Alternatively:Ralph Fiennes (but with his nose this time) or Liam Neeson.
Alternatively:Kristin Scott-Thomas or Gillian Anderson but they might be a bit more Slytherin.
Or:Danny Mays (The Long Shadow,Line of Duty) would also make a great Hagrid.
Severus Snape: Matt Smith
Forget Adam Driver.
Alternatively:StrikeandThe Lazarus Projects Tom Burke could be a winner too.
Plus wed love to see him on a broom.
Alternatively:Michael Smiley, if you want a slightly more haunted Lupin, or how about Christopher Eccleston?
Trelawney is the Divination mistress and Harry, Ron and Hermione think shes a charlatan.
Turns out shes (mostly) not.
Sally Hawkins is surely the queen of playing characters who are underestimated.
Check her out inThe Shape of Water,Blue Jasmineand even the Paddington movies for proof.
Alternatively:Wed love to see Daisy May Cooper give it a shot.
Lockhart is pompous, arrogant, self absorbed, a committed showman and a massive fibber.
Kenneth Branaghs embodiment was also delightfully foppish, while also being utterly corrupt.
Sheen would have a riot.
Alternatively:WonkaandBoat StorysPaterson Joseph could also do this one in his sleep, as couldHouses Hugh Laurie.
9co-creator and star can really pull off a grumpy-pants.
Alternatively:The Full MontyandOnce Upon a TimesRobert Carlyle.
Pemberton can be mercurial, and we reckon hed look good in a turban too.
Alternatively: Mark Gatiss obviously.
She can do comedy but you wouldnt wanna mess with her, which is just right for Hooch.
Alternatively:Nina Sosanya also has that friendly but icy quality.
She was brilliant inMr Bates Vs.
The Post Office, inTypist Artist Pirate King, inBlack Mirrors Loch Henry, inW1A, in everything.
Get the woman to clear her diary for season five onwards.
Alternatively: Meera Syal could definitely do it too, but is she too Gryffindor?
Anyway, as we learned duringher stint onTaskmaster, Wokomas RADA training prepared her for anything.
Alternatively:King Garys Laura Checkley, or what aboutDoctor Whos Catherine Tate.
And think about it, after playing The Governor inThe Walking Dead, hes already used to the eye-patch.
Alternatively:Ray Winstone was reportedly the original choice for Moody in the films.
Has the expiration date on that now passed?
If so, what aboutGame of ThronesJerome Flynn?
