Professor Lupin McGregor?

[guretna]

Forgive me if I take anyone by surprise here, but I think unless you
are a Muggle, you must have heard the rumour that Ewan McGregor is
considered for the part of Professor Lupin in the third movie. I
cannot say I'm very happy with this decision, not because Ewan is a
bad actor, but because he's a young actor. I mean Lupin is supposed to
be about the age of James Potter or Snape, so unless you put some
heavy make-up on him (which I find unnatural and as such should be
prevented), you cannot make people believe that he (born 1971) is in
his mid-thirties or early forties. If James has a boy of thirteen then
he must be at least 35 (by general standards) and so should Lupin (and
Snape and Pettigrew).

I do, though, have a rather controversial nomination too for Lupin:
Rowan Atkinson! Some people would perhaps find him too comical to be
Lupin, but as I'm sure he's a great actor, he should be able to change
his air according to the role. What d'ya think?
