Hogwarts' flaky fortune teller has found a face, according to the Herald Sun, with Emma Thompson scheduled to gaze into her crystal ball in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The quite clearly fraudulent professor Trelawney is tasked with teaching Harry and his friends the finer arts of tea leaf-reading, palmistry and other prescient arts, her pretence occasionally disrupted by the odd genuine vision. A small role to be sure but Emma Thompson does seem an excellent choice to fit the part. Joining Gary Oldman, Julie Christie and the already august Hogwarts faculty, Thompson is certainly in good company among what must be the most impressive Potter line-up yet.
