[HPFGU-OTChatter] Casting Lockhart...

[Neil Ward]

Camp...?  Well, it screamed out of the page at me.

Perhaps I should explain that I don't mean that he's really effeminate
(although that's possible); I refer to camp in the sense of its meaning
"highly theatrical," flamboyant and affected - i.e. he's an 'actorish'
Luvvie type (I guess that would put Branagh in the frame as well).  You'd
have to see Anthony Head in "sweet transvestite" drag...

Let's see...that OTT scene on Valentine's Day.  To me, that was camp.
Lockhart's favourite colour is lilac... hmmm.

I guess we all see things slightly differently!

Neil
