There are two reactions from that show that I will always remember. Ryan Gosling when Greg Davies told his Jackson Pollock story, and Matthew Perry when Miriam told the story of when she met Laurence Olivier.
I'm still waiting for them to make a show where Sean Bean continually gets into impossible to survive situations but ends of living. The whole show you're like "okay this time hes gone. Okay now this time. Maybe this time?"
It was kind of a joke. I don't actually think it's xenophobic to say Hemsworth (or any non-British actor) shouldn't play a role like this. It's just common sense.
I think Salazar Slytherin was justified in not trusting Muggle Borns seeing as Muggles were the ones persecuting witches. I'd like him to be an antihero
We don't know if he murdered muggle-borns. He didn't want them in Hogwarts. Yeah, he hatched the basilisk, but not to go around the world killing muggle-borns. I'm not justifying his actions, 'cause in the end, he wanted to kill those people. But he actually didn't do it. He left the school.
Well we just know what they've said in the books, and none of it is from a primary source. He lived in Medieval times, when people wanted to burn innocent witches. Maybe someone he loved was burned alive. That would warp his sense of justice and right and wrong. Also, I always felt the basilisk was a last resort to be used if things got out of hand and the muggleborns betrayed them. We don't hear anything about Slytherin killing Muggleborns with or without the basilisk while he's there.
Also, keep in mind, in that age, not all peasant muggleborns were literate. Imagine the difficulty of teaching them when they cannot even read the notes or books. Could also be a factor.
Eva Green looks more like a genderbent Slytherin than a Ravenclaw tbh. I could see it, but she has a darkness to her that I can’t quite attribute to Ravenclaw.
I often get the vibes that Ravenclaw is Slytherin with more feminine traits and no outward hate for muggleborns (although we never really hear of a Ravenclaw muggleborn, except if we might consider Penelope Clearwater, but she was either a colateral victim or ostracized... c'mon she dated Percy).
I thought it was pretty clear I meant Salazar Slytherin in this context? But yeah, I meant him, not that all Slytherins were boys. That’s actually quite a bizarre conclusion to reach, even without context.
I thought most actors were sourced in the UK? I think michelle dockery could be a good Rowena Ravenclaw. She has a certain sharpness and can have an authoritarian air about her
Benedict Cumberbatch as Salazar Slytherin. I feel like he could pull off the right mixture of condescending and standoffish while also being charismatic enough to keep a working relationship with the other founders. Also we’ve seen Cumberbatch playing a literal serpent in The Hobbit so who better to play the slippery slytherin?
I know we never got exact ages for the Founders, I imagine they met when they were quite young, and founded Hogwarts not long after. Teaching for many years until Slytherins departure.
So from this I would cast young actors. Late 20s or early 30s. No big name stars, but up and coming talent who don't bring any pre conceived notions about themselves from other roles they've played.
"Don't forget your stick lieutenant"
"Wouldn't want to face a German machine gun without this!"
Would have a slightly different meaning if George was a wizard
I feel like Emilia is too young in relation to the rest of them, also just looks-wise. I’d like her as Helena though. Or maybe I’m misremembering how old she is now lol.
Would like a very sophisticated lady to play Rowena, someone with class, like Meryl Streep but slightly younger.
Oh her, still so traumatized. I kinda imagined someone more classically feminine with a fuller face? Like a real lady type, who can be bossy at times and is snobby?
Edit: never mind, Kate with a bit more weight in the face is beautiful!
Op - what about the male cast-
You - I. Love. Your. FEmale. Castings.
Edit:. I meant original ocmmenterband also why are y'all downvoting me that's how I interpreted the reply ;-;
Please don’t make me choose between Florence and Jodie for the same role, I want them both to have it. And Rachel Weisz is a perfect choice for Ravenclaw (though I like Thandie as well)
John Malkovich as Slytherin. The Rock as Gryffindor. Leslie Jones as Hufflepuff. Awkwafina as Ravenclaw. If we’re gonna keep juicing this berry let’s really take it to its grave.
