HP article in my local paper

Hi everyone,
There was an article in my local paper today about the HP movie -
apparently the relatives of Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) live in my
city! :) My friend's mom knows his mom... anyway, long unrelated
story. Alan Rickman recommended him for the part, after directing him
in 'The Winter Guest'.
I can't provide a link to the article because this newspaper doesn't
have its full contents online. It's too bad, since we could all use a
laugh and the article was a bit of a disgrace. I'm fairly sure the
author usually writes the senior column - I think it's on senior
health issues - so I'm not sure why he was writing about the HP movie.
Here's a quote, which just about made me fall out of my chair
laughing:
"...In 'Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone' (which will have a
slightly different title in the U.S., industry sources say)
Biggerstaff will play Gryffindor Captain Oliver Wood, the literary
significance of which required a call to [the local library]
children's department: at the Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry attended by orphan Potter, Gryffindor is one of the houses
or sub-units..."
*snerk* "sub-units"
"I'm in sub-unit Gryffindor" sounds more appropriate for the
Borg, doesn't it? :)
