Subject: Re: Gary Oldman as Black = Genious!!!

The wire story I saw confirming Thewlis as Lupin referred to Gary 
Oldman as the "front runner" for Sirius. It might mean he's indeed 
the top contender; it might mean he's the only contender they know 
of. Time will tell... though I must admit I'm rooting for Oldman, 
because he's one of the few actors who could make me feel any 
sympathy for Sirius "The Prank" Black. *ducks, gets hit anyway*
