I for one am pleased to see Gary get Sirius if they weren't able to get DDL,
who would be the best person for the role, IMHO.   Although he's probably
way too intense for it.  I _do_ think that Gary will probably be better
suited to play the scruffy just-escaped Sirius than the everything's fine
Sirius.

IMHO casting should have been:

Remus Lupin......Gary Oldman
Sirius Black......Daniel Day Lewis  
		 Colin Salmon (Yeah, I know, but why not?  The book doesn't
say he was white, does it?)
		 John Malkovich
		 
This is not based on any drooling fangal pitterpat, either.  It's based on
who, from previous exposure to their work, I feel can bring the character I
imagined to life.  Nowhere, but NOWHERE was David Thewlis in my mind.  I
just pray G-d they don't find a reason to cast Steve Buscemi as anything.