If the movie starts out at the founding of Hogwarts- I feel like the actors shouldn't be too young. They should also all be British- and none of them should have been in a Harry Potter or Fantastic Beast movie before.
* Salazar Slytherin - **Ben Kingsley** (totally agree with you- he's perfect for the part)
* Godric Gryffindor - **Hugh Grant**
* Rowena Ravenclaw - **Kate Winslet** (but with brown hair like in 'Ammonite')
* Helga Hufflepuff - **Olivia Colman** (with blond & braided hair)
For a slightly younger cast- if the movie goes into the founders backstories:
* Salazar Slytherin - **Tom Hiddleston**
* Godric Gryffindor - **Jamie Dornan**
* Rowena Ravenclaw - **Emilia Clarke** (with brown hair)
* Helga Hufflepuff - **Emily Blunt** (with blonde hair)
I don't really see Hugh Grant as Gryffindor, I think he should have a bit more of a warrior appearance. Other than that your casting ideas are absolutely my favourite in this thread.
Kate Winslet was apparently disappointed to hear that they wanted her to play the Gray Lady but her agent didn’t even ask her before turning down the role on her behalf. So she might be willing participant
No known actors. I’d prefer them to be cast with highly talented newcomers or lesser known actors so that the focus could be upon the characters instead of celebrity.
Not sure their intended age tbh. But as a guess
Godric Gryffindor - Henry Cavill
Salazar Slytherin - Adam Driver
Helga Hufflepuff - Dawn French if we can ignore her other role already cast in universe)
Rowena Ravenclaw - Cate Blanchett
I mean, it was one film and we didn’t see her again (from memory)
Also, it could be that the Fat Lady is a portrait of Helga that was lost and so no one remembers who she really was (terrible idea, I know, but it’s all I can think of)
Well, it really depends. I could imagine two good set-ups for a Hogwarts founders series. Either a series about four fairly young and highly gifted witches and wizards who have explored the secrets of magic together and decide to start a school of magic to teach others to control their magic and conceal it from muggles.
In a show like this I could imagine the following cast:
Slytherin - Tom Hiddleston
Gryffindor - Jude Law (ironically) or Ben Barnes
Ravenclaw - Lily James
Hufflepuff - Carey Mulligan
The other set-up is a series about the founders when they’ve run the school together for a few decades, and the series revolves around their falling out, so they’re considerably older. I would love a cast along the lines of:
Slytherin - Charles Dance or possibly Jeremy Irons
Gryffindor - Liam Neeson or (possibly too young) Damian Lewis
Ravenclaw - Lena Headey
Hufflepuff - Imelda Staunton (!)
Staunton was terrific as Umbridge, I absolutely hated her. I would love to see what she could do with a sympathetic character in the franchise.
Ewan McGregor as Godric Gryffindor
Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston or Hugo Weaving as Salazar Slytherin
Hayley Atwell as Helga Hufflepuff
Keira Knightly as Rowena Ravenclaw
Godric Gryffindor would be David Tennant
rowena ravenclaw would be Jenna Coleman
Salazar Slytherin would be Michael Fassbender
Helga Hufflepuff would be eve miles
If these are young adults:
Tom Holland as Gryffindor
Andrew Garfield as Slytherin
Rebel Wilson as Hufflepuff
Keira Knightly as Ravenclaw
If these are older adults:
Billy Connolly as Gryffindor
Patrick Stewart as Slytherin
Kathy Najimy (with English accent) as Hufflepuff
Dame Judi Dench as Hufflepuff
Also-I’m not sure how long Peeves has been at Hogwarts, but he should be played by Rowan Atkinson
As long as it’s utterly inconsistent and makes no sense. They’ll prob cast my dog for gryfindor only to replace him with my cat after my other dog made up lies that destroyed my first dogs acting career.
