Here is a bit of good news now to brighten up the day: the part of Mrs. Granger (the mother of Hermione) has been cast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Coleraine Times reports that Michelle Fairley has been cast “to play the part of Mrs Granger, a Muggle dentist and the mother of
Hermione Granger, one of Harry’s two best friends, played by Emma
Watson.” Michelle Fairley says of the part: “It’s not a very large part, maybe three or four scenes which will take
just a few days filming. But it’s very nice indeed for me.” Editor’s Note: Readers will recall that in Deathly Hallows, Hermione, in order to save her parents from the Death Eaters, modified the memories of her parents, gave them new names, and sent them off to Australia.

The actress, who is currently doing stage work in England, goes on to describe some early hurdles she had to overcome to get the part. Quotage: “They wanted to do shooting for the film on the press day for the play
I’m in at the Old Vic which meant me being in the theatre all day. So,
initially I couldn’t do it.
“So it looked as if the part was gone
until the director came back and said that he wanted me for the part.
They have now arranged new dates for the shooting which will take a
couple of days.

“I’m delighted as I’ve a lot of friends and family and their children who all love Harry Potter, so it’s lovely to be involved.
“I’ve
never seen any of the Harry Potter movies or read any of the books,”
admitted Michelle, who now plans to watch the films and read the books
in preparation for her part.

Filming is underway on both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with Part One due November of 2010, and Part Two due July, 2011.
