Without a doubt the two most-anticipated "new" characters (at least as far as the films are concerned) for the upcoming film of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince are Narcissa Malfoy and Horace Slughorn. In the book, Professor Slughorn is described thus:
QUOTE
... an enourmously fat, bald old man ... [with] his prominent eyes, his enormous, silver walrus-like moustache. ... The top of his head barely reached Dumbledore's chin.

Acclaimed British character actor Jim Broadbent has been cast in this pivotal role as Slughorn. Obviously, and for various reasons, some changes have been made in the character's physical appearance.

Of course, the key elements of the character will be seen in Broadbent's performance. But, so far, how do you feel he measures up to YOUR interpretation of the jovial Potions Master? Is Jim Broadbent YOUR Professor Slughorn?
