Isn't he still in the "adorabley cute stage?"  (I know, it's probably
spelled wrong, not a word I often spell)

I must say I agree.  I was disappointed at the first casting of Gary Oldman,
but after seeing his diversity I thought I'd give him a chance.  He looks
fantastic.

I agree.  I'm trying to give him a chance, but his clothes don't even look
right.  What on earth is he wearing?    I had him pictured as Viggo
Mortensen (out of Aragorn get up).  Which, ironically, I pictured Sirius as
Viggo Mortensen IN Aragorn style. :)  To think the money they could've saved
only getting one person.  (Kidding!)

Now, what about Rupert?  I love the too small clothes, great touch.  But why
is it he's always shafted?  We get one decent picture of him (I don't count
the one in the table of contents, too small to count), and one of the back
of his head.  Or a double's head.  Somebody's head.  I gave this rant once
already to my mom, who claims it's only because Daniel's the star, Emma's
the girl, and Rupert's just a costar.  Well, so what.  Anyway, I didn't
think I would like the hair, but I do.

I'm also glad to see they did away with greasy haired Draco.  I'm sure Tom
Felton's glad too.  And everybody who's hyperventilating over the lack of
robes, calm down. ;)  There are robes.  They aren't in class in any of these
pictures, so they don't HAVE to have robes on.  There really are robes,
unless Daniel, Emma, and Rupert have taken to wearing robes in their off
time. :)
