Oh dear...  I can't quite make that work inside my head at all

Maybe - I can see him more easily than Grant, but I think part of the 
problem with both of them is that they're generally very dapper in the 
roles they take (I know, not always, but generally), so its hard for me to 
see either of them in the tattered clothes and rather run-down shape Lupin 
seems to be in. I actually think David Thewlis will do a great job with 
that one (now that I know who he is *g*)

Too bad they can't clone him :)

>I can see Ewan McGregor as Crouch, Jr.

For some reason, I always end up picturing Stephen Rea in that role.  No 
idea why, either - it's not like I'm a big fan of his, but that's just the 
image that spring unbidden into my head :)

As much as I love Ewan, though, I haven't come across any characters in the 
books yet that I'd pick him for...

Skeeter, definitely - I can see Ullman doing her beautifully!
