school at the same time as him), has the perfect look (at first 
glance appears to be evil, and sexy), and he can act the part...

I never thought about Gabriel Byrne.  He would be wonderful...I think he and
Alan Rickman would be awesome as adversaries.

I would not have been able to watch it without waiting for him to say "as you
wish..."  :)  He would have been great though.  I thought I read somewhere,
maybe the IMDB, that Hugh Grant was originally supposed to be Gilderoy Lockhart.
 Now that would have been funny.  Brannagh was wonderful, as far as mannerisms
went, but not quite "prettified" enough.
