ocelot 508 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Now that shooting is finished on the 3rd film does ANYONE know who played Trelawney??????????????????I know she's pretty prominent in the new book and NO I haven't started it yet, so no spoilers in this thread please. I just want to know who is playing her!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCal24 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 No info has been released to my knowledge. It seems to be a mystery worthy of J.K. Rowling herself, minus the many well-placed red herrings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't know who's doing Trellawny, but on imdb it said that Timothy Spall (of the Mike Leigh films) is going to be Pettigew and that David Thewlis (Naked, Dragonheart, Seven years in Tibet) is going to be Lupin! Together with Gray Oldman, Michael Gambon and Alan Rickman, this is shaping up to the finest British cast since Gosford Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't know. But I do know that filming is NOT finished. They just wrapped at Glencoe, and are probably now just shooting elsewhere.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I am beginning to think that I may be right in that Trelawney may end up being a CGI character, only time will tell. She is a very important character, whose importance grows with each book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 this is shaping up to the finest British cast since Gosford Park!Yes, Oldman must be great, and I'm particularly excited about Thewlis. Now let's just hope Williams doesn't back out at the last moment. Marian - wanting fresh Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Now that shooting is finished on the 3rd film does ANYONE know who played Trelawney?I don't know, but when reading I always picture Carol Kane as Trelawny. She'd be perfect, but she's not British so I guess it can't be her.I know she's pretty prominent in the new book and NO I haven't started it yet...Its the best of the series, including book five which I finally just finished reading.

Now let's just hope Williams doesn't back out at the last moment. Marian - wanting fresh Potter. I only hope that they play it serious. Often serious British actors play it comical when in different situations than they're used to. I can't believe the difference between Thewlis' great performance in the wonderful 'Naked' and his really goofy perforamance in the equaly goofy 'Dragonheart'. Although Spall is great both in his serious roles (like Leigh's 'All or Nothing' and in his more lighthearted ones ('Nicholas Nickleby' and Leigh's 'Topsy Turvy'). Oldman is one of my favorite actors. More than any other, he sinks into his his roles and creates great and totaly different characters, irelevent of nationality. His villain in 'Air force One' was the high point of the movie (along with Goldsmith's score of course), His Oswald in JFK was also great, if not particulaly likable, but my favorite is his senator in the 'Contender'. He was fantastic in that role. Just watched 'Sleepy Hollow' again, and I couldn't help but think how Ian McDiarmid would be great in the Potter movies. I think he has the right voice for Quirrel, and he could play both the good side and, obviously, the bad side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelot 508 Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 I loved Oldman in The Fifth Element as well!!!I still think they should have Maggie Smith do trelawney and they can make her look a little different with makeup, besides, she would have a british voice as Trelawney, not Scotish!!!

Dole 17 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I always hoped that Angela Lansbury would be cast as Trelawney. She's such a great character actress. I hope she does some more memorable film roles before she retires/passes away so that audiences won't just remember her as "that lady from Murder She Wrote." She's so much better than that.Dole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure Trelawney is the one. Perhaps Neville's grandmother, if she gets her role expanded in future books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 508 Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 About Tilda? I was thinking she looks the part when I said she was great, she is a great actress, but then I was thinking, can she do comedy? I've never seen her handle a comedic role before, always very dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 yes, Tilda is out, and Angela is just too old for the part. It calls for a 40 something actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 The rumor is the trailer will show up in front of Matrix Revolutions. Is it really smart to advertise a popular kids film in front of a hard "R" rated film? Like I said, at this point I just think this is a rumor.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dole 17 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I think I'll start lobbying from now for Angelica Houston to play madame Maxime!!!!!!!!!! Not sure, but I don't think she's British. She's the granddaughter of Oscar-winning actor Walter Huston and the daughter of Oscar-winning director John Huston who both, as far as I know, lived in California. Too bad though, she's a great actress. But there are still so many great British actors to choose from...Julie Andrews, Judi Dench, Malcolm McDowell, Ian McKellan, Elizabeth Taylor, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, etc.Dole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 508 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Madame Maxime is not British. They are only casting British people for British roles. Simce Madame Maxime is French, they might go with a French actress, but more than likely, any actress that fits the role can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
