You mean you're almost 10 feet tall?? Yiiiikes!! Oh wait, you said 
you're the same size as Robbie Coltrane, not the same size as 
Hagrid ... oops... never mind ;-)

Not to mention that at the rate things are going, DANIEL will be as 
tall as Oldman by the time GoF starts shooting... and let's not go in 
the direction of "maybe Daniel won't play Harry in GoF"...

Actually I've only seen Thewlis once, and in that TV miniseries (one 
of the Prime Suspect series with Helen Mirren) I believe he played a 
serial killer. So I guess I haven't seen him play either buffoonish 
OR serious and quiet.

But the really good news is that it won't be Columbus directing 
them... there's still hope...
