Ooo, I don't suppose you can point me in the direction of a site where I can find these pictures online? I loved that portion of the DVD. (Man, I still need to buy the DVD.)

Gilderoy's been my favourite HP character for about three years now. I was so nervous about the CoS movie - I was afraid it would go completely overboard and present Gil as this cartoonish, ridiculous buffoon. (And if they had cast Hugh frigging Grant like they'd been threatening to, I would have been right.) Kenneth's being cast did not ease my fears either, as I only knew him from the required-by-law viewing of Hamlet in high school and was quite doubtful that "the Hamlet guy" could play my beloved Gilderoy. (I didn't know about Grant until after the fact, otherwise I think I would have just been relieved that Gilderoy escaped such a fate.) I don't think I've ever been so happy to be wrong. And after I decided that this Branagh fellow (in spite of his not being quite physically right for the part) had done well by Gilderoy, I sought out some of his other work. *looks at the collection of Kenneth movies she's amassed* And the rest is fangirl history.

And by the way? So nice to discover fellow Gilderoy fans. Aside from a friend of mine, I felt like I was the only one for years.