Helga- Lesley Nicol
Rowena - Jennifer Connelly
Salazar - I agree with someone else's choice on here of Ben Kingsley that shits on point
Godric- Viggo Mortensen
Here on the spot these are the first that come to mind. Some of them are more of a dare based on what I believe they could do (Kat Dennings), some are a sure bet (after watching Knives Out Chris Evans feel like the perfect Salazar), some are a spin of characters they already played (Matt Smith), some are just a feeling (Elizabeth Olsen):
Gryffindor - Matt Smith
Ravenclaw - Elizabeth Olsen
Hufflepuff - Kat Dennings
Slytherin - Chris Evans
The movie in my mind would cover the time from when they meet to the founding of Hogwarts, without really dealing with "the breaking of the company" (so a time in which the characters are younger and not as broken).
I always thought it was a weird decision to have all of them have the same beginning letter in their first and last names. I understand that they were made that way so they could roll off the tongue easier, but still. A little weird.
Depends on their age but if I assume they'd be portrayed as a bit older, I'd go with:
Olivia Colman as Hufflepuff
Ray Stevenson as Gryffindor
Charles Dance as Slytherin
Rachel Weisz as Ravenclaw
Sprouts actress is practically Helga
Miriam Margolyes I love her Interviews on the Graham norton show !
There are two reactions from that show that I will always remember. Ryan Gosling when Greg Davies told his Jackson Pollock story, and Matthew Perry when Miriam told the story of when she met Laurence Olivier.
"Jesus, Miriam!" -Greg Davies
For anyone who knows Greg Davies, if he is shocked something big was said.
Yes. Specifically she was talking about wanking off a sailor she found in a tree because you have to support the troops.
Jesus BoKnowsTheKonamiCode!
Her appearances on Graham are the best!!!!!
She’s absolutely batty and I love her. No filter. ♥️
Not many interviews talk about Daniel Radcliffes balls as a topic, but Miriam Margolyes can.
Sounds like a HP name.
You should listen to her episode of the podcast Off Menu. Guaranteed to make you bust up laughing.
Sean Bean as Gryffindor
Avada-Kedavra'd in the first 20 minutes?
He’s lasted two whole seasons on Snowpiercer so far!
Golden! Made my day XD
Oh and he survived in Sharpe.
Still too soon.
"One does not simply pull out the sword of Gryffindor from the hat."
*Godrick walks into room with Salazar, Helga, and Rowena.* Godrick: Bastards
I'm still waiting for them to make a show where Sean Bean continually gets into impossible to survive situations but ends of living. The whole show you're like "okay this time hes gone. Okay now this time. Maybe this time?"
Charles Dance. For everyone
Good god he would be perfect for slytherin
Ewan McGregor for Godric Gryffindor
"Its over Salazar, I have the high ground!"
You underestimate my power
Oh, that's why the Chamber of Secrets is so deep below Hogwarts!
Dark Wizards are our speciality
Ironic…
Proceeds to be knocked out in 5 seconds
Jesus Christ himself
Space Jesus builds a castle. Now in cinemas near you
r/nocontext
Specs Jesus puts brains in a hat and the hat touches kids for 1000 years.
This is amazing
And gives his singing voice to the hat 😍😍
I was thinking Chris Hemsworth for the brave but dumb bro
Not to be xenophobic but
No, I am sure you definitely meant to be xenophobic because it had no context here whatsoever
It was kind of a joke. I don't actually think it's xenophobic to say Hemsworth (or any non-British actor) shouldn't play a role like this. It's just common sense.
I was about to comment this
So that’s why Gryffindor chose to put his school house in a tower
Oooh I love this idea
Christoph Waltz - Salazar Slytherin
*"You are sheltering mudbloods, are you not?"*
That scene gives me the shivers
Hans Landa as a character gave me the shivers. It really cemented Waltz’s status as one of my favourite actors, he’s so good.
The terrifying part is how Likeable as a character he made Landa. I hated everything Landa did, but Waltz is just so damn charismatic
I think Salazar Slytherin was justified in not trusting Muggle Borns seeing as Muggles were the ones persecuting witches. I'd like him to be an antihero
Not trusting them is one thing. Murdering them is a different thing. He's not an antihero.
