I've been saying for ages that Jeremy Irons would have made an absolutely darling Remus Lupin for the third Harry Potter movie, if only he was... mmm... ten years younger. Not because of his looks, certainly (still pretty after all these years), but more because of the relative ages of the Marauders. I always figured Lupin to be between 35 and 40 and with Jeremy being... let's see... 54, I believe, it seemed a little much to hope for.

But oh... ooooh... ohhh. Guess who is two years older than Jeremy and playing a rather large part in the movies?

Alan Rickman. :D

Vive la older men!

There is still a semblance of hope for li'l ol' me.
