[HPFGU-Movie] Re: If not Rickman- then who

[Nightbreed]

I don't get a sense of Snape's age in the film. After all, it's like Richman
is all wrinkled and gray. But yeah, most of the Order to have been in the
same year at Hogwarts should be in their mid-thirties in the movies. 

 

I don't recall Rowling ever saying how long Harry's parents were out of
school for, but by my estimates they should have been in their early
twenties when they died, so the actors in the film are far too old to play
them. If Harry's eleven in the first book / movie and his parents were
married and had him within a few years of graduating Hogwarts (when they
were 17) then they couldn't have been more than 20 - 25 when they died and
so Snape, Lupin, Pettagrew, Sirius should all be about 32 - 36 in the  first
film. 

 

It's also confusing, because you don't know how long Voldemorte was out
raising hell before Harry. The Weasley's admit to getting married at the
height of Voldemort's power, but so did Harry's parents and the Weasley's
oldest is a least 10 years older than Harry which means Voldemorte was in
power for at least a decade.

 

I'd really like to see a HP timeline.

There are a lot of people saying Rickman is too old.  Well, agreed.  So- to
those familiar with English actors, if not Rickman, then who?  Who other
than Rickman has that can be sleezy voice, and instantly change it?  Who has
the black eyes?  I honeslty think he was cast because he's the only one who
can pull it off.
 
For a couple of moments, I thought of Christopher Eccelsten (Sp?).  But the
eyes are ALL wrong and even when he's being ominous, he seems sort of happy.
