Actually, I think Tom Baker would be pretty neat as Mad Eye Moody!  I
*loved* him as Dr. Who, never liked any of them after he was replaced
(regenerated, whatever).  Moody needs to be likeable but peculiar. Tom Baker
fits that pretty well.  We are *supposed* to like Moody, like Harry does.
In fact, Moody was one of the three people I said couldn't possibly be the
"faithful servant at Hogwarts" when I read GoF for the first time.   So he
needs to be very believable.  Plus, JKR said we'd meet the real Moody on
book 5, so he'd have a role in the next one as well.
