The Harry Potter series is no stranger to the Academy Awards, being nominated 9 times for technical awards such as Art Direction, Visual Effects, and Score.  The series has seen more nominations and awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), the British equivalent of the Oscars.  If things go their way, this will be the first time a Harry Potter film has received Oscar nominations for acting and directing, though some critics felt Imelda Staunton deserved a nomination for her portrayal of Dolores Umbridge in "Order of the Phoenix".  An early favorite amongst fans for a nomination is Alan Rickman as Severus Snape.
