[HPFGU-Movie] Tattoos and other things

[Valerie Flowe]

From: "Gary Sapp & Karen J.S." <karen-gary at worldnet.att.net>

I just had the question about why Gary Oldman has tattoos?  Are they
Cuaraon's idea or does he have them in real life.  I must say overall
I thought he did a good job (even though I had major misgivings about
his being cast in the part) but why did they have to make him so dirty
and scummy looking?  Now I know some will say that is part of prison
life, people get tatooed as something to pass the time but I don't see
Azkaban as a place for that, in fact there wouldn't be much
interacting between prisoners at all.  Just like some others thoughts
on this.

Haven't heard anything definite about the tattoos, though it is speculated
that it was Cuaron's vision. And it's not mentioned anywhere in the film. An
earlier pre-movie release post thought that the tattoo looked like prison
serial numbers? Anyhow, I think it looks cool! But you're right; somehow I
envisioned Sirius in solitary confinement for 12 years...
