Exclusive!

Our amazing moderator Anita has obtained a very recent on-set photo of Alan Rickman, Rupert Grint and Gary Oldmanopens in new window. Rickman is standing in back, out of costume, Grint has some sort of dirt on his chin, and Oldman has long, dark, shaggy hair!

Thanks so much to Anita and Diagon Alleyopens in new window.

Tadhgain -- I agree about Rupert's mini-mullet...he looks like he's badly in need of a trim!

I was floored by Gary Oldman - he didn't look anything like any other character I've ever seen him portray. I would not recognize him at all...he has an uncanny ability to morph into whatever character he's doing. I think he will be an amazing Sirius!

Jessejames & willow80- I agree with you. Should make the hair black and longer. Shorten the bread and no tattoos

Ooooooooooooookay. That is definitely NOT how I pictured Sirius Black--in the picture, I think he looks rather like some sort of rap star. What is up with those tattoos? And I still cannot get over how much Rupert looks like my friend.

I love how Alan Rickman looks in this. He looks... well... Sirius-like, but like Leslie said in the first comment, he doesnt look like I imagined.

Sirius-Ella: I agree with what you said that he was supposed to be a surprise, but a fan got through WB's security and the damage is done. I highly doubt that Mr. Oldman isn't at least 75% into his character -- take off the glasses and the smile he's Sirius.

Quite frankly, Gary Oldman never did appeal to me (and neither did Sirius for that matter), but... I'm getting into it :)

You know thinking of Sirius kinds of make me a little sad. I am actually just discovering fanficion in which is he very much alive and kiking.
And now I have just rudely reminded myself of what happens in book 5 by looking at this picture.

I personally think that Gary Oldman is not in costume. I mean...look at Alan Rickman. I think he's getting ready...which could explain the tattoos. Anyways...I didn't envision Sirius with such wavy hair. A bit more straighter I guess. I hink the way he looked in The Scarlet Letter would suit him more as Sirius. But hey...what ever the make-up department comes up with is fine by me. I can't tell the crew what to do. Unfortunately with movies we see the book as the director envisioned it and not always the way we envisioned it in our heads.

I'm sorry, but Sirius was my faviorate character, and I think that having him look like a hippie is an insult to his characher.

I trust and hope that this is not at all how Sirius is supposed to look and I believe that Warner Bros. has confirmed my belief on Mugglenet.com but I think we all need to expect a rather broken down state of Sirius as keep in mind that he just got out of Azkaban and I'm pretty sure that they don't give out fresh uniforms and administer haircuts there. I guess we will just have to trust the makeup and costume departments for the final product.

I don't kmow I like Gary as Sirius, quiet what I expected as Sirius. And I LOVE Alan Rickman no matter what he plays. I think this should prove to be a very good movie.

Yea, i agree with White_lilly_raven, Sirius is supposed to look a little younger and more handsome, but maybe once he shaves,(hopefully he shaves) he will look better. I am wondering who the girls are in the picture. And no offense to Rupert, but i think he needs a little hair cut. But who knows about Oldman, as far as we know, he can turn out to be the perfect Sirius Black. We'll just have to wait and see.

I really think that by the time it hits the screens he'll make a really good Sirius, he's a great intense type of actor. But who mentioned Johny Depp? I hadn't thought of that, now he really would be rather attractive in the role wouldn't he?
