I agree although personally I'd shift Ewan over to Sirius, and cast 
Richard Roxburgh (the Duke in Moulin Rouge, one of the villains in 
M:I 2) as Lupin. Roxburgh is an Aussie, not British, but I think he'd 
make an excellent Lupin. I've been dying to see him in a more serious 
role. And as a Moulin Rouge fan, it would be great to see a reunion 
of sorts. (Ooh.. Jim Broadbent would be a good Ludo Bagman too..)
