Sirius: The Casting Challenge

[celticangel1976]

I've been a Snape fan since I read the first book, which was before 
the movie.  I generally go for those types of characters anyway.  
Much more interesting to me.  Rickman IS my Snape.  I never went 
with the drawings in the books (the US books) because JKR had 
nothing to do with those.  They were done by someone the publishing 
company found or something.  Can't remember where I read this, it's 
been ages ago.  And the drawing Snape doesn't really go with canon 
Snape much if you ask me.  But when I heard Rickman was going to be 
Snape in the movies I couldn't have been happier.  I think his 
snarkiness is funny in the books.  It's a dry humor that if you're 
on the receiving end of you wouldn't find funny at all, so I can see 
how/why Harry reacts like he does to it.

I'm not sure who I pictured as Sirius, but Oldman is perfect.  I 
find Oldman to be attractive so really whether or not he's "good 
looking" enough is all in the eye of the beholder.  Only one I 
wasn't sure about was Lupin, though David Thewlis is growing on me 
and I think he'll do a wonderful job.  Well then there's Gambon...I 
just don't know.  Harris WAS my Dumbledore to a T so this will be 
hard for me to get used to.  But I'm reserving judgement for the 
movie.  And I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job regardless of whether 
or not he meets my visual of the character.
