No New Kids!

[Felicia Rickmann]

Funny, I always thought that PoA would make or break the series, but not for
that reason.  I love the kids to bits and agree that to replace them for GoF
would be a huge mistake because of the emotional investment of half the
world (or so..) in what has happened so far.

I always thought that the casting of Sirius and Remus to be very important
for this reason.  We care about the characters, and what they look like
(shallow, I know, but I like the way they look!)  If we don't like Sirius
and Remus as cast (pace Corgi....) I wonder if it might tip the balance the
wrong way, away from that will be a major investment i.e. GoF, supposedly a
two-parter.

I like the actors playing all the roles, yes we may lose one or two (Richard
Harris may be too ill to continue for example) , but not removing all three
at one stroke, it's a nightmare that may remove much of their audience.
