Casting Couch, err, Call!

[livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis was wondering about future-casting for the HP roles, I guess because she kept thinking Jailbait! and freaking herself out, but me, I've had these kids cast as twenty-something for ages (with much debate and assistance from [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon and [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma) because these things are important to my mental health:

Notes: I haven't cast Hermione because she annoys me so badly I just prefer to kill her instead. I'd also like to cast Jamie Bell and Cillian Murphy somewhere, but I haven't sorted out where just yet. Also, I need a Dean. Also, am I missing anybody? I don't remember now. My brain has OD'd on the pretty.

Notes #2: OMG, LJ is possessed. Somebody call an exorcist!

Blaise Zabini: Henry Cavill
That's assuming it's a guy. :-)

Also, Cate Blanchett as Narcissa? Though she looks cold and distant, she doesn't look anywhere near arrogant enough. :-)

It is a guy. She said so in an interview a few weeks back.

Ah, OK. I'm usually fairly obsessive with LJ, but I haven't been for the past weeks. Thanks for pointing that out. Well, some countries are going to get into trouble, 'cause they translated it to a girl's name in some countries. Oh, well.
