Raf Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Clever I'm just going by the technical clues. Never heard of Sophie Thompson, but Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter starred together in the Harry Potter series. But they weren't themselves (hence the technically) So Daniel Radcliffe's body and Helena Bonham Carter's body were used to portray the same character. There's a giveaway actress, which means the character is female. Which female impersonated both Harry Potter and Bellatrix Lestrange? Well, EVERYONE impersonated Harry at the beginning of Deathly Hallows I, so that narrows nothing down. But Bellatrix? I know of only one. Hermione Granger. The giveaway would have been Emma Watson.

Bravo! Nicely reasoned. Hermione impersonated 3 characters successfully- Harry Potter, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Mafalda Hopkirk. So the actor/actresses for those roles played Hermione for those scenes-with Emma Watson providing the voice. I grouped them together to suggest the context was the same-which it was. Hermione's also been spoofed lots of times. Mrs Wolf figured it out eventually from seeing the SNL scene of Lindsay Lohan as Hermione (funny script, poorly acted), but might have gotten it from Noma Dumezweni. There was a LOT of kerfluffle over a black actress cast for Hermione for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." Instead of just saying "it's theater, just go with it", JKR actually said that, since Hermione's race was never mentioned, it wasn't a contradiction of any kind. Then there's the other parodies. Crista Flanagan was in "Epic Movie." Miranda Richardson ("Rita Skeeter") was Hermione in "Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azerbaijan". Nigella Lawson (yes, the chef) was in "Louis Potter and the Philosopher's Scone." Of course, there were only 7 Harry Potters in the 7 Potters scene, so if you cared enough, you could have narrowed it down more by dredging your memory. 1 WAS Potter, so that makes 6 fakes. 2 were Weasley twins. 1 was Mundungus Fletcher-who gave himself away. 1 was Ron. 2 were female- Hermione and Fleur Delacour. If I tried to make a round based around guessing Clèmense Poèsy's character, I would be burned in effigy-and deservedly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since everyone's been so sharp lately on this thread, I was hoping for a moment of confusion.
George thought the "Pat" I mentioned was "It's Pat", but that's a different Pat.
Actually, I'm less a fan of THAT Pat as I am of this one (at least a little.)
I'll add more names this evening. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.

Indicates one actor/actress either changed gender and kept acting, or one actor/actress
played both male and female roles, like Robin Williams playing Mrs Doubtfire.
Ok. It's one actor/actress who hasn't changed gender-they played at least 1 role
