It seems like an inevitable piece of PoA casting, especially after the airing of her recent parody "Harry Potter and the Chamberpot of Azerbaijan" in aid of Comic Relief. It was announced this afternoon that Dawn French is to play the part of The Fat lady, a talking painting which guards the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
Julie Christie has been cast as Madam Rosmerta, the barmaid at the Three Broomsticks. Professor Trelawney is still to be cast.
