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.

Yay. I'm so glad to see them return. Of course Sirius has to come back but sadly he dies. In the future i hope they always get the same cast because it would be really weird if they replaced characters. The Dumbledore change still hasn't really settled with me but i just hope they don't replace anyone else especially Draco. ^_^

oh I love them! I was so afraid the rumors were true that they weren't coming back. I mean, I can't even read the books now and picture anyone different as Lupin and Sirius!

Glad to see that they are not making any actor changes for the key roles. Hopefully all of the actors that have been used in key roles continue doing the movies until the end; i.e. Harry, Ron, Hermione, etc stay the same actors.

I'v enever heard that. That would be crazy since Sirius is the bait Voldemort used to get to his final goal

Awesome. Gary Oldman and David Thewlis were excellent in PoA. Are all the original actors for the staff members (except Richard Harris)coming back?

You can't go wrong with actors like David Thewlis and Gary Oldman. I'm so glad that they are coming back to reprize their roles.
