LA Times Blog quote on Slughorn....
If memory serves, some of our members had expressed the opinion that someone like Bob Hoskins would have been best suited to play the role of Slughorn in HBP.
When reading the recent blog from the LA Times Hero Complex Blog on Harry Potter & HBP, I noticed that the costume designer for the HP films agreed with them.
Here's the quote:
When it comes to outfitting the wizards of Hogwarts – and muggles alike -- costume designer Jany Temime, who has been dressing the cast since “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” ran into her first real challenge when Jim Broadbent was cast as Professor Horace Slughorn in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." (Physically, even we pictured something more along the lines of a Bob Hoskins filling the role.)
