Alshain:
He's 59 says imdb, so a good guess. It's too bad we don't know at what
age people stop playing professional Quidditch, but I think their
careers might be a bit longer than the ones of Muggle athletes. I can
imagine him in the role quite well, exuding a kind of backslapping,
flamboyant joviality cum dodginess.

Karkaroff with a Scottish accent. That would be the day. :-)

Thought about posting a link in my first post, but forgot about it.

Not really a Bagman type IMO. But it seems our opinions about Bagman's
age differ a bit, I imagine him to be in his forties or early fifties.

No one from OoP fits either as I recall, I've loaned it to a friend so
I can't check.
