Casting: Remus and Sirius

[heiditandy <heidit@netbox.com>]

There's two very practical approaches to take at this point - one 
involves giving in to JKR's Jane Austen appreciation, and the other 
makes it *very* easy to have flashback-photos. 

First, the flashback-photos bit. 
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Cinema/1280/ac_rub.jpg is the 
simple reason why casting Rupert Everett as Sirius and Colin Firth 
as Remus makes perfect sense. 20 years ago, they starred together in 
Another Country and the stills and clips from *that* would would 
perfectly inserted into PoA photo albums. 

Second, the Austen-capitulation. This continues the Colin Firth As 
Lupin trend (see above) but replaces Rupert Everett with Jeremy 
Northam (late of Emma) who is seen here:

Of course, combine the two and you get Jeremy Northam (in Emma mode) 
as Sirius, and Ewan MacGregor (also in Emma mode) as Remus, but 
that's a post for another set of swoonings. 

And still.. there is merit in Gary Oldman as well

Lots of merit.
