I was one of the lucky devils who actually got seats in the 
Grandstand right opposite the entrance to the Odeon Leicester Square 
yesterday and saw Richard E Grant arrive ....... I shouted out to my 
13 year old that he would make a PERFECT Sirius Black..... he does 
the haunted bit brilliantly but has a superb "Twinkle" too!  I agree 
he's pretty good on the eye too!  Can you imagine Richard E Grant as 
Sirius and Ewan McGregor as Lupin?  They get my vote anyway.  Also 
saw Glenn Close there and thought she'd make a great Rita Skeeter for 
book 4 but some other fans reckon she'd be good for Trelawny.  Any 
votes?
