  me: O.K. I have to admit I was busting at the seams with laughter 
when I read your reply! You are correct in the fact that my dislike 
with Mister Oldman lies in his lack of Sirius' sex-appeal. While this 
may sound shallow, and I will agree that it does, it is still my 
opinion and i can't seem to get past it. I think Thewlis will do well 
as Lupin although he isn't the most attractive man in my opinion so 
the shallowness obviously isn't my main reason for liking an actor. 

  I laughed the hardest at you comments about Alan Rickman. I have 
been a fan of his since Sense and Sensibility, but did not become a 
devoted one until after seeing SS. I though he was sexy beyond 
words...and i know that others share my opinion. 

  I will not deny that Gary Oldman is an excellent actor. He is 
great. But to me he just isn't my idea of Sirius. Now that I think 
about it, no one is..but, I will watch Mr. Oldman do his best to 
portray him as I know he will and I will keep in my mind my vision of 
the Sirius Black that I have grown to love.

reads the books before he starts his scenes!)
