If you review the new characters casting choices you would
be hard put to find better actors/actresses for the role...
but their are a few interesting details that have been overlooked.
By recent review of Allan Rickmans filmography you'll notice
that he recently worked with two of the main characters before.
Michael Gambon appeared with Rickman in the 2002 edition
of "Standing Room Only". Gambon is by far the best choice
for Dumbledore since the previous actors death. One can only
assume that Rickman put in a good word for Gambon since they
had recently worked so closely together.
Another recent film starring Allan Rickman is "Love Acctually".
Though critics are mixed on the rating of this movie; Rickmans
performance is un-canny as always.
Emma Thompson, the pick of the litter for Proffesor Trelawny
stars opposite Rickman as his character's wife. I'm sure his
good impression of her acting ability lead to a kick-in-the-bum
for the casting director of POA.
Fans of HP can only hope that with the release of POA we
will get a glimpse of all the cast talents. Including those
new additions that got the thumbs up from our favorite
Prof. snape (rickman).
