Fandom is now letting you share your Casting Suggestions with the general pubilc
(well, those who are interested in HP, at least) - their new newsletter has the
following:

> The net is overflowing with casting news for Warner Bros. Harry
>              Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and it's as exciting as exciting
>              can be! But it leads to the question 'who will play the
>              characters from the later books?' Leonardo Di Caprio as Cedric
>              Diggory? Lucy Liu as Cho Chang? We've dodged the bullet of
>              Rosie O'Donnell as Mrs. Weasley, but what other horrors await
>              us?
>
>              So, fancy yourself a casting director? Us, too. Let's take a
>              stab at casting CoS, PoA, GoF and as many other confusing
>              acronyms as we can! Who should play a teenage Tom Riddle?
>              You tell us. Crunchably cute Sirius Black and brooding Remus
>              Lupin? Also up to you! Here's the drill: Send an email to
>              wildaboutharry at fandom.com. Include the characters' name(s)
>              and the actors/actresses you think best suited to portray
>              them. We'll accept submissions from now until Wednesday,
>              Nov. 22. Then our crack team of experts will narrow the field to the two best submissions for each
>              character (Based on our impeccable taste, of course). After which we'll put the finalists up for a
>              vote. So get casting. Remember, only you can prevent Keanu Reeves from being cast as Gilderoy
>              Lockhart. "Whoa..."
>
>              What are you waiting for? wildaboutharry at fandom.com

Maybe I have an overinflated sense of the importance of this list, but I am
wondering if someone from Fandom is lurking here....(or on PoU - although I'm
sure that elsewhere in the universe, people do realize that sirius is seriously
sexy...)
