One gay beer for my gay friend, and one normal beer for me because I am normal.

Has anybody CONFIRMED this?

Give her hell for us, Peeves.

Not Yet. The whole buzz originates from only one source.

Sweet....all we have to do is get Liam and Jeremy Irons in the film and maybe Gerard Butler and Matthew Macfayden, and my dreams are set.

I'd much rather see him as ALBUS Dumbledore. IMO Michael Gambon is completely miscast.

Nah, I like Gambon. And why would Hinds be so much better cast as Albus?

[–] elisabetta611 15 years ago

Because he can act. I still miss Richard Harris. He had Dumbledore's twinkle, his power and bearing just right while Gambon broods too much, yells too much and if HE offered Harry a piece of candy I'd be freaked out rather than touched. Gambon openly admitted to not reading the books (Though some suggest that was a "joke") and that all he has to do is "slap on a beard and be myself". URGH.
