Carol responds:

I almost never watch TV--only "Sunday Morning," "Monk," and maybe the
news and weather, or "Funniest Home Videos" if I'm in the mood for
something utterly mindless.

I realize that the role has been cast, but, to me, Hughes doesn't look
the part. In fact, he looks like "a right old slob"--Tonks's
description of her father. So, on the off chance that Ted Tonks is
included in DH, maybe they'll cast him for that part.

Carol, wondering if anyone has suggestions for Xenophilius Lovegood or
the young Grindelwald in DH
