Fiona Shaw is perfect 5ever.
[x] Fiona Shaw talking with fans at the Order of the Phoenix premiere.
"When I read it, it shows part of the magic world - but that’s the story isn’t it? It’s about everybody who wants to be in the magic world, but someone has to play the world of reality. The extrodium to the Dursley’s is that they are very funny, because they are very recognizable social aspirers and full of that dogged low-ceiling imagination. Which means they can’t see beyond their material dreams… But of course that is how most people are like."
— Fiona Shaw [on the Dursleys]
Fiona Shaw, Richard Griffiths, and Harry Melling play the Dursleys so brilliantly.
Seriously, they’re brilliant.
Also, Fiona Shaw is just delightful. I was watching the interviews with the cast on the CoS DVD [my sister is becoming obsessed with watching HP - Yay!] and she was talking about how all these children were thinking she was mean. Aww.
