Ok... but... something in my head is still being twisted by the idea of *that* Queen Elizabeth being Rita Skeeter. Not that I don't think she'll be great at it, just that the only other two times I've seen her in another role, it's warped my head into re-picturing her in that role.
and one of the main ones is that certain british actors are stereotyped to their most famous role. as with her friend josie lawrence (of who's line is it anyways, the early years), she is a very accomplished and recognized dramatic actress as well as a comedianne. In fact, her secondary roles in later seasons of *that* show alone are far different from the QE1 role.
True... but there's something about her voice that does it... not her squeaky QU one, but something about it that doesn't change brings the other to mind even when she's not using it.
She's one of those who I'd like to see doing something different someday... so HP4 will probably be a good thing :-)
