I've always thought Willem Defoe would be a great Moody. He's a 
supurb actor and definitely on the creepy side. Did anyone see him 
in "Shadow of the Vampire"? He was amazing, even through layers and 
layers of makeup (*side note* "Shadow" also features Lupin candidate 
Ronan Vibert, who is so insanely *not* Lupinesque I *will* boycott 
PoA if he gets cast as Remus). And I'd dare say Moody's a bit richer 
character than the Green Lantern. But, again, Defoe is American, so 
that probably won't happen.

He's got the look, in my opinion, to pull off a wonderful Lupin. Just 
my thoughts>>>>

Julian Sands *would* make a good Lupin. I was watching the movie 
Impromptu (Terrific movie about the love affair between George Sand 
and Frederic Chopin -- highly recomended!!!!) the other morning -- 
Sands plays Franz Liszt -- and ruminating about what a terrific 
Lucius Malfoy he'd have been. I'd only ever seen him in harsh, mean-
type roles before, but he's softer and quite sympathetic in Impromptu 
and I was surprised to find him very likeable. Still, his features 
are rather sharp and I always pictured Lupin having softer, more 
boyish features. 

It *really* is too bad they just don't hand the casting over to the 
fans and make life easier for themselves ;-)~

BTW, am I the only one who feels like she's watching rapping Draco 
whenever they see Eminem (if you don't know who he is, count your 
blessings)? He looks exactly like an older Tom Felton.
