Since I'll probably end up dragging myself to see it when it comes out next year, I checked out imdb.com for some info on the third Harry Potter movie. I can only say this: whoever did the casting was on crack.
Of all the people to play Sirius Black, Gary Oldman is about the last I would have thought of. "Sirius" looks like a cross between Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, and someone's pet schnauzer.
Probably wouldn't have thought of David Thewlis to be Lupin either.
He did an excellent job playing that corrupt cop in 'The Professional'.

A great actor indeed, but not who I expected for Sirius, I was hoping (oh god i was hoping!) that they might cast Jeremy Irons as Sirius, both him AND Alan Rickman in a film,,,,,= )YEAH!

I'd rather sit in a bucket of my own filth than watch a Harry Potter film.
I hope he gets crippled.

I LOVE that movie! Have you seen the un-edited version known as "Leon"?

He may well be a fine actor, but - Gary Oldman as Sirius Black?
For one thing, isn't he supposed to be a bit younger than that?
And c'mon, Flashy, the Potter films are entertaining, if nothing else. Anything with John Cleese in it must be good.
