Recasting The Harry Potter Movies If They Came Out Today
11. Mr And Mrs Weasley – Simon Pegg And Jessica Hynes
The dynamic between Mr and Mrs Weasley is a joy to experience in both Rowling’s original stories and the subsequent movie adaptations. Recapturing the chemistry between Mark Williams and Julie Walters is no easy task, yet there is one duo who might be able to pull it off.
Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes are the two minds behind the British sitcom Spaced. As well as writing each episode, the pair of them also starred in the show, and their comedic chemistry would be ideal for the amusing interactions between Mr and Mrs Weasley. And whilst both Pegg and Hynes are great comedic actors, they've also starred in a number of more serious projects as well.
Of course, the pair of them would need a lot of hair dye as they don't naturally possess the iconic red hair of the Weasley family. But aside from that, they would be more than capable of bringing new life to this great magical couple.
