I can't really see Draco as Valmont: he's too manipulative for that. Ron, I
can, easily. But then I reckon Ron will eventually turn out to be a Tragic
character.

IMO, Draco would be the Merteuil character (played by Sarah Michelle Vampire
Slayer), Ron the Valmont, Hermione as a mix of Cecile and Annette with Harry
as Ronald. Oh, the possibilities. When I'm done with the Song of Time, I
might write a HP "Les Liaisons Dangereuses"...

Oh, and Alex? The actor playing Justin is no way as hot as Charlie Hunnam.
:p
