think it sounds more like Hogsmeade... Anyway, if they really do plan 
on filming at Glencoe the first three months of filming, and if it 
really is Hogsmeade, that wouldn't require Remus Lupin or Sirius 
Black.  

Isn't the Shrieking Shack either IN or on the outskirts of Hogsmeade? 
They certainly need to have Sirius, Lupin AND Peter cast for the 
Shrieking Shack.

Where is Ralph Fiennes when we need him?? :-) not entirely kidding 
here, I haven't given up hope ...yet.

And he does look rather like the Sirius Black sort.  Kinda scraggly 
looking at least. 

I never thought of Gary Oldman either. But given the rumors, I can 
actually sort of see him as Peter Pettigrew rather than anyone else. 
He's made a real name for himself playing characters who are bad 
guys, usually bad in a weird way, and who is more weird-bad than 
Peter (other than You-Know-Who)?

maybe he's the Boggart ;-)
