Thomas Leaf Leaf is ungainly and not the cleverest of men, but he's kind and well-liked. ...the young man before mentioned, consisting chiefly of a human skeleton and a smock-frock, who was very awkward in his movements, apparently on account of having grown so very fast that before he had had time to get used to his height he was higher... "... Hee-hee-ay!" replied Leaf, letting his mouth continue to smile for some time after his mind had done smiling, so that his teeth remained in view as the most conspicuous members of his body... The role of Thomas Leaf seems perfect for the aptly named Richard Leaf who has appeared previously in several films including Braveheart, Cutthroat Island, The Messenger, Enigma, and Derailed. Leaf has been cast as Auror Dawlish in the fifth Harry Potter film, The Order of the Phoenix, scheduled to be released sometime in 2007. Leaf is married to actress Tamsin Greig; they have three children.
