Ok I get your point...lol
I didn't mean they should be attractive for romatinc roles..I have
never thought this..I knowHP isnt about romance..however just by the
description in the books I get the picture of a rather attractive
man...does this make me a bad person???
LOL
And as for Lupin...I guess Thewlis will do..lol I will admit to never
have seen him in a movie so I might be surprised with him..
