Rutger Hauer might be a tad too... Teutonic looking for Ludo Bagman. 
Cary Elwes, though... hmmmm.... is now at least 40 and does sort of 
look like an athlete gone to seed. And he was sooo wonderful as 
Westley (aka the Dread Pirate Roberts) in The Princess Bride; so we 
know he can do comic relief (most recently I saw him as an Evil FBI 
Agent on X-Files so I know he can do drama). But he's American, isn't 
he? And so is Mandy Patinkin (aka Inigo Montoya), who I think could 
pull off Mad-Eye Moody. Dang JKR and her "must be Brits (or from 
British Empire)" edict! ;-)
