Witches casting

I would go for Kate Winslet for Magrat. I get the impression that Magrat is supposed to be in her thirties. As for the pale, washed out look, they can use make up. Look at Charlize Theron in Monster or Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich.

I think Maggie Smith would be the best for Granny. What about Tina Malone for Nanny Ogg?

Any suggestions for Agnes Nitt?

Don't know if she's been mentionned yet, but I think Miriam Margolyes would make a great Nanny Ogg.

I think the last time we did this I said;

Granny - Eilieen Atkins
Nanny - Dawn French
Magrat - No idea

Now I like Lucy Punch for Magrat and Miriam Margoles good for Nanny.. Helen Mirren is good, but don't know if she has the phisical stature.

Thank you for all the welcomes, what a nice bunch you lot are!

Who said Pam ferris? I like that idea. Also Miriam margoyles, hasn't thought of either of them two and they'd both be great.

Fingers crossed a witches adaptation is tackled soon then eh?

Kate Winslet really too pretty pretty for Magrat (and probably far too voluptuous too ). When we've done this before Jane Horrocks (Bubbles from Ab Fab & Little Voice) or Emma Chambers (Alice in Vicar of Dibley) have been popular choices.

I think Helen Mirren would make a great Granny - she's definitely got a nasty streak and also Granny's flawless skin and perky tootsies Afraid Maggie Smith got too strong an association with HP now so she can't do Granny with as much integrity now (Prof McGonagle's too much a Granny 'type' really - that woman's sooo derivative!)

Happy with Pam Ferris or Miriam Margolyes as Nanny Ogg although again Miriam's the botany teacher at Hogwarts...

Ooo... this is a difficult one!

I think my Granny Weatherwax would have to be Linda Hunt (http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0001373/) as she is phenominal as Hetty in NCIS:LA. She has the correct amount of wit and intelligent about her, but god help anyone who crosses her! My only problem is the obvious one of her height. I always pictured Granny as a rather big and forboding character.

As for Nanny Ogg - thats the one that would clinch it for me - she is my favourite character so it'd have to be perfect. Although I have no idea who i'd have! I like the idea of Pam Ferris, but is she crude enough?

A bit of a random one, but I'd love to see Jennie McAlpine (Fiz from Coronation Street) play Agnes Nitt... I think she'd be perfect!

The reason I thought of Pam Ferris was because of her saucy turn as Ma Larkin in Darling Buds of May.

I like the idea of Jane Horrocks for Magrat!
