I went and looked. Found three names, two we had thought of and one (good
one!) we hadn't. These all dated from between late October and November 7,
and NONE might be right:

-------------

The Dark Horizons Web site reported that Peter O'Toole is the latest actor
rumored to be in line to replace the late Richard Harris as Professor
Dumbledore in the upcoming third Harry Potter movie, The Prisoner of Azkaban

---------

Veteran actor Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings) confirms he is in talks to
replace the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore in the third Harry Potter film.
Speaking on his Official Website, the actor's spokesperson confirmed rumours
of a Lee-Dumbledore.

------

There should probably be a rule about being involved in too many
franchises...

While we know Christopher Lee as Saruman in "Lord of the Rings," as one of
the original Draculas, and also Count Dooku in "Star Wars," it was rumored a
few weeks ago that Lee may be tapped to play Dumbledore in the next "Harry
Potter" movies.

Now, the NY Daily News adds a new name to the list: Ian McKellen. Yes,
Gandalf from "Lord of the Rings" and Magneto from "X-Men."

McKellen's representatives would not comment on the story.

------

Peter O'Toole is OLD, though! But he's TALL!

He's 70. and 6'3"

Christopher Lee:
80 years old and 6'5"


Ian McKellan, shortest (bad) but youngest (good, if they want to go for four
more films)
5'11", but not born until 1939, so he's only 63?

I've heard that this next one is it. Just three and no more. I had heard that
Ms. Rowling wasn't too up on the idea of movies in the first place, so who
knows?

I forgot about him. He'd be good! Very Dumbledoreish.

Oh please, oh please, oh please! I've been in love with him ever since I
first saw "The Ruling Class".

I saw a trailer for it yestreday. It looks terrible. He plays an
aristocratic englishman who has his American teenage daughter
come to stay in his posh house. He hasn't seen her for years.
He looks good in it but the CA teen is irritating beyond belief. Just
how many times can you say 'like' in a sentence!!

Hehehehehe.
And the use of the word 'so'
as in
"you are 'so' grounded."
instead of
"you are grounded."

I dunt understand, being an ignorant foreigner.

You could have fitted at least 3 more 'likes' into what you said ;-)

Perhaps its just brits that find the 'Sweet Valley High' speech
irritating?

I *so* loved the Simpson's episode where they fall asleep during the sermon
because the air conditioning went out in the building, and each dreams a
Bible story. Marge's is the garden of Eden, and God (Ned's voice) says "You
are SO BANISHED" as he thumps her over the wall with his finger.

In one of the commentary CDs about lord of the rings, Viggo Mortensen is
telling a story, but he leaves off the last work or phrase a couple of times,
which is like, you know. I wonder if someone were putting captions on
something like that, even for foreigners (like kiwis and aussies) whether it
would be good to put the left-out part in brackets. He said something like
"Like when you're driving, and someone's watching, and you start to over-c-"
and he went on to another phrase without finishing "over-compensate."

All those "so...whatever" phrases would have an understood second phrase. So
whatever that... but it trails off American style. It's like a set-up line
without the punch line because the punchline is too routine.

American Girl. See http://www.firth.com/wagw.html

We saw the trailer with HP2 on Friday (first show, digital :-)))

It followed one for The Two Towers, which was awesome; after American Girl's
trailer, a gruff male voice from the front of the theater said "I can't wait
to see THAT," which cracked everyone up :-)

I also googled "british actors" and found this jewel:

What a way to kill an afternoon!

Half of them on the list ain't obscure!! Sean Bean for one. He's well
famous. As is Jude Law, Ewan MacGregor (drool) and Clive Owen.

Is he a brit. I can't remeber now. I always Cary Grant was
American, now I find out he was British. Learn something new
every day :-)

Probably that manly name.
"John Wayne."
"Rock Hudson"

Manly names.

Neville Braithwaite. Not manly.
Ian ANYTHING. Pink.

(Of course those guys probably were named pink stuff. What was John Wayne's
real name? Francis or something? I used to love reminding people my
parents' age that John Wayne was NEVER a cowboy, and NEVER a soldier, he was
an actor who wore makeup. They'd just about burst into tears.)

I, for one, find it extremely irritating. Also it's, like, ya know, like all
Californians are, like, now stereotyped by one, like, small
region's speech pattern.

I knew the words to most of "Man Of La Mancha" when I was high school, a
close friend played the score album 24/7. Now all I can remember is "Born on
a dung heap, do die on a dung heap, a strumpet men use and forget."

I realized that it was actually "Lawrence Of Arabia" that sealed my crush on
Peter O'Toole. The man's face was luminous!
