>From what I've heard, its not just you, but I've heard people 
complaining about the casting for every character. Personally, I 
don't understand why anyone would complain about Gary Oldman for 
Sirius. PoA is my favorite of the books and Sirius is my favorite 
character, so I was the most interested in his casting for PoA. I 
hadn't even heard of Oldman, but realized I had seen three movies 
with him in them already. I've rented a bunch more (including Scarlet 
Letter, which wasn't the best movie, but did show that he *could* be 
good-looking with the right hair), and I'm VERY convinced that he'll 
be perfect to play Sirius. (Of course, I never had the image in my 
head of the 'attractive' Sirius that others seem to have, I always 
imagined Lupin as the good-looking one). I think he is an amazing 
actor, and he has the intensity needed for Sirius (at least in PoA). 

I'm curious, why do you think he's wrong for the part?
