LOL!  The Hugh Grant rumor never had any evidence to back it up, as 
far as I understand, so I wouldn't let rumors of AC "filling the 
Hugh-Grant shaped hole" in the casting scare you either.  Yet.

I could not *stand* AC in the only thing I've seen him in, Circle of 
Friends.  He was so over the top I was embarrassed to watch him.  But 
then, that's what I dislike about GL, too--he is by far JKR's worst 
piece of writing, IMHAFDWO (in my humble and frequently-disagreed-with 
opinion).
