As a keen fan of Harry Potter (first the books and then the films) I'd always thought that the Staff Room at Hogwarts contained the cream of British acting talent.
I've now read an article, presumably insured by the imminent release of Fantastic Beasts, giving some substance to my assumptions:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/harry-potter-kept-a-quarter-of-the-u-k-s-top-actors-paid/
Judi Dench is the unofficial mascot of our film club, on the basis that whenever we screen one of her films we get a good audience, so it is interesting to see that she tops the list of successful actors who have not appeared (so far) in any Potter-related films.
I just wish that that result of the US Presidential Election had gone the way of fivethirtyeight's final forecast!
