Guy Lupin + Geoffrey Fudge

GulPlum corrects:

<<errr... like Guy Pearce, Rush is an Aussie...>>

Yarrrh! I knew that, I did. It's just that...well,
this will sound stupid, but the role that made me a
believer in Rush was "House On Haunted Hill," where
he plays an American tycoon. His accent is impeccable
(if unplaceable), and I tend to think of him that way.
*cringes* Sorry!

Aha, and I've forgotten Chris Barrie. Love him to
death, too. He stands in the Pantheon of Bluster next
to Kelsey Grammar. ^_^ Unfortunately, he's entirely
the wrong age (or type) for any of the open parts,
which brings me to....

I think Pearce is a little young. Don't forget that
TPTB have changed the time line just a bit by casting
a 50+ Rickman to play an apparently 40+ Snape, whose
peers Lupin & Co are meant to be. There's no way Guy
Pearce could say with a straight face that he was in
school with Rickman...

Good point. Especially since Lupin is supposed to
look older. (Although Snape's age has, IIRC, never
been estimated in the books, Lupin has been described
as looking "old.")

Snape is supposed to be around 36, but I have no problem
with Rickman there. As I've stated elsewhere, I think
Snape should look older than he really is because of all
he's been through.

Although I would not have said no to Tim Curry in the
same role....
