#9: Naomi Watts as Narcissa Malfoy
After Helen McCrory had been cast for the role of Narcissa Malfoy, it was revealed that the producers originally considered casting Naomi Watts for the part. Known for memorable performances in movies such as King Kong and The Ring, there is no doubt that Watts would bring a new royal style to the character. In the end, however, it was McCrory’s performance that balanced between grace, aloofness, and motherly love.
