Your favorite actor/actress in HP movies

[mellypf]

*Lurker de-lurking briefly.*

I always thought Ewen McGregor would make a great Lupin.  I think 
David Thewlis does a nice job, but he just isn't Lupin for me.

Add me to the list who would have liked to have seen Peter O'Toole as 
Dumbledore (from the beginning...I would have preferred him over 
Richard Harris, and definitely over Gambon).  I think McKellen would 
have been good, too, and possibly Michael Caine, but I think O'Toole 
would have had that authority as well as eccentricity, (and twinkle) 
that Dumbledore is supposed to have.
