Well, *I* am excited about it, and hope feverishly that it comes to pass.
He's a wonderful actor who can truly pull a chameleon and *be* his
character, if he has a good enough script to work with.  The age difference
isn't going to be that big of a deal. He will be around 32 when the filming
for PoA is likely to begin, and it's really not that hard to age someone 5
years or so. As far as the visual age difference between Lupin and Snape
were Ewan McGregor to get the role, I don't really see that as a big deal
either. Lots of people look much older than they are...and oddly enough I
find this especially true amongst unpleasant people. I guess they frown too
much.

So yes, I'm rooting hard for Ewan!
