Personally, I'd love to see Colin Farrell as Sirius Black. He's just exactly who I picture when reading the books. Also, he's Irish, which is great! Here's some photos of him so y'all can draw your own conclusions:

Any thoughts?

As for Lupin, Ewan McGregor seems like a great choice, and I hope he ends up playing the role, although Star Wars might interfere. Still, with PoA coming out in 2004 and Star Wars Episode III coming out in 2005, he should have room to shoot both... especially if a parts of Episode III is shot in Europe, like Episode II was.

Actually, I have a feeling the casting will really depend on the success of the CoS movie. If it does very well in theatres, more "big name" actors would want/accept the roles. However, if CoS flops, we may see lesser known (but not necessarily less talented) actors as Lupin and Black.
