Re: Lupin. Even though I pictured Lupin to be a pale, scrawny 
man and Thewles (sp?) was very tall and rather healthy looking, I 
thought his portrayal of Lupin was outstanding. Look at how well 
he delivers his lines. Just the right inflection, pauses, at the
right 
moment. A definite professional. Where can I see more of his 
work?
Oh, and wasn't it so cool how he waved his hand to unlock the 
trunk or to have his belongings pop neatly into the suitcase? 
Nice effects...
Someone mentioned earlier that they didn't like the fact that 
Lupin looked 1940's in his attire, 'stache, choice of old-timey 
music. Then how the kids were dressed in contemporary attire. 
But then you look at McGonagall and she looks to be from the 
late 1800's. That's what I think is so brilliant about the HP 
storyline. You really have no clue when this is supposed to be 
taking place!

Still a bit bummed that Gary Oldman didn't get more airtime. He's 
another acting genius! Last week I saw "True Romance" again. 
He steals the show. He is such an amazing chameleon in every 
role he plays. Sirius figures so little in GOF, then returns very 
prominently in OOP. But I'm afraid by then Oldman will be off 
somewhere else and not reprise the Sirius Black role. That'd be 
a bummer.
