<giggle> I rather agree with you. I think that Hugh Grant can pull off
the foppishness of Lockhart quite nicely, if he dies his hair blond.
Christian...I don't know what it is but he just doesn't strike me as
Lupin. He could probably do the part justice, I know he's a great
actor, but he just doesn't fit up with my mind's eye picture. I see
Lupin as this amazingly calm individual and Christian just doesn't seem
to portray calmness.

Of course, I've always slotted Christian with Newsies and American
Psycho. It's hard for me to imagine a young newspaper boy or a
twenty-something psychotic murderer as Remus Lupin. However, Christian
may prove me wrong.

Y'know what? I've just discovered that the Lupin in my mind's eye has
always been portly. That's strange considering that there are many
references to him being underfed. Odd how the mind will continually
ignore fact...guess I need to read PoA again.
