OK, now I'm feeling guilty.  This was a very bad attempt to tease all 
those who have teased me in the past about wanting Colin Firth in the 
role.  I did forget that there would be an equal number out there who 
would be pleased about it.  

I think that it is too good to be true - wishful thinking on my 
part.  I am however, thinking of writing to his agent to try and 
establish whether he would at least be interested in the role.

Jen, you were quite right to be skeptical, and I'm very sorry!

BTW:  I also watched the entire webcast.  Was very annoyed about two 
things - how stupid that Tanya person was (had she forgotten JK 
Rowling's name?  "JK" honestly!) and how many minor celebrities got 
into see the film with absolutely no knowledge of the books (and I 
think a fair few of them pretended, as well).
