Azkaban - Oldman is Inspired Casting

[daughterofthedust]

  I'm just wondering why so many folks are questioning Gary Oldman 
(who I happen to think is perfect)??  What's really guiding your 
choices, adolescent fantasies (I thought this was a "grown up" 
forum) or actors who actually fit the part?

 Okay, I'm going to make a case for Mr. Oldman.. He's a fine actor, 
who will CONVINCINGLY make for the chilling mugshot he's suppose to 
sport post-azkaban. Plus, he can pull off the intensity that is 
expressed during that wonderful climax, and the fierce 
protectiveness for Harry. 

 And contrary to popular belief, he DOES clean up rather well, while 
still retaining his mysterious hard edge (all qualities Oldman has 
in spades, which none of the other suggested actors have). 

 Plus, he actually looks like he could have attended Hogwarts at the 
same time as Snape (Rickman).

  Still your fluttering hormones and go by who actually fits Ms. 
Rowling's description and I guarantee, Oldman comes out on top 
everytime....I mean come on, Hugh Jackman???
