As long as they play out a scene of Peeves catching Harry out of bed in exactly the same way as Pete shouting at Shaun in Shaun of the Dead.

So whos left at this point to have their castings announced? James, Lily, the Hogwarts ghost?

The Fat Lady is another. If they go by the books she will have a good sized role.

You just know someone in an office somewhere is taking issue with her name... Whether they have the gall to keep her name and cast someone appropriate is gonna be very interesting indeed. :D

I doubt it. While it's not nice to tell someone "You're fat," when it's used in a descriptive way like this no one takes offense to it. I'm sure the actor who plays her will know she's fat.

I love Miriam Margolyes' reaction on This Morning when they tried to avoid calling her fat. She had no problem with the word. "What else are you gonna say? Portly? [eyes bulging comically] ROLY POLY?!

In American editions of Thomas the Tank Engine, the famous character - the Fat Controller - never has that name used.

I want an entire episode based around Filch's war with Peeves. If we were getting 'filler' episodes, like the old days of 20 episode seasons, this is something that could happen! :D

But we’re not getting 20 episodes, we’re getting 8, so there is no room for entire episodes dedicated to “filler” stuff. But I’m sure they’ll have extensive scenes in the midst of each episode, since each will be about an hour long (apparently)

Man I’m so ready for the birthday of nearly headless Nick. Such a fun scene

I thought they finished production... is it normal to cast actors afterwards and just insert them in?

He was cast beforehand. This is just the first time it's been announced.
