Julie Andrews is an angel, although she can certainly turn the air blue when she wants to. Have you seen any episodes from The Julie Andrews Hour? My favorite is this one with Harry Belafonte:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1IiMg5RzeMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581509646636552299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825694783801781047.post-85234171366094142342012-07-29T20:28:22.869-07:002012-07-29T20:28:22.869-07:00I approve of Christopher Lee as Snape.I approve of Christopher Lee as Snape.MovieNut14https://www.blogger.com/profile/17250239873504510289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825694783801781047.post-52494939112360385622012-07-29T19:25:04.006-07:002012-07-29T19:25:04.006-07:00When you signed up for Harry Potter, I was definit...When you signed up for Harry Potter, I was definitely wondering how you were going to do it because of all the child actors. But I can definitely see a lot of this working! I love the casting of Ron and Judy... could see that happening easily, even if a time warp would be needed ;). (I'm imagining them in the classic Gryffindor robes and nodding). Of course, I'm not a fan at all of Mickey-the-troll-Rooney, but the rest of your cast was pretty fantastic I thought! (Going through a huge Julie Andrews phase right now so I really approve of her as Mrs. Potter. Perfect for the sweetheart role, though, of course there is a more adult side to Julie for sure but we all remember her for her sugary side.)

I say "nearly" because I don't know some of the child actors. But Hepburn, Lee, Olivier, Cooper, Wayne, Russell, Hamilton, Fields and Main... they even look like their characters, it's amazing! And Karloff would make an epic Voldemort.<br /><br />I can totally see the sweet Julie Andrews as Lily, and Cary Grant as the irreverent but loving James Potter... I could watch an entire movie about their generation, with Sirius and Lupin... dreamy. <br /><br />haha just imagining Hermione break into a song in the middle of potions class...
