Future casts/Speaking of the Nimbus 2000

It's interesting to see the debates about casting for future movies 
raising their heads (no, I did not say ugly) again.  Personally, I 
see Joseph Fiennes for Lupin and Daniel Day Lewis for Sirius Black, 
but no one else seems to. ::sigh::

Perhaps we should construct a database on the website for folks to 
put in their suggestions for various actors/roles.  (And then we 
wouldn't have so many posts about casting--like this one. <g>)  
There would be a succinct record to compare with reality when the 
future film casts are announced.

That's one of the funnier merchandising stories I've heard.  It 
reminded me of when I was shopping recently, and I picked up a poppy-
seed salad-dressing whose label proclaimed that it was good on fresh 
peaches.  I peered closer and saw a sticker on the back that 
said, "Does not contain peaches."  Do people actually need to be 
told these things?  Does anybody seriously think that a Nimbus 2000 
will help them to fly?  Don't they know that Muggles can't operate 
these things?  <g>  Now if a witch or wizard were buying it...
