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!)
