are all great, but I just don't see them playing Narcissa. I don't know why. They just didn't click in my head. I think I would cast Gwynneth Paltrow as Narcissa. I think she could do the "bad smell beneath her nose" look very well.

I think Joely Richardson would be a good choice. Not only does she have the blond hair going, but she's a good actress. Her sister, Natasha Richardson, would work too. What does everyone else think?

Geoffrey Hughes would be a good choice to play Slughorn. I saw him on Keeping Up Appearances as Onslow, and I just burts out laughing imagining him with a walrus mustache. Good times.

im gunnin' for ian holm he was awesome in LOTR and hes got enough humour and drunkin ability to make a perfect Horace.

He may be a tad to short for how i personally imagine im.

-Sarah

i think no american star should be entered as her!!!
just a normal new british woman!

I am not sure how many times people have to be told that only British actors can be considered. Looking at Ms. Richardson, she seems to have the look. Maybe me? Just kidding, I am short...LOL but I am blonde and in my thirties!!!! LOL

And I could definately act snooty, but to be able to kneel with Prof. Snape in HBP? Wow, what an honour!!!

[SIZE=7]I was just thinking about who was going to play Romilda Vane because something she does in the 6th book leads up to an important part put your ideas of who you think would be good as her. no-names and celebrities are both okay

I see you playing her, lol even though I have not seen you and don't have a clue how you look. However you seam very passion about this character and your the only person I know who was thinking about acting her To me she seam a bit of a stocker, and I would think that she would be very fun character to play, how many time in your life will you get the chance to act out that kind of character (I have not done it in any of my drama/acting class). However stockers are a bit freaking in real life lol

I wonder who will play McClaggan, he is such a funny character. But we shouldn't talk abut him because then we will be going off the topic and I don't think the mod will like that

I am really interested with Merope (Volyds mother) and I hope that they don't cute her out of the film. In a way they can't because she is a key character in knowing Tom Riddles past. Hopeful (if they don't cute her out) I will audition to play her part, I think that my acting skill will have improve over the years (however it is a very long way a way lol and I still have to decide if that character is really for me). I think her character has to embraces a lot

Anyway....Back to the topic .... Romila Vane....If I had to pick a celebrity I wouldn't know, it really depends, the hair colour could easily be died, but to fit the part a person I have not idea I think I got to think abut it a bit more.

well i've been reading the half-blood prince book and i was thinking of when the time comes around for the auditions, i'm going to apply for the audition for the role of either lavender or romilde vane. :rolleyes:

Due to my inability to think of anyone else, I think I'm going to have to throw my hat into the Joely Richardson corner. I think she would pull of Narcissa very well as she is a very fine actress.

I'll do it! for crying out loud - i don't need to act in order to look like i'm in love with harry! And i look like her too.
