well, i know that this news story is several days old but i haven't had time to comment on it just yet. a little background.. "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban" is probably my favorite of all the harry potter books. it's short and well written (not that the rest of j.k.'s book aren't, but you know.. it's a personal opinion) and covers a good deal of topics that are especially important in the coming novels. it's a time when harry really starts to believe in himself and his abilities and we discover a lot about ourselves and him. it's tough being harry after all.

so it was annouced a few days ago that lovely emma thompson will take the role of professor trelawny in "prisoner of azkaban". now, she wouldn't be my first choice, mainly because i always pictured trelawny to be a skinny, older woman with black greying hair, large glasses that magnify her eyes by ten times, bony and sharp-edged.. but with the right costuming and makeup, she'll pull off the role quite well. as an actress she is an A+ in my book. not to mention that she'll be teaming up with actors and actresses that she has worked with before [namely the wonderful alan rickman.. my favorite of all time!]
