Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to this list so I'm trying to catch up on 
the last couple of weeks of posts. Anyway, after growing up with a 
mom who adored Richard Harris, I was happy he was picked to play DD. 
I'm not quite so sure of Michael Gambon though. All the movies I've 
seen with him in them, he's played a pretty big rat b*stard. I know 
other movies shouldn't prejudice anyone so I'm trying to keep an open 
mind on this one!
