Just checking if anyone reads my posts... :-) Honestly, my brain isn't
big enough to store things like how many kids people have. It's even
more embarrassing to have it happen when I speak to my older cousins
who I barely see once every five years. Thanks for correcting me.

Speaking of doing research properly, did you know that Gary Oldman
learnt to play the solo part of Beethoven's fifth piano concerto (AKA
the Emperor Concerto) before taking on the role in Immortal Beloved?

BTW, I just had a brainwave about a possible actor for Mad-Eye Moody
that hasn't been suggested before AFAIK. What would you think about
Sir Ian Holm? (I know he isn't Scottish, but neither is Maggie Smith.)
Without the Bilbo Baggins costume I subconsciously picture him in, he
looks like this:

He probably wouldn't be interested, but a girl can dream, no?
