And besides no matter what any of those kids do movie wise from here on. They will always be the harry potter kids. And that isnt a bad thing.

one thing for which I'm glad for them is that through all of this, they're getting to work with British actors who know their sh!t. - znufrii Jun 25, 07:51 20
- Bah...I disagree. They worked with some very talented actors, who are all British. nm - Jim Jun 25, 08:13 11
  - Could you, in theory, put together an american ensemble like that? Probably. Would they be household names? I doubt it. - znufrii Jun 25, 08:16 10
    - Come on...before Potter was Maggie Smith a household name? - Jim Jun 25, 08:23 3
      - branagh absolutely was. maggie smith had two oscars and three other nominations. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 08:26
      - household names in Britain, I wouldn't doubt. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:23 1
        
        household names in Britain come a lot cheaper :) -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:25
    - This should be a poll on the next board. McGonagall - Meryl Streep -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:19 5
      - Sure...he's not an old white guy...but Morgan Freeman would make a wonderful Dumbledore. -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 08:23 1
        
        for some reason I was thinking Paul Giamatti -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:24
      - Snape -- Daniel Day Lewis -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:20 2
        
        British! Recast with American actors only. -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:21 1
        
        why did i think he was American? -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 08:22
- She was good in Ballet Shoes. -- nm - LMS Jun 25, 07:56
- are you saying brit actors are better? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:52 6
  - There certainly are standout American actors, but as a whole, in my experience, the Brits are more skilled in the craft. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 07:54
  - Maybe more down-to-earth and less caught up in celebrity (generally speaking) -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:54 4
    - as opposed to "Telly presenters" I guess. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:59 1
      - Oh absolutely - in some ways the celebrity culture in the UK is worse than the US. But actors like Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, etc aren't part of that -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 08:01
    - It's also their adherence and respect of language and text imo. -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 07:56 1
      - That's a good point - improvising and the 'method' are much more important in the US -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:58
