Excellent call on the Mad-Eye thing - I had never been able to 
picture anyone in Moody's role while reading the books (and some 
face normally springs to mind for everyone) but Rowan Atkinson would 
be perfect! Did you see the Blackadder episode where he also plays 
Edmund's mad Scottish cousin, MacAdder?? Sublime!
