I am very happy to see that Oldman and Thewlis are back for Order of the Phoenix. It would have been very disappointing if they had been left out or replaced. Congratulations to both of them. And I hope that they keep everyone the same in the next two movies as well.

I'm so glad that Gary and David are going to be in the OotP. Sirius plays a major roll in this movie. The movie just would not have been the same without them both. Thank You WB.

Thank goodness! Haha, like I didn't think either one would come back for OotP. Just the same, it's a bit of a relief after what Robbie Coltrain said about his coming back not being confirmed.

Wouldn't that have been a wrench, especially in Oldman's case? He has to get creamed! It would have been insane having to watch another actor do it.

YEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!! Thank god they didn't change them! I just really, really hate when they change them. Right now I'm a little worried about Robbie Coltrane. I don't know if it was a dream or real but I think I once saw something that said that he was not coming back for the fith movie. I hope it's not true. I would like him to stay as Rebeus Hagrid, although his role in the fith book isn't that big, but I still want him to come back. It would be so wierd with another Hagrid. It kind of sucks.

Yes, besides finding out who would be cast as Tonks, and making sure the trio returned in their roles, I was glad to hear this bit of news!! Gary Oldman was a fantastic Sirius Black and David Thewlis was Remus Lupin!! YEA, I'm so excited about HP & the OotP!!
