Contrary to a most recent report
, Warner Bros. has just confirmed to us that Gary Oldman will be reprising his role as Sirius Black for the fifth film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Additionally, David Thewlis is also confirmed to return and reprise his role as Remus Lupin.
Both actors are expected to start filming later this summer.
UPDATE: HPANA has learned that despite this announcement, no contract has been presented to or signed with Gary Oldman. Details here.

Well, I'm glad they're both back... though it's a bit sad that second time round Sirius will get killed of again! He was great! And we saw so little of him!
A well, it's worse for Harry, poor lad.

We all knew that Oldman will be returning but I'm glad that now Thewlis will be in it because that means the scene with going to Grimualld Place will be showed but shouldn't they be filming that soon since it will be a couple scenes after the dementor scene (which they should show).

OH MY GOD, this is the best news yet. I simply loved them in PoA, they couldnt have found better actors, that is why PoA is my favorite HP film so far. Not to mention John Williams superb scoring.

That's great news, it would be really stupid to not have them reprise their roles, I always hate when that happens. Like the two Darrins...

Oh YAY! That is good, i do not want anyone else playing their roles honestly because they portray them so well!
It will be intersting to see how they are going to change Gary's look from PoA into a sort of more cleaner Sirius.

I particaularly like either of them, but I like it when they switch actors mid-way through a series even less. Alas, we are stuck with Thewlis and Oldman, but I suppose its too late to change them in my opinion.

Yay! They had to return - it would be really stupid if Gary Oldman didn't return - I mean there wouldn't be a point in going to the ministry without Sirius being in it and it wouldn't be right without Lupin in there! Yay though!! So glad!
