Geoff:
It always interests me how different many of the actors look when out of 
their HP make up and costumes.

Just as a side comment, it has been interesting to see how some of the 
actors away from the Trio are making their way. I haven't been watching it, 
but while changing channels have found myself passing a programme on 
BBC1 TV called "The Syndicate" in which one of the lead characters is played 
by one Matthew Lewis. It is about a group of workers who make a massive 
lottery win and he is a rather questionable member of the group, getting 
in bank robberies etc. He looks much more grown up than even in DH2 
with the "five o'clock shadow" which seems to be mandatory with younger 
actors today.
