Casting for the HP movies

Agree with whoever said about Gary Oldman being sexy in an intense, 
sensual way. Maybe it's just my odd unconventional taste, I even find 
Gary's psychotic corrupted cop role in "Leon: The Professional" 
dangerously sexy too.;)

I see some people like to insist on JKR's casual(?) comment "Dead 
sexy". But sexy or not is really subjective. When I read the book I 
never imagine Sirius or Lupin being the conventional American 
Hollywood romantic heroes-ish "handsome" and "sexy" at all. I 
remember reading an editorial article before in which mention JK 
Rowling's "dead sexy" idol was the late Joe Strummer of the Clash. 
Who knows, maybe she has an "angry-bad boy-old-school-punk-rocker" 
image on her mind for Sirius (btw that's just my own speculation). So 
Gary -Sid Vicious- Oldman isn't entirely that far OFF if he really 
was casted. I have no problem seeing him playing Sirius at all. In 
fact I think he'll enhance Sirius for me (Gary will make 
Sirius "cool"!). I for one am thrill if the rumor of Gary Oldman is 
true!
