Carol responds:

Have you forgotten the old Dark Wizard Grindelwald, taunting Voldemort
in his prison cell before Voldemort, that ignorant johnny-come-lately
who doesn't even know about the Deathly Hallows, AKs him? Maybe Ian
McKellen or Christopher Lee could play him, or is that too LOTRish?
Also, the role requires a kind of charm or charisma, which GG retains
(IMO) despite his great age and deplorable living conditions. Maybe
Derek Jacobi, whose work I'm not all that familiar with, could pull
that off at least as well as the other two?

If Gregorovitch is included in DH, he would have to be even older than
Grindelwald since he was an established wandmaker when young Gellert
perched on his windowsill to steal the Elder Wand.

Carol, now picturing OoP's skinny, tattooed Gary Oldman in Oldman,
erm, old man makeup playing GG
