Imelda Staunton I recognize and will make a capable Umbridge, although when reading the book Judy Dench kept popping into my head as what she would look like. Beyond that dont recognize any of them, although I dont think those roles are screaming for anyone in particular, with the exception of Lestrange maybe needing someone a little menacing.

He's the guy who played Katanga, the boat captain. "Mr. Jones. . . I've heard a lot about you, Sir. Your appearance is exactly the way I imagined!"
I've never seen him in anything else, so this'll be neat if it pans out. And Kingsley Shacklebot's a cool character, too.

My favorite part of seeing Goblet of Fire was when all the 13-14 year old girls in the theater all said with disdain "Boy, he got fat" when Potter appeared on-screen.

Who the fuck is "Magorian"? Phoenix is my least favorite book so can someone refresh me who this character is? I might even skip this one in the theaters. I'll just wait out HBP.

Magorian was one of the centaurs at the end of the book
I don't remember the role even being that significant.

Seems like what Fox did with Singer and X-Men to me. ASSUME he's waiting to be signed whenever they get around to it.