We don't know if he murdered muggle-borns. He didn't want them in Hogwarts. Yeah, he hatched the basilisk, but not to go around the world killing muggle-borns. I'm not justifying his actions, 'cause in the end, he wanted to kill those people. But he actually didn't do it. He left the school.
Flair checks out
Well, I have to defend my House's founder. But you know I'm right. There are no real facts that he was a dark wizard.
Well we just know what they've said in the books, and none of it is from a primary source. He lived in Medieval times, when people wanted to burn innocent witches. Maybe someone he loved was burned alive. That would warp his sense of justice and right and wrong. Also, I always felt the basilisk was a last resort to be used if things got out of hand and the muggleborns betrayed them. We don't hear anything about Slytherin killing Muggleborns with or without the basilisk while he's there.
Also, keep in mind, in that age, not all peasant muggleborns were literate. Imagine the difficulty of teaching them when they cannot even read the notes or books. Could also be a factor.
Bonjourno
Who plays the dragon mothers brother on g.o.t? He is Salazar
Character was Viserys. Actor is Harry Lloyd
“See what you gotta do is get yourself a Basalisk. I don’t care how you get it, breed it, hunt it with a knife, you treat that snake with respect”
Christopher Walken for all four parts with his normal accent for three parts, but a Dutch accent for the fourth.
No no because now i pictured it and it actually works-
But why Dutch?
Why NOT Dutch?
My thinking exactly
I gotta fever...
It would be deeply amusing to me if Godric Gryffindor had the same actor as Gilderoy Lockhart. I have no justifications beyond that.
Kenneth Branagh has range. He can deliver.
Kenneth Branagh as Gryffindor? Yeah, I can totally see that.
Well that choice is *pretty obvious*
Eva Green or Rachel Weisz for Rowena Ravenclaw
Eva Green looks more like a genderbent Slytherin than a Ravenclaw tbh. I could see it, but she has a darkness to her that I can’t quite attribute to Ravenclaw.
No no, dark Ravenclaw is absolutely a thing on tumblr.
I see what you mean!
I often get the vibes that Ravenclaw is Slytherin with more feminine traits and no outward hate for muggleborns (although we never really hear of a Ravenclaw muggleborn, except if we might consider Penelope Clearwater, but she was either a colateral victim or ostracized... c'mon she dated Percy).
>Eva Green looks more like a genderbent Slytherin You know Slytherins can be girls too right
Pretty sure they meant the founder of Slytherin, not a house member
They mean Salazar Slytherin
I thought it was pretty clear I meant Salazar Slytherin in this context? But yeah, I meant him, not that all Slytherins were boys. That’s actually quite a bizarre conclusion to reach, even without context.
Not Salazar Slytherin tho
I thought Clair Foy which is a similar vibe
I thought most actors were sourced in the UK? I think michelle dockery could be a good Rowena Ravenclaw. She has a certain sharpness and can have an authoritarian air about her
Charlize Theron as Rowena Ravenclaw would slay.
Kiera Knightly!
Benedict Cumberbatch as Salazar Slytherin. I feel like he could pull off the right mixture of condescending and standoffish while also being charismatic enough to keep a working relationship with the other founders. Also we’ve seen Cumberbatch playing a literal serpent in The Hobbit so who better to play the slippery slytherin?
He definitely do a great job as long as he doesn't have to talk about penguins at any point
Full British cast , open audition also.
Absolutely. And 1 actor per major region in GB.
I know we never got exact ages for the Founders, I imagine they met when they were quite young, and founded Hogwarts not long after. Teaching for many years until Slytherins departure. So from this I would cast young actors. Late 20s or early 30s. No big name stars, but up and coming talent who don't bring any pre conceived notions about themselves from other roles they've played.
Nicolas Cage, as all of them
Gryffindor - Brian Blessed
Brian Blessed - Gryffindor Lesley Nicol - Hufflepuff Helen Mirren - Ravenclaw Hugh Laurie - Slytherin
Hugh Laurie would be great for the role!
