Harry Potter New TV Show: 25 Castings That Must Happen

19. Anya Taylor-Joy As Tonks

Aside from Ginny Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks was probably the character let down most by the films. Natalie Tena was well-cast, but the films did absolutely nothing with the character and only hinted at her interesting book storylines occasionally, without actually bothering to explore them.

Anyhow, Anya Taylor-Joy would be a fine pick to play Tonks in the show. A versatile and mercurial actress, Taylor-Joy would be able to bring out the character's laid-back charm and inner turmoil, and in general, she just really looks the part too.

Taylor-Joy really is a smashing actress, and both Tonks and the show would be blessed to have her onboard.
