Interesting and inevitable. Chris Columbus was the genius who started
the tradition of casting some of the greatest British actors of our
time in supporting roles. This left him the time to work with the
talented but inexperienced children who are the stars of the movies.
My favorite scene in Goblet of Fire is Maggie Smith playing Professor
McGonagall, imitating Maggie Smith playing her Academy Award winning
roll of Jean Brody. It is great!
