When I first read about Gilderoy Lockhart, I pictured Cary Elwes in 
the part (but perhaps I'm just betraying who I think should win 
the "Witches Weekly Most Fabulous Smile" award ... ;)  ). Mark Addy, 
mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, would be absolutely 
perfect IMO, being .. blonde, British, not *quite* in shape looking 
exactly like an overgrown schoolboy. I'd originally thought about 
Mel Smith but in retrospect, think that Mark would be perfect.

I hope that they leave all of the house-elves in .. I've been re-
reading all of my HP books in preperation for OoTP and was VERY 
upset that the fabulous scene with Lockhart's surprise Valentines 
Day party together with surly cupid-dwarves was omitted.
