Casting: Heath Ledger-Diggory

Glad you reminded me!!

I've been thinking for ages that Heath Ledger ought to play Cedric 
Diggory. I realise it's a completely unrealistic suggestion since he 
is gonna be far too old by the time they get round to making the 4th, 
but in my head Cecric is always going to have curlyish blonde hair, à 
la Heath Ledger in "A Knight's Tale", and to me he just seems 
suitably boyish. Because let's face it, Cedric has to be good-
looking, doesn't he? Fred and George, rather jealously I always 
think, refer to him as "pretty-boy Diggory", and so I think of him as 
cute, but in a babyfaced sort of way, rather than in a rough-and-
ready masculine way. Hence he has tumbling locks, preferably blonde!! 


I am also extremely torn with regard to the casting of Lupin and 
Black, as I see both Colin Firth AND Anthony Head as very good Lupin 
possibilities. Not Ewan MacGregor though. I don't think he is old 
enough or well-worn (!) enough to play either role. I find it very 
hard to pinpoint a suitable candidate for Black, because I don't 
personally find Black a particularly attractive (in a physical sense) 
man. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the character, it just means it is 
hard to find an immediately fitting actor, considering the amount of 
pressure there is on actors to be attractive.  

Just a few minor thoughts!
