British acting royalty and Harry Potter

[m_burlock]

I hope this hasn't been done before but here goes.

What member of British acting royalty would you like to see in a role in a future Potter movie that haven't done so already?

Bob Hoskins needs to play Slughorn in the next movie, he's who I imagined when I was reading it.

Was Brian Cox in a Harry Potter movie yet? Otherwise I'd vote for his fellow Hannibal Lector protrayer, Anthony Hopkins.

I always thought the British/Irish-only rule for Potter was stupid. I think LOTR proved it's the talent and not the passport that counts.

i'd glad to see a film with talented British actor and hardly see a problem with this, as for lotr, the fact that the accents are all over the place, for example the two hobbit brothers who have accents from opposite ends of the British isles, is just one of the things that Irks me about it. Potter is one of the few blockbusters we get to see showcasing British talent, shame the moneys all American, but oh well.

Lol. Well, after seeing the above interview on YouTube that someone posted, I have to agree. Bob Hoskins would be fantastic, especially as Slughorn. Scarfather, you were right on!

Am I the only one who has loved Hoskins since he did Hook? God, he was the perfect Smee!
