With regard to Fleur, though, "somewhat attractive" (which, IMO, also
applies to Clemence Poesy) isn't good enough. She should be stunning, what
we Americans used to call "a knockout." Since I'm unfamiliar with French
actresses, I have no idea who would be more suitable for the part. But I
don't think we have to rely on cultural standards entirely because we have a
description--long silver-gilt hair (yeah, I know; they could use a wig for
the hair but she would need the coloring of a blonde), big blue eyes, and a
willowy build, to begin with. I would expect her to move gracefully, as
well.

Well, in the US big, blue eyes, full, pouty lips, blond hair, slender body
usually is the standard of beauty. As a man, I personally think she's hot
and if she walked into any club / bar around here she'd be swarmed even if
she'd never been on a film or photographed professionally.

As Ron put it "you know how I like it when they walk."
