I've been wondering if Colin Firth was being considered for either Lupin or 
Sirius.  I'd have put him as Lupin myself, though Jeremy Northam might not be 
half bad for Lupin.  He has that gentle sort of look about him.  Colin Firth 
(who I have a doll named after, by the way :) ) is one I want in the movie, I 
don't care where, just in there. ;)  As Sirius  (or Lupin for that matter) 
wouldn't he half to lose a good bit of weight?  He's not overweight by any 
means, don't get me wrong, but he is, well, built.  Lupin's supposed to be thin 
and sickly looking, Sirius as an escaped prisoner and from Azkaban of all 
places, would naturally be a little on the lean side.

I remember reading in, I think Entertainment Weekly, that when the writer had 
visited the set a couple of actors who were currently filming at the studio had 
dropped by to visit the set of CoS.  One of them was Colin Firth.  Hmm.

Wait?  Wait?  I can't wait?!

According to the Internet Movie Database, there's really only one Richard 
O'Brien it could be.  One's from North Dakota and dead, one's only been a 
contestant on some show, and one's British. Gotta be the British one, right? So 
I took a look at him, and all I can say is EWWWWWW!  No way.

Me too.  And a whole lot of other people!
