When I think of Lupin, Black, and even Pettigrew, I think- good 
looking. They have to be, they were The Marauders and what I 
visualize as the "A" group of Hogwarts- you know, the quarterback of 
the football team, they guys everyone wanted to date, yada yada yada 
(I'm making myself sick here). That's just what I think of when I 
think of them. I know it's been 20 years and Lupin looks shabby and 
Black looks like an ex-convict, but still- underneath all that wear 
and tear is a FINE lookin' man. LOL

If these rumors hold as true....I'd have to say although I am open to 
the possibility of fine performances on their (Thewlis and Oldman) 
parts...my pre-movie excitement will be pretty diminished.

Even Gambon as Dumbledore I find unexciting...although I'm sure he's 
a fine actor who seems to bear a strong resemblance to R. Harris.  
Yes, I know I should be happy with just "fine actor" and "strong 
resemblance"...but still...most of this news lacks "oomph" from my 
standpoint.  If you are one of the people out there who likes the 
news....good for you...but it's not "doing it" for me.  *sighs*
