*grin*  I was ecstatic when I found out that Gary Oldman was playing the
part of Sirius Black.  (I pegged him for the role from my first reading of
PoA.)

My family and I like coming up with some of the actor's we'd think would be
good in certain roles...

Gary Oldman as Sirius Black

Marty Feldman (if he were still alive) would make the PERFECT Alistor Moody.
(But, a decent replacement would be Terry Gilliam.  I know he's not
technically British, but he was a part of Monty Python for all those years,
and if you watch him in Life of Brian, you can see a good Moody in the
character he played as the mad prison guard.)

Elizabeth Hurly as Rita Skeeter.  (We hear she's a lot like that arrogant
and nasty Skeeter woman in RL.. so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.)

I like the guy who plays Arthur Weasley... I originally thought Eric Idle
would also be a great choice.

IMHO, the guy who plays Johnathan (if I have the name right), M's main
assistant in the last 2 Bond movies (different from Moneypenny, her
secretary), would actually make a pretty good Kingsley Shacklebolt in the
5th movie.

Then, there's the one I would be VERY upset if they didn't see the virtue of
casting as Voldemort starting in the 4th movie:  TIM CURRY    (just watch
"Legend" and you can see one of the evil characters he plays in full
makeup... He played the devil by the name of Darkness.)
