My artwork and Character ages

[Lisa Rourke <LMRourke@yahoo.com>]

Yes, Lilac, that's my artwork!  Thank you so much for your comments 
and the plug!^_^ Actually, I'd be happy if they could make Thewlis 
look like my (Moony)The new DADA teacher :-)  He's more the correct 
age.
As for the ages of the contemporaries (Severus, Sirius, Remus and 
Peter) I was always under the impression that in PoA they were in 
their mid 30's.  I also got the impression that Lucius and Arthur 
were about the same age but definitely older than the above mentioned.
I really like Alan Rickman as Snape but casting a considerably older 
actor (he's 54 I think) has skewed who they could cast as Lupin and 
Sirius.  Gary Oldman is almost 45 and Thewlis is I believe almost 
40.  But since Sirius has had 12 hard years in Azkaban and Lupin is 
sickly they can "age" them up somewhat, I guess.

P.S. Since you already plugged my artwork, Lilac, I don't feel so 
guilty posting this:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LMRourkeArtGallery/
It's my yahoo Group that I started to house all my artwork (HP, LoTR 
and others) :-)
