A group of children are evacuated from the city to a farm during wartime, where they encounter Nanny McPhee, the magic-wielding governess where she is back to her original form.[1]
In 2009, Emma Thompson was to portray Professor Sybill Trelawney in the upcoming Harry Potter Film (Deathly Hollows). The timing for both films coincided with one another and Emma was left to decide which role to pursue. As obviously noted, She preceded in taking the role of Nanny McPhee while the Harry Potter role was left to be re-worked.
