I absolutely *freaked out* when I saw the Timothy Spall as Lupin 
rumour. I was blinded by the picture. I thought it was a terrible 
choice and would ruin the movie.

I haven't changed my opinion on that at all. Timothy Spall as Lupin 
would *never* work.

However, he would make an excellent Pettigrew. Timothy Spall is a 
fantastic actor. I was so blinded by my hatred as him for Remus, I 
forgot I had been lobbying for him to be in the movies.

Personally, I thought Timothy Spall would have made a very nice Ludo 
Bagman. He's got that gone-to-seed bad boy thing going for him. But 
he would also work well as Pettigrew.

Okay, so we're rumoured to have Gambon as Dumbledore, Oldman as Black 
and Spall as Pettigrew.....

When are we going to get some good casting rumours on Lupin?
