pegkerrI rather like the look of the newly cast Luna Lovegood. Apparently she beat out 15,000 others for the role.
Edited to add: I poked around a bit on the site and learned that she is obsessed by the books and actually wrote to Jo Rowling several years ago saying she was pining to appear in one of the Harry Potter movies. And Rowling wrote back and told her, "Don't give up, you never know." This was years before the casting decision. Rather nice. (Of course, one wonders how many children in total Jo has said that to.)
And I've always loved Imelda Staunton, who will be playing Prof. Umbridge.
