Don't take this the wrong way, but you're making me sick too <g>.  I 
know I should get over my instinctual mistrust of the popular and the 
beautiful, but the fact remains that I would find Lupin a lot less 
attractive if half the school drooled over him.  I hope they pick 
someone who isn't drop-dead gorgeous.  (Uh, except that I want Ralph 
Fiennes to play him.  Oops.  But his handsomeness is a drawback, I 
swear!)

Of the four, only Sirius is described as handsome.  Lupin is 
described neutrally, Pettigrew negatively.  All we know of James is 
that he was tall and looked like Harry, who, remember, doesn't like 
anything about his own looks except his scar.
