Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I'm confused about the whole Sirius/Gary Oldman situation, is he playing Sirius or not? He better be, I don't want them to change the casting now. *growls*

David Thewlis is going to be Remus again, isn't he?

Oldman Axed from Harry Potter Film?

Actor Gary Oldman looks unlikely to reprise his role as Sirius Black in the next Harry Potter offering, after reports he has been mysteriously axed from the wizard franchise. Oldman, who has appeared in the last two movies adapted from JK Rowling's popular children's books, has yet to be signed for a third term - even though filming for Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix has already begun. The actor's manager, Douglas Urbanski, tells British newspaper The Sun, "You will be shocked to learn there are no plans for Gary to appear in the film. To say we are puzzled is an understatement at the very least! We are left with no choice but to pursue other employment for him." Vanessa Davis, spokeswoman for production company Warner Brothers, confirms no deal has been reached, but insists there is still time to resolve the confusion. She says, "With any film the priority is confirming the cast who will be on the set from the outset."

I thought Gary Oldman did a great job. He was one of the major reasons I loved the 3rd movie so much. I'll be sad if he's not returning to the cast.

Spoiler:
then how is he supposed to die?

I think the girl who will play Luna looks really good! And its nice thats she's a big fan already, I remember hearing that even after filming the second film Daniel Radcliffe hadn't read the books - but he did for the third. I'm so jealous! =P XD

New news on the actor playing Sirius,

LOS ANGELES (KP International) The buzz surrounding whether or not British actor Gary Oldman would reprise his role of Sirius Black in the next "Harry Potter" movie has been silenced - Oldman's back.

Producer David Heyman sets the record straight: "We're not shooting his part for quite a while, and as is always the case, you begin with the parts that are most pressing," he said. "We have every intention of having Gary Oldman play Sirius Black.

Rumours that Oldman would not be reprising his role as Harry Potter's godfather were sparked when principal photography for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" began February 6 before negotiations with the actor had begun.

The David Yates-directed instalment is expected to hit theatres in the summer of 2007.

I knew they wouldn't change the actor. That's stupid.

Helen McCrory looks absolutely nothing like me!

Evanna Lynch has got to be the biggest Harry Potter fan in her county of Ireland!

Steve Kloves isn't doing the script!

Oh, I'm totally seeing this one.
