Are you being serious? Zac Effron is NOT Will.

BTW, I thought that the one with the snake dæmon in the film might have been Lord Boreal, but I also am open to the possibility that this is wrong..

He managed the second one a bit too much...

1. Her name.
2. The fact that she has been a nun.
She may not be Irish by birth, but very likely her parents were Irish; and it is much more common for Irish girls to enter a convent then it is for English girls.
Re Lord Boreal. I guessed from the short glimpse of the character with the snake dæmon that he might be intended to fill the role of Lord Boreal. The actor (Edward de Souza, is it?) looks the part to me. He is one of those actors whose name is not very well-known, but has a long CV of solid supporting roles. I recognised him at once , but couldn't put a name to him. He'd do for me, although I'd agree Brian Cox would be a good pick if we were starting from scratch.
You have to remember that a film is supposed to stand alone... apart from the book. It can't just assume the audience knows everything already, even thought half of them do anyway. A film needs to make coherent sense... and I disagree with you. First, the zeppelin scene had some of the greatest dialogue in the whole movie. I don't know why you hate it. Second, I think that the film needed more explination, and was one of the movie's downfall, (due largly in part to the last minute editing of the second half). It needed to be 2 and half hours, and it would have been a better movie for both the book readers and the non.

How can being a nun instantly make you irish?
So she might have had irish ancestry, and she might have LIVED in ireland for a while, but i failed to see, at any point in the books, any trace of an irish ancestry, nationality, or any TRACE of Ireland at all.
