No, Amy, unfortunately we can't get David Niven to play Crouch Sr. 
(though I'm sure he would have played him wonderfully). If Sir Ian 
Richardson isn't snagged (not snogged) for Dumbledore, I think *he* 
would make a terrific Crouch Sr. I've seen him in a couple of BBC 
mini-series on Masterpiece Theater ("House of Cards", wherein he 
played a fictitious and *ESE* British Prime Minister, is the only 
title I can recall). He can do "unctuous" with the best of them. And 
remember, he's the Grey Poupon Guy!!

I'm still wishing for Ralph Fiennes :-)
