Oh yes! In my glee over the Fiennes factor (the man won me over in Strange Days) being added to Potter I totally forgot about the calienteness of current castmembers. Rickman is great if only for his voice and his great accent...problem being once he opens his mouth I find myself cringing slightly and wondering why exactly the British could come up with dentures but not toothpaste and/or orthodontia. Poor things are genetically cursed with attrocious whites (or yellows, as some of them tend to be born with). I'm thinking his Snape-likeness to one Trent Reznor adds to the attraction as well. *grin*

Isaacs is great, but I've never really been one for blonds. And, although I know people write slash between every and all characters in the Potter universe, I'm fairly certain I ran across some atrocious fanfic (really; I'm not a fan of the stuff) involving him and Potter that so traumatized me that I can't think of him the same way again.
