Shelley:
As soon as you mentioned him, I instantly pictured him as Slughorn, and I
thin the personality. He would also have the rounded face for the job.

> Moody should be Sean Connery from, well, anything since he got old.

Shelley:
I highly applaud these two picks!

I might have to add Conen O'Brian from the late night tv for Lockhart- just
add the curly wig. He strikes me as the kind of guy who could sport a
constantly wide smile and be sappily full of himself. The medium which shall
not be named didn't show enough teeth, which were mentioned over and over in
the books, so whomever plays Lockhart must first have a good smile. I
haven't seen Conen's full set of choppers, so he might not be the best pick
after all. I can't think of whom else would be slightly more mature who
still runs around like a 20 year old beach volleyball player adoring all of
his lady fans who is all teeth and wide grin. Maybe those who follow the
tournaments can give a good pick from that sport.
