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.

Oh, I feel so much better. I just knew that they both had to be in it, for it to work for me! I wonder why Gary Oldman's manager didn't know about it? Thank Goodness!! I just am so happy, I think that Gary's "Sirius" and David's "Remus" are very important to Daniel's "Harry". Thanks HPANA for putting my mind at ease. :-D

Thank goodness. I couldn't really believe that other report without confirmation from a reliable source.
Luckily everything seems to be going according to the right plan now.

Oh my god that is such a relief! I mean how can you have another actor playing those roles when David and Gary play them so well?!?

I am so happy that both Gary and David are going to be back in OotP. Since they are probably my two favorite characters, that makes me completely estatic. So if they are in there it must mean that a lot of the Orders scenes are going to be there too!

YES! YES! YES! I was actually so dissapointed that in GoF we saw just a face of Sirius and in my point of view he had a very important part there.

I am so happy that Oldman and Thewlis are confirmed....I think they were just trying to scare us with those awful rumors of them not returning. I can't wait to see Lupin and Sirius back!

Fantastic! It is so important for a film series to maintain the same actors throughout. To change actors from film to film totally ruins the whole flow of the series.

Yes! Gary Oldman! Yes! Well, that should say enough. I am very glad to hear that Oldman is going to be on Order of the Phoenix! I have nothing to say about the other guy though.... David Thewlis isn't anything like my image of Lupin. Well, that's good that he's back as it would have been more stupid if the actors had changed.

Yeah! I'm so glad to know that both Oldman and Thewlis are on board! They did such an awesome job in the third film...I would have liked to have seen more of Oldman in GoF, but, I understand that it was a loooooonnnnnnnggggg book and they were trying to cut all sorts of things to make it work.
Speaking of looooonnnnnggggg books, I wonder what they'll cut from OotP? You know they can't put all of that in a single movie without some major losses.

I suppose lots of people will be glad they're both going to be in film 5, but I am not. I don't think Thewlis portrays Lupin well at all, there is something I don't like. And Sirius should be much better looking, although now he won't be as raggy as he was in the third film, so there migth be hope.
Still, my comment is..meh!

I just skimmed through this thread and I'm so relieved everyone is behaving (after seeing threads on other sites talking about sending letter bombs among other things). I've been dying to get this out, and I can't wait any longer. I believe HPANA over most places on the internet (of course that means I believe TLC and all the places HPANA believes to be credible) because JKR has trusted them for so long now herself and after following the site for so long and never having read anything claiming to be fact that turned out to be false.
Even still, I almost wonder if most people aren't better off not looking on the internet for small details like the cast list before it's finalized and released in its entirety, because it's causing so much trouble and stress for probably nothing (due to a little thing called miscommunication).
