I am loving everything else I see for this movie.  I am so excited 
for it, it looks like it is going to be a really good, strong film. 

"Else" is the key word here, I am rather distressed over this Lupin 
situation.  It is one thing for him not to look like what I pictured 
Lupin to look like, but I have yet to talk to someone who hasn't said 
the same thing, essentially: "That's Lupin?  It doesn't look like 
Lupin!"  

I love, love, love Lupin, in fact, I think my husband might be 
jealous.  I don't know, I just keep telling myself that maybe this is 
just not a great shot of him and he will look better in the movie.  

I really don't know anything about Mr. Thewlis, I've never seen him 
in anything, so all I can say is that I hope he's good, all the other 
adults that have been cast are great, so that is certainly 
reassuring.  If he plays Lupin like the Lupin that we all know and 
love, than I can accept that he doesn't look how we all imagined.  I 
mean it is the character that we love that gave us the image in our 
minds of what he should look like, right?.  If he's a wonderful Lupin 
then I think we will be able to get past how he looks.  

But come on people, it is the night of the full moon in the Shreiking 
Shack, shouldn't he be a little shaggier?  All right, I'm done, I 
promise.
