Well, let's say I convinced myself he was a good choice a while before
I actually saw the movie, when the shock of him getting the part had
worn off a bit. ;-) Unlike other people I didn't have a preference for
a particular actor, maybe that made it easier. I just wanted someone
who could act and hoped the makeup artist would do the rest, that is a
decent job on his looks. I have to say I am still satisfied with what
I got.

May I ask which one?

Let's hope the director won't waste too much time on the three tasks
and the Yule Ball. To tell the truth I would have been grateful if the
ball had been left out, but apparently they are filming it. And if
they want to cram all this into 2 1/2 hours, there won't be a lot of
time left for the climax scene. I guess we'll just have to wait and
see.

LOL.