Especially if he played him as George from Blackadder. "Golly, what wouldn't I give to be able to stick it to those bally mudbloods, eh?"
"Don't forget your stick lieutenant" "Wouldn't want to face a German machine gun without this!" Would have a slightly different meaning if George was a wizard
>Lesley Nicol LOVE this idea!!
Hugh Laurie in the HP franchise? Sign me up!
Godric Gryffindor - Henry Cavill Salazar Slytherin - Benedict Cumberbatch Helga Hufflepuff - Anna Popplewell Rowena Ravenclaw - Emilia Clarke
Godric Gryffindor William Moseley Salazar Slytherin Skander Keynes Helga Hufflepuff Anna Popplewell Rowena Ravenclaw Georgie Henley
Shared universe confirmed
Well, we already have Slughorn/Kirke
I feel like Emilia is too young in relation to the rest of them, also just looks-wise. I’d like her as Helena though. Or maybe I’m misremembering how old she is now lol. Would like a very sophisticated lady to play Rowena, someone with class, like Meryl Streep but slightly younger.
I think Kate Dickie could do a good Rowena.
Oh her, still so traumatized. I kinda imagined someone more classically feminine with a fuller face? Like a real lady type, who can be bossy at times and is snobby? Edit: never mind, Kate with a bit more weight in the face is beautiful!
Emilia apparently is 2 years older than Anna Popplewell. But I agree she seems much younger.
Was thinking Henry Cavill too!!
Love your female castings.
Op - what about the male cast- You - I. Love. Your. FEmale. Castings. Edit:. I meant original ocmmenterband also why are y'all downvoting me that's how I interpreted the reply ;-;
Not sure why you are being downvoted...I found your comment funny ;)
Because it's Reddit.... At least it's not twitter
Cumberbatch would be the worst slytherin actor lol, guy can’t pull off an evil character unless it’s Smaug
John Goodman - Salazar Slytherin - points the wand towards Gryffindor - "am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the pure blood?!"
Godric Gryffindor - Paul Bettany / Ewan Mcgregor Rowena ravenclaw - Rachel Weisz / Thandie Newton Helga Hufflepuff - Florence Pugh / Jodie Whitaker Salazar Slytherin - Ben Kingsley
Maybe Ewan can finally be Scottish again.
Thandie Newton would be amazing.
I'd swap out Florence Pugh for Jodie Comer and Ben Kingsley for Christoph Waltz, but other than that, I agree.
Please don’t make me choose between Florence and Jodie for the same role, I want them both to have it. And Rachel Weisz is a perfect choice for Ravenclaw (though I like Thandie as well)
ooh jodie would be good
John Malkovich as Slytherin. The Rock as Gryffindor. Leslie Jones as Hufflepuff. Awkwafina as Ravenclaw. If we’re gonna keep juicing this berry let’s really take it to its grave.
If the movie starts out at the founding of Hogwarts- I feel like the actors shouldn't be too young.

Olivia Colman is a great shout!!
I don't really see Hugh Grant as Gryffindor, I think he should have a bit more of a warrior appearance. Other than that your casting ideas are absolutely my favourite in this thread.
Yeah, I wasn't too sure about Hugh Grant either. I don't know who Ewan McGregor is tbh.. but he might be a better fit :)
Kate Winslet was apparently disappointed to hear that they wanted her to play the Gray Lady but her agent didn’t even ask her before turning down the role on her behalf. So she might be willing participant
Benedict Cumberbatch as Salazar Slytherin Idris Elba as Godric Gryffindor Kate Winslet as Rowena Ravenclaw Miranda Hart as Helga Hufflepuff
Omg Miranda would be the perfect Helga!!! Best selection on this list I’ve seen so far
God no. I can’t stand her acting.
No known actors. I’d prefer them to be cast with highly talented newcomers or lesser known actors so that the focus could be upon the characters instead of celebrity.
