Harry Potter and the Search For a Slughorn.
So as I'm reading the 7th, and final, book of the Harry Potter series I began thinking about casting for the 6th film. There are a few important characters in the 6th novrel that emerge anew that will need to be cast. However, the most important is probably Horace Slughorn. I was thinking Bob Hoskins. What do you all think? Obviously he has to be British. He also has to be enormously fat, bald and old (at least that's how the novel describes him). I don't think Bob Hoskins is enormously fat by any means but he'd do very well in the role. Perhaps the role has already been cast. If that is the case then please enlighten me. I checked IMDB.com and it didn't say.

My vote is for Jim Broadbent, but Hoskins would be sweet. Both are fantastic actors, and either would make me piddle. I trust their casting choices, however - everyone so far has kicked ass. In my heart I'd been hoping Judi Dench would be Umbridge, but Imaulda Staunton (spelling?) fucking owned that part. Maybe whoever they don't use could play Luna Lovegood's dad?
Actually, I never thought of Jim Broadbent. He is a great actor and I think he would be great as Luna's father because he sorta has a goofy look to him.
