Turns out past uncomfirmed rumours have been debunked!
Jim Broadbent is going to play Slughorn in
HP6. Obviously, I'll be waiting until more sources confirm this, but it seems pretty certain now. That particular articles has a picture of Broadbent, but not in Slughorn's bald and walrus-moustached glory.
I think that's pretty exciting, though. Remembering
Moulin Rouge, I think Broadbent can do 'slighty eccentric and pompous' quite well. Well, I'm waiting until I see some sneaky screen shots of the bushy moustache to rival Vernon Dursley's, but since they're only starting filming in the next week or something, that'll be months away.
They didn't keep Umbridge's look that secret, though. I guess it'd be pretty impossible not to promote new teachers, especially in the trailer.. hm..
I've just finished re-reading the 7th book, and I'm still in but edging slightly away from my traumatic denial of my favourite character's death. I seem to have developed somewhat of a similar affliction to Tia - that I pick a favourite character and then they die. *cries over
Death Note*
However, I shall enjoy my refreshed DH evening and maybe have my own coffee, not partaking in the Ladies' Coffee and Cake Night on tonight. Apparently, mothers like to let their hair down when relative children are in sight.
And my brother has disappeared for two days now - not seriously a missing person, of course. But Dad and I have enjoyed our day off together and .. not together (me cooping myself up in the expanse of the living room and not eating lunch until finishing reading). ^_^;
