According to United Agents, a literary and talent agency in the UK, actress Suzanne Toase has been cast in the part of Alecto Carrow for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The website indicates she is currently filming her scenes as one of the Carrows, the brother and sister Death Eaters who take part in the dramatic events at Hogwarts which occur at the end of the book.
On a related note, on this same website, there is a new photo of actress Jessie Cave, who portrays Lavender Brown in “Half-Blood Prince.”
Suzanne Toase will fit my image of Alecto Carrow. It’s a close match to what’s in my head. But now I want to know who has been cast as the brother!! But any good movie news excites me!! = ]
I guess I can see her as Alecto.
Lavender was never actually described in the books. Her role in the film has always been just a background character so far and has had a black girl in the role before. Just like with POA, they had cast a girl for Parvati and when they went to Hogsmead there were a second East Indian girl with her, who was presumably Padma, but I don’t recall her being credited as such. Then they recasted both for GOF. They don’t seem to think things all the way through for casting unless the character is going to have more than a throw away appearence or line. Except for casting all the Gryffindor boys in Harry’s year.
What I don’t get is that Amycus’ dirivative of his name, or ‘amicus’ means friend. Perhaps it was a coinscidence. Another thing I noticed in Jo’s naming is that many of the Harry Potter character’s name derive from the Greek Myths, take for instance Draco’s son, Scorpius Hyperion: both of the names have extreme Greek Mythological meaning.
both look totally awesome for the part, i think jessie is perfect ,i watched summerhill on youtube and watched her performance, shes very good. And she seems like she can play the kinda snobby/ all about looks/ i can have any guy kind of girl :)
Actually she looks a bit like how I imagined Umbridge, only younger, no? Maybe that’s just me. But I can see if she’s made down (as opposed to made up) how she can fit Alecto.
Jessie is so pretty :D I can’t wait to see her as Lavender.
WOw! Jessie is really pretty! She’ll be a good Lavendar, though I hadn’t imagined her as pretty, but then, she is someone who’s quite into her looks, so I guess Jessie’ll be perfect!
Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Harry, and said, [i]"Imperio!"[/i][br]It was the most wonderful feeling. Harry felt a floating sensation as every thought and worry in his head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness.
Jessie’s picture is really pretty!
