Who would you cast in the 5th movie?

Elanor · 10-26-2005, 10:04 PM

Who would you recommend for the new cast members in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? Remember, they have to be British!

Here are the ideas I've heard (I've looked them all up on The Internet Movie Database to make sure they fit the most basic criteria):

Dolores Umbridge- short, plump, nasty, old:
Judy Dench- great, but I doubt she'd do it
Imelda Staunton- my favorite. She has recently said she's got the part, but Warner Brothers hasn't confirmed it yet. The director says they're talking to her.
Pam Ferris (Aunt Marge)- She's been in HP already, but who says she can't play another part?
Elizabeth Spriggs (Fat Lady)- same
Patricia Routledge
Brenda Blethlyn

Bellatrix Lestrange- dark, evil, remnants of good looks (lots can be done with makeup):
Elizabeth Hurley- too Hollywood
Helena Bonham Carter- great, but not likely
Helen McCrory- my favorite. She did a great nasty job in Count of Monte Cristo, as Villefort's wife.
Catherine Zeta-Jones- too Hollywood
Rachel Weisz- not Bellatrix's type.
Natascha McElhone
Sienna Guillory
Kate Beckinsale
Chloe Annett
Juliet Landau (grew up in London)

Luna Lovegood- 14, blond, big eyes, loony:
Alakina Mann
Tamzin Merchant
They're currently holding auditions for schoolgirls in Britain, so it will probably be a newbie.

Nymphadora Tonks- 20's, heart-shaped face:
Rachel Weisz- she'd be great, but maybe too Hollywood.
Kate Winslet- ditto, but she's not quite impish enough IMO
Helena Bonham Carter- almost perfect, if a bit old.
Keira Knightley- too Hollywood (and too young IMO)
Kelly Macdonald
Kate Ashfield
Anna Friel- she'd be cool.
Jane Horrocks- very talented.
Sarah-Jane Potts
Jodhi May
Emily Mortimer

Kingsley Shacklebolt- tall, black:
Lenny Henry (Shrunken Head)- wants to do it, apparently.
Colin Salmon- just about perfect for the part
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Oris Erhuero
Eamonn Walker
I haven't heard any ideas. I'm guessing it will be someone we haven't heard of.

Young Marauders, Lily, and Snape:
I have no ideas, except that Daniel Radcliffe should play James. We don't know if that scene will be in the movie, though there is a rumor that they're doing auditions for Lily...

Also, Robbie Coltrane who plays Hagrid might drop out. If so, Mel Smith is the only other actor I can picture as Hagrid. He plays Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night and the Albino in Princess Bride.

So please tell me your opinions. I'd be glad to hear any new ideas!

Thats an interesting list... but i think it should be all new actors, that way you remeber them more as that character, instead of what other roles they've done.

Alan Rickman isn't going to play Snape in the 5th movie?!?!?!?

He will forever be Snape for me....I love Snape! He's one of my favorite characters

Actually, after watching some of Gary Oldman's movies, I think he would have made a great Snape. Of course that's out of the question now that he's Sirius...
