You're right about DD Lizzy, in both respects, and Mark Williams was Arthur Weasley.

Alan Rickman (Snape) has been in tons of movies, but I think my favourite was playing Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest.

Maggie Smith (McGonagall) shone as Mother Superior in both the Sister Act movies.

Jason Isaac, Aka Lucius Malfoy in Black Hawk Down.....Now that was TOO much. Seeing it again, after seeing CoS I almost fell over laughing. Jason Isaac is bald....hahaha, shaved to the skin. Blad Lucius...AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Daniel Radcliffe was in David Copperfield...why, I don't know. But he was...*sigh*

I didn't realise that was LM in Blackhawk Down. Now I'm going to have to watch it again.

If thats the case he was also Clark Devlin in The Tuxedo.

What a difference a little hair colour and attitude make. :eek:

Alan Rickman. He's been fantastic in every film I've ever seen him in. From the terrorist / EXCEPTIONAL thief in Die Hard to the Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazaras in GalaxyQuest to Professor Snape in Harry Potter, he knows his roles, and plays them very well.

Oh yes, Alan Rickman is a great actor. Have you seen him in "Dogma"? His first entrance in this movie, that was hilarious! But also other his films like "Sense and Sensibility" (yummy) or "Michael Collins". Anyway, I watched "Anne and the King" recently and was surprised to find Draco there.

Robbie Coltrane - Yeah, he was in two Bond movies, Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough, I believe, as the Russian casino-owner and criminal Valentin Zukovsky.

Maggie Smith - Been in lots of stuff. Hook among them.

Dumbledore in CoS is not Gandalf. Richard Harris, not Ian McKellen. You can see Ian McKellen in a picture in Harris's office, though, lol.

Kenneth Branagh - Also been in lots of stuff.

Jason Isaacs - Usually a villain. Hook in the upcoming Peter Pan. The villain (Tavington?) of The Patriot w/ Mel Gibson. As a good guy in Blackhawk Down (and barely recognizable).

I believe Dan Radcliffe was in David Copperfield.

If you like the cast of HP, I'd recommend Kenneth Branagh's version of Henry V. It's a great adaptation of the play, outstanding music, and features Branagh, Maggie Smith, and Robbie Coltrane. See if you can find them (shouldn't be too hard, though Smith and Coltrane have more minor roles).

Robbie Coltrane - Alice in Wonderland (1999) :grin: I loooove this movie!! recomend it to anyone.

Dan Radcliff - "Tailor of Panama" :evil: dont watch it.....he appears 3 times for 2 seconds each. ANd the movie was sooo boring - I went to take a shower during it, paying my friend $2 to tell me if I miss a snippet of Dan in it.

David Copperfield was good on the other hand. But you only need to watch 1st part - because he only playes the Main character when he is a kid (obviously)

John Cleese (Nearly-headless Nick) played several parts in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A few of them include the Black Knight ("tis merley a flesh wound"), Sir Lancelot, and a French Knight ("your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries!") :lol: man, I love that movie.

John Cleese and Robbie Coaltrain have both been in two James Bond films; Coaltrain in Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough, as a Russian mobster / businessman; Cleese as R in The World is Not Enough and Q in Die Another Day. However, they never share a scene in either film. Come to think of it, I don't think they shared a scene in either HP film either.

I don't know how to edit posts, so I'll do this. I'm mistaken on the Henry V. I said Maggie Smith was in it, it's actually Judi Dench, whoops.
