More Harry Potter news, and it's big--Brendan Gleeson ("THAT'S MY WIFE, HOR!") will play Mad-Eye Moody. Frances de la Tour will play Madame Maxime.

I was so hoping that Sean Connery would be Mad-Eye Moody. Oh, well. ^_^

[kotszok]

Damn. That would have been the ONLY reason for me to have actually seen it.

fabulous!!

and i dont know how many non-uk people will know francis de la tour, but trust me, its fantastic casting. i saw her last year in 'dance of death' with sir ian, and am due to see her again in the new alan bennett.

i dont know what they're paying the casting people for harry potter, but it isnt enough.

ooh really? are you a londoner as well?

[cleolinda]

Ooo! If she's good enough for Sir Ian, she's good enough for me. Seriously, the casting folks have done an excellent job, and without pandering to the "We want hot guys!" contingent. (I admit, I cherished hopes of Ewan for Lupin, but once you've cast Alan Rickman for Snape, you've got to cast in that age group). I fully expect any British actor who's anyone to show up in the series before it's over with.

I first read this as Brendan Fraser, and I was like "Mad-Eye Moody is going to be a little... beefier."
