Yep, I'm really sorry about that, I completely forgot that you're all 
mostly Americans:o)  Here I go, with a suitable biography of each:

Professer Sprout: Dawn French, well for those of you who don't know 
(although I'm sure most of you do), she's short fat, and very lively 
and loveable:o)

Cornelius Fudge: Richard Attenborough (on second thoughts, I don't 
think he'd be so good)

Voldermort: Christopher Lee, he's a horror actor (a bit of a cult 
figure), most famous for the Hammer House of horror films, he's also 
played Dracula and is going to play Saruman in The Lord of the Rings. 
I'm sure you can find a picture of him at:

Sirius Black: Sean Bean. Erm, how can I describe him? Well, I can't 
really, only to say that he's going to be Boromir in The Lord of the 
Rings. Pictures probably at the above webstie.

Lupin: Mark Gatiss. Do you get The League of Gentlemen in America? If 
not, you won't have a clue who he is, but he's a tall, thin man and 
can play almost any part that's thrown at him! 
http://www.leagueofgentlemen.co.uk/ He's the one on the right with 
the purple background.

Moody: Hmmm...I think the guy who was Filch would have been good, but 
they can't use him now. Can't think of anyone for him. Maybe the guy 
who plays Father Jack in Father Ted. He's a smallish man, quite old, 
and has a very sort of 'gruff' voice. Here's a good picture:

Ludo Bagman: Graham Norton. He's a very lively, very camp Irish actor 
(also in Father Ted occasionally), and he has an immensley popular 
chat show in Britain. When I read GoF and Ludo Bagman was introduced, 
I immediately thought: Graham Norton. But then, that's only my 
imperpretation:o) This is the best picture I can find:

Mr Crouch: Derek Jacobi. Erm...he was in I Clauduis and most recently 
in Gladiator. He's meduim sized, quite thin, quite old with very 
white hair. And a bloody good actor to boot. Just how I imagained Mr 
Crouch. Here's a nice picture of him a couple of years ago:

Well, I hope that's all a bit clearer now:o)  Sorry for wasting 
space, but it was quite late and I didn't think that you wouldn't 
know who most of those people were (they're all very big names in 
Britain) :o)
