Jamie Bamber would make a good Charlie Weasley too.
Willow: Happy hunting. Buffy: Wish me monsters.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Bill Weasley is already Damian Lewis in the world of me.
Damn. If those other Weasleys were played by Jamie Bamber and Paul Bettany and Damian Lewis...
Damn.
The Weasleycest would be Out. Of. Control.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I have no comments on the books, I just want to see more ginger men.
So, umm, please continue casting Weasleys.

Hec, what do you mean when you say prose is "decadent"?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Not Hec, but when I say that I mean the prose is practically dripping with gleeful excess of descriptive verbiage.
Or else that it is told in such a cynical voice that everything is shot through with experience and amusement.
Actually, usually both, or anyway the former is irritating without the latter as leavening.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, what do you mean when you say prose is "decadent"?
I'm specifically referring to the fin de siecle era, the aesthetes and French symbolists.
Decadence - Wikipedia has a quick summary.
Ooh look - The Decadent Generation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Not Hec, but when I say that I mean the prose is practically dripping with gleeful excess of descriptive verbiage.
This would be the aesthete influence. The lapidary prose style.
Or else that it is told in such a cynical voice that everything is shot through with experience and amusement.
People like Baudelaire, Wilde, Huysmans, Walter Pater. The Pre-Raphaelites precede it but definitely had a similar lotus-eater vibe.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a lot about both the GoF movie and HBP, including casting ideas for the movie adaptation of HBP. Love the suggestions-- Brian Cox as Rufus Scrimgeour, Bob Hoskins as Horace Slughorn, Peter O'Toole as Marvolo Gaunt, Rhys Ifans as Morfin Gaunt, Helena Bonham Carter as Merope Gaunt, and Daniel Day-Lewis as Fenrir Greyback .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rhys Ifans is a bloody genius suggestion.
