A little part of David Thewlis talking about his role in Harry Potter
"She said, 'are you going to get one to find out if you've got a job in
two years' time?'" recalls Thewlis. "So I put my coat on, and went out
and queued up with the kids and parents, and stood in the corner of the
bookshop, and a few pages in, I saw Lupin's name in the present tense
and I was like, "yes!". The guy in the counter was looking at me, but I
didn't care, and I flicked to the back to see if I was still in it. And
the guy says, 'are you checking to see who dies?'. He was most
indignant. I'm like, 'No'. And he goes 'Yes you are!'. Then I saw more
Lupin near the end and I walked out of there a happy man."
Sitting in a Yarra-side hotel suite about a year later, a packet of
cigarettes and a steady stream of Red Bull helping him avoid jet-lag
crash, Thewlis is more than happy to laugh at a common fear among
members of his craft. But there was also a matter of thespian etiquette
to deal with afterwards: Lupin may have avoided the chop, but Sirius
Black hadn't, and on the screen, that part was being played by Thewlis's
good friend, Gary Oldman.
"He actually came around the next morning, because we lived near each
other at the time, and he said, 'Have you seen the new book? We've got a
lot of work to do, mate.' He was quite happy, and I didn't know how to
break it to him. So I said, 'Have you actually read it yet, Gaz?' 'No,
just flicked through it.' A few days later I'm in makeup and he comes in
and sits down and goes, 'Have you heard the news?' 'What's that, Gaz?'
'It's terrible *beep* news' 'What is it?' 'You know how everyone is
talking about who dies in book five? It's *beep* me! This woman puts the
poor bastard in prison for 12 years, brings him back for a few scenes,
and then she kills him!'"

I believe we mentioned that here as well. As proof it wouldn't be
him.
