I agree, Gary Oldman doesn't fit with my image of Sirius at all.  Fiennes 
would have been my choice for Lupin too -- I don't know this other actor's 
work at all.  From the pictures posted, he has the look I was thinking of for 
Lupin, but I know Fiennes would totally NAIL that part!  Maybe he costs too 
much for them to use him?  They do try to keep the majority of the budget for 
SFX, don't they?  And they did (and it's a good thing!!!!) give Dan a hefty 
raise after the union got after them, from what I read.  Gary Oldman is kind 
of creepy in anything he does and doesn't have a "big strong" look to him, 
more of a weasly look, from the movies I've seen him in.  I pictured Sirius 
as a big, strong man.  Oldman just doesn't fit the part IMHO, although I'm 
sure he'll do a good job IF he got the part.  JMHO.
