I was 
curious to see who Timothy Spall is, as he's supposed to be playing 
Peter Pettigrew.  He looks about right for the part and has an 
impressive list of credits, including--the voice of Nick the Rat 
in "Chicken Run."  Hmm.  Does he have to worry about typecasting in 
the future? <eg>

OK.  I went over to IMDb with great excitement to see Pettigrew.  
Clicked on the name.  Saw a photo that I had previously seen over the 
caption "David Thewlis."  Huh?

Went looking for David Thewlis websites, found a couple of stills on 
Yahoo!Movies, with an actor who looks more like the Lupin I picture 
than the photo of Thewlis?Spall? (more professorial).

So I am happy but confused.  Also, the Leaky Cauldron hasn't 
mentioned Pettigrew casting at all.  Help?
