[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Hooray! Celine Dion rumour false! +mov ie casting +Am Psycho

Amy - welcome home!
Yes, CHristian Bale is british - when he was around 12, he was the lead in
Empire of the Sun, so regardless of how wonderful he could be as Lupin, I
sorta like the idea of someone who was a child actor, and who has lived
through it in at least a seemingly healthy way, being around Daniel, Emma
and Rupert. 
Also, Kenneth Branagh's Henry V and Velvet Goldmine are both british films
(I just *knew* someone from velvet goldmine was going to end up in the HP
films...I just thought it would be ewan macgregor, whose looks in Moulin
Rouge are vaguely sirius-esque...)

Re: casting:  I don't know either of these actors who are the subject 
of PoA rumors.  They *look* right to me (Christian Bale does look too 
well-fed in the hpgalleries.com shot, but other pics of him are more 
Lupinlike--as for Hordley being weasellike, I know nothing of him 
except this one picture) but I looked up their credits and I don't 
think I've seen either in anything.  Is Bale British?  All his credits 
seem American.  I'm just going to have to take Heidi's word on this 
one, because wild horses couldn't make me read American Psycho again, 
much less watch it.
