[HPFGU-Movie] Casting Issues and suggestions

[Matt Huber]

Well first I want to thank everyone for the spirited discussion of my earlier questions (Film Theorist Question) and it was quite a joy to read people with a passion for what they say.  My apologies for not writing back but I felt my questions were answered. Onto my thoughts on the above subjects.  Personally I find that this is a favorite topic of discussion for me as the "what if's" are always fun.  I too like many of you, saw the movies before reading the books and thus have the pictures of the actors in my head while reading the next books.  This probably stunts my clear mindedness but i must say that my original feeling towards Sirius was Robert Carlye (SP?) from Full Monty & James Bond fame.  He always conveyed the "rebel" yet lovable hero in Full Monty and still the backstabbed Villian in World Is not Enuff.  It seemed that he could convey the "escaped villian" and the "firece Loyalist" that is nessary in the role.  And thus in future films he will still have both aspects.   Which brings me to a point.  I always thought that Alan Rickman seemed a little older then he should.  If James & Lily are conveyed as parents to a young boy then they should be in their Mid 30's when they had him.  This we can see in the Mirror scenes from SS.  Thus Sirius & Lupin and so forth should be around the same age so now they would be ealry 40's or so.  How old is Rickman?  With his makeup and such he seems in his 50's. Oldman (pardon the pun) does seem like an old man.  Thats why seeing Robert with a young son in the Full Monty seemed to fit.   --Matt P.S. if this was the case though then Lupin (the best friend) should have been the best friend from the Full Monty as well, and that wouldn't work now would it   :)