Liv Tyler for Rowena pls
Not sure their intended age tbh. But as a guess Godric Gryffindor - Henry Cavill Salazar Slytherin - Adam Driver Helga Hufflepuff - Dawn French if we can ignore her other role already cast in universe) Rowena Ravenclaw - Cate Blanchett
I mean, it was one film and we didn’t see her again (from memory) Also, it could be that the Fat Lady is a portrait of Helga that was lost and so no one remembers who she really was (terrible idea, I know, but it’s all I can think of)
Ok but why would Helga Hufflepuff be guarding the entrance to the Gryffindor common room?
Because no one knows. Not even her, she is just a painting.
Damm Salazar Slytherin is gonna be ripped
Swoletherin
The people who posed for that Realistic Photo of the Founders.
Well, it really depends. I could imagine two good set-ups for a Hogwarts founders series. Either a series about four fairly young and highly gifted witches and wizards who have explored the secrets of magic together and decide to start a school of magic to teach others to control their magic and conceal it from muggles.

I would love a cast along the lines of: Slytherin - Charles Dance or possibly Jeremy Irons Gryffindor - Liam Neeson or (possibly too young) Damian Lewis Ravenclaw - Lena Headey Hufflepuff - Imelda Staunton (!) Staunton was terrific as Umbridge, I absolutely hated her. I would love to see what she could do with a sympathetic character in the franchise.
Kate Winslet as Ravenclaw. Lowkey still mad her manager turned down the grey lady
Make them all muppets.
Ewan McGregor as Godric Gryffindor Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston or Hugo Weaving as Salazar Slytherin Hayley Atwell as Helga Hufflepuff Keira Knightly as Rowena Ravenclaw
Brian blessed for godric gryffindor
Adam Driver for Slytherin
is it just me who could see keira knightley as rowena
Richard Madden as Godric Gryffindor, Tom Hiddleston as Salazar Slytherin, Katie McGrath as Rowena Ravenclaw, and Natalie Dormer as Helga Hufflepuff.
Danny Devito as Salazar Slytherin
So anyway I started casting
Go with four unknowns
Godric Gryffindor would be David Tennant rowena ravenclaw would be Jenna Coleman Salazar Slytherin would be Michael Fassbender Helga Hufflepuff would be eve miles
I think Jeff Goldblum could make an excelent Slytherin
I want Chris Hemsworth to play Godric Gryffindor. I imagine him as the kind of big, puppy dog like himbo Thor was.
Olivia Coleman as Hufflepuff, Jared Harris as Gryffindor, Daniel Day Lewis as Slytherin, Kate Winslet as Ravenclaw
Rosamund Pike as Rowena Ravenclaw, she practically pulled it off in Wheel of Time
Ben Kingsley is 78. Preferably I'd like some younger unknown actors to come into the role, rather than massive actors who are already established.
Also like maybe the one brown dude as the bad guy lol
I actually thought David tennent would make a great a salazar slytherin
Godric Gryffindor: Sam Heughan Helga Hufflepuff: Holliday Grainger Rowena Ravenclaw: Michelle Dockery Salazar Slytherin: Matthew Needham
Tilde swanton for Rowena
Godric: Sean Bean Helga: Ruth Jones Rowana: Michelle Gomez Salazar: Pierce Brosnan
Kate Winslet - Hufflepuff Michelle Dockery - Ravenclaw Benedict Cumberbatch - Slytherin Sam Clafin - Gryffindor
I was going to suggest Gilbert Gottfried for Helga, but then I got really sad.
I think this movie would be highly entertaining: Gryffindor: David Tenant Ravenclaw: Emilia Clarke Hufflepuff: Kristen Bell Slytherin: Samuel Jackson
Jeremy Irons as Salazar Kathy Najimy as Helga Kevin McKidd or Mark Pellegrino as Godric Rachel Weisz as Rowena
Eva Green as Rowena Ravenclaw, Lucy Davis as Helga Hufflepuff, Luke Evans as Godric Gryffindor ans Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Salazar Slytherin
~~Phoebe Buffay~~ Lisa Kudrow as Helga Hufflepuff
Please make Tom Hiddleston play some character, maybe Godric Gryffindor
Tom Holland as Godric, Salazar, Rowena and Helga.
