RW as RL? (was Blasphemy!)

I'm extremely late replying due to some major RL situations in the last week.

I would agree with this, if it weren't for Good Will Hunting. That is one
of my favourite movies, and he isn't at all manic in it. He plays Sean
McGuire with a quiet understatement that contrasts beautifully with the
acting out of the title character, Will Hunting, as played by Matt Damon.
This was the role Williams won an Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for. If he
can pull off Sean, he could pull off a HP character. Not that I'm comparing
the writers of GWH (even if I'm madly in love with both of them :), Damon
and Ben Affleck, with JKR, but the character really did bring something
I've never seen before out of Williams. And I've watched enough of
Williams' movies to judge.

That's very true.

Joanne.
