<<"Former England rugby player Martin Bayfield has been in discussions
about joining the production of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.">>

Thanks for digging that up, Nick! He's quite young, but he's from near
my home town, so hooray if he's in the film.

Actually, this bolsters my theory that Robbie Coltrane is auditioning
for Vernon Dursley, not Hagrid.

I just found this comical description of Martin Bayfield on a web site
promoting his after dinner speaking skills: -

"Standing at 6 feet 10 inches and weighing around 20 stones, he makes
an impressive addition to any top table!"

Makes him sound like an exotic ice sculpture...