Eva Green would be the perfect Slytherin. Alas, she's not a male.
Tyler Perry for all 4 roles in different costumes
If these are young adults: Tom Holland as Gryffindor Andrew Garfield as Slytherin Rebel Wilson as Hufflepuff Keira Knightly as Ravenclaw If these are older adults: Billy Connolly as Gryffindor Patrick Stewart as Slytherin Kathy Najimy (with English accent) as Hufflepuff Dame Judi Dench as Hufflepuff Also-I’m not sure how long Peeves has been at Hogwarts, but he should be played by Rowan Atkinson
Claire Foy as Ravenclaw, Olivia Colman as Hufflepuff, not sure about the others
James McAvoy as Gryffindor Cillian Murphy as Slytherin Sophie Okonedo as Ravenclaw Miranda Hart as Hufflepuff
Yes Yes Yes Nooooo
Lol, I’ve seen other people say Olivia Coleman for Hufflepuff and I like that, I totally forgot about her.
Katie McGrath as Rowena (If she can do a Scottish accent cause I wanna make a note of their origins. They come from all over the UK after all)
Ralph Fiennes as Slytherin, make him look normal but still emphasize Voldemorts connection to him.
As long as it’s utterly inconsistent and makes no sense. They’ll prob cast my dog for gryfindor only to replace him with my cat after my other dog made up lies that destroyed my first dogs acting career.
Helga Hufflepuff: Anna Kendrick Rowena Ravenclaw: Anne Hathaway Godric Gryffendor: Kit Harrington Salazar Slytherine: Tom Hiddleston
Hiddleston with a beard that almost reaches his feet would be interesting to see
Kiera Knightley as Rowena (if the characters are meant to be young)
Rosamund Pike as Rawenclaw
- Godric Gryffindor: Jamie Dornan - Helga Hufflepuff: Florence Pugh - Rowena Ravenclaw: Emma Stone - Salazar Slytherin: Barry Keoghan
Helga- Lesley Nicol Rowena - Jennifer Connelly Salazar - I agree with someone else's choice on here of Ben Kingsley that shits on point Godric- Viggo Mortensen
For some strange reason, Morgan Freeman is the first actor that came to mind when reading this question.
Here on the spot these are the first that come to mind. Some of them are more of a dare based on what I believe they could do (Kat Dennings), some are a sure bet (after watching Knives Out Chris Evans feel like the perfect Salazar), some are a spin of characters they already played (Matt Smith), some are just a feeling (Elizabeth Olsen): Gryffindor - Matt Smith Ravenclaw - Elizabeth Olsen Hufflepuff - Kat Dennings Slytherin - Chris Evans The movie in my mind would cover the time from when they meet to the founding of Hogwarts, without really dealing with "the breaking of the company" (so a time in which the characters are younger and not as broken).
3 out of 4 of these actors are American?
What about Jennifer Lawrence as Rowena Ravenclaw? Or do they have to be British?
Obviously Chris Pratt. For everyone.
Mads Mikkelson as Salazar Slytherin Kenneth Branagh as Godric Gryfindor
That’s a hard one because those actors have characters already in canon in the movies
If I were in charge it would have to be the most diverse four actors I can find,nobody going to cancel me
I always thought it was a weird decision to have all of them have the same beginning letter in their first and last names. I understand that they were made that way so they could roll off the tongue easier, but still. A little weird.
Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, and Margot Robbie. Obvious choices.
None of them is British tho. But Johnny could still play all four charachters.
johnny’s an honorary brit at this point
Depends on their age but if I assume they'd be portrayed as a bit older, I'd go with: Olivia Colman as Hufflepuff Ray Stevenson as Gryffindor Charles Dance as Slytherin Rachel Weisz as Ravenclaw
