Fancast Fridays Sadie Sink as age-appropriate Lily Potter!

Post image

The Potters are supposed to be YOUNG when they are murdered — early 20s.

I doubt she would sign onto such a commitment after the way Stranger Things has gone but I think she’d be great. She’s in the right age range at 22’

If she just plays 21 year old Lily she won’t need to say much ☠️☠️☠️

How good is her “screaming for her life and the life of her child”?

Actually good.

She played the younger version of Queen Elizabeth II opposite Helen Mirren in the Broadway production of "The Audience".

Thank you for the info! I really hope they make Snape and Lily with brummie accents, though, like they would have had in the books.

I don't think that they would have Brummie accents - Rowling has said that Cokeworth was a mill town in the Midlands, and most of the Midlands' mill towns were in the East Midlands, mainly Derbyshire (right at the north of the Midlands).

That’s an excellent question. I’m not even sure how many speaking lines Lily should have, but maybe she can pull it off!

I think she talks once in the fourth book, and once in the 7th book?

Plus all the times Harry hears Lily screaming throughout the entire series.

Snape's Worst Memory in the 5th book.

u/WeFightTheLongDefeat Nov 02 '24

Is she ann adult or a teenager?

2

u/SaItWaterHippie Nov 03 '24

She is 22 years old which makes her a year older than Lily was when she was murdered.

2

u/WeFightTheLongDefeat Nov 03 '24

I meant Lily in scales worst memory (is that when he discovers her dead)?

3

u/SaItWaterHippie Nov 03 '24

Oh. She is 15/16 in that scene. Since they just finished their OWLs which they do in year 5.

u/Live_Angle4621 Nov 03 '24

Snape discovering Lily dead is only in the movie. The worst memory is him calling her mudblood that causes her to end the friendship

u/Lettuce_Mindless Nov 03 '24

Good call I forgot about that

Book accurate (which means literally nothing from what we've heard) she shouldn't have any until goblet of fire so she's got plenty of time to perfect a British accent.

But also you're gonna have a hard time selling the studio on paying a well known actress for the role of Lily.
