[HPFGU-Movie] Lupin (was David Thewlis?? Was: No Oliver Wood...)

[LeeMunLim03 at aol.com]

Quidditch won't be quite the same without the rather driven Oliver Wood 
though. Pooh to that indeed.


Well it could be the same but we will have to see too!  WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT 
AND SEE!  Lets hope the film is as good as the chamber and better.  Remember 
Wood doesnt make it in the Goblet of Fire since he graduated!  I wonder if 
(Jamie Yeates) Marcus Flint will stay until the Goblet!  He doesnt graduate 
with his class in the Prisoner!
