Do you think only British actors should be allowed to be in the Harry potter movies? I found this discusion on a website, and I think you might enjoy reading other peoples opinion.
Here is my opinion:
I personally think everyone should be allowed to act in the Harry potter movies. You shouldn't have to be British. One reason I think this, is because some of the characters act/talk... like they are from places other than the U.K.
Such as Dean Thomas, in the early books of Harry Potter. When Dean Thomas and Ron argue over Dean's soccer poster. SOCCER! As far as I know, British people would use the word football, instead of soccer.
Also, I always thought of Cho as Chinesse, Jpeness, Korean...so shouldn't a Korean, Chinesse, or Japannes, be alowed to play her? Then, in the fourth book, the schools are from different plces, or other people besides British should be able to play them. I mean, the charactors are other people.
Besides, many people love Harry Potter, and I'm sure that if any of us were allowed to play a role in the Harry potter movie, we would all do our best. So, why can't we all have a spot, why just British people?
I really enjoy reading JK Rowlings work, and I think she is an excelent author, (I would love to meet her) but, I think the reason other people can't play the HP parts, is because JK Rowling may have something against other people besides British. If you watch the interview on the Harry potter DVD, with her and the screenwriter, you may see what I mean.
Post your opinion under comments.

Posted by: sen on April 27, 2004 11:16 PMI can appreciate that. It's the same sort of caribbean cruise concept as in recording, when a mistake, or an cruise incidental, can sometimes be noticed and played ski vacation up in the mix to great effect. I'll attest to all budget car rental of the above from experience. I can think of another last minute travel particularly helpful exercise, though I wasn't las vegas hotel aware of it at the time: I was, some years back, vacation

I just read a post saying that a Korean girl would be acting Cho Chang in the third movie. I mean come one do you really thing that they would only choose british people for Harry Potter movies???
Maggie:
Although I wish actors from other countries could have roles in the Harry Potter films, as far as I know only British can have the parts. That is as far as I know. It might be different.

Posted by: hannah on December 22, 2003 03:32 PMI think that anyone should be able to play the parts of Harry Potter movie characters. The way I look at it, if someone is good enough to play the part then there is no reason why they cant play the part.
I hate the idea that only brittis actors can play parts... :(
