You know...I, um...well.  *blushes* I have this thing for Paul Bettany. 
  Everything I see him in (such as "A Knight's Tale"), I am simply 
entranced.  I have no idea why this is, although I'm sure it's not his 
looks, because he's far too old for me and not my type at all.  
Furthermore, I am almost never that impressed by movie stars, 
especially ones who aren't even particularly pretty.  *is distressed*

That said, not only do I find him incredibly intriguing (my crushes 
almost always manifest themselves as a intense sort of curiosity, 
rather than melting/fuzzy/gooey feelings), but he's also completely 
taken over my inner picture of what an adult Ron might look like.  
Which is another bit of weirdness, considering the fact that I am 
definitely not a Ron fan.

Anyhow, since he obviously can't be Ron, I'm thinking that the next 
best thing would probably be Bill.  I mean, Charlie is sort of the 
rough-and-tumble dragon slayer (or..erm, caretaker) type, and I picture 
him as sort of muscular and stocky.  Bettany just does not have that 
look.  On the other hand, I think he could pull off Bill quite easily 
(and not just because I think the man is, in Harry's words, "Cool").

Laura (who would like to note that her thing for Paul Bettany is not 
exactly a "crush," per se, and that she only called it that for lack of 
a better word.)
