Casting Slughorn

[geebsy]

I always thought Bob Hoskins would be a good Slughorn.  Broadbent, 
however is so incredibly versatile.  I couldn't believe he could go 
from singing & dancing in "Moulin Rouge" to "Iris"  The fact that he 
has been nominated for major Brit & Academy awards just add to his 
cache.
