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.

Wonderful!! The movie just wouldn't be the same if they had to change characters! Plus both Gary Oldman and David Thewlis fit their roles so well!

Yes! I was worried after viewing GoF that Gary Oldman might not be interested in coming back for OotP since he wasn't in GoF (not really - the embers were meant to look like him but it's not the same). So that's really awesome news!

Should have added this to my other post but i dont see an edit button so sorry for taking up more space. in this book they go to the hospital to visit mr weasly and they see lockheart and nevilles parents so i wonder if they will still have that scene and if so will they bring back the guy who played lockheart or get another person and also who will play the parents.

Yay! The whole Order is there, I think? Can't wait, but I'm dreading the moment Sirus disappears in the Veil. It's all coming together now, I just can't wait for the first sets of pictures from the set!

Yes! I was so worried that they would cut Lupin out. I don't want to jinx anything but I think that this movie will be the best because it seems they aren't skimping on the characters. I didn't expect Ms. Figg to be cast, either! Maybe we'll have a movie that will be more faithful to the books!

Thank god. The OotP IMDb boards were full of people freaking out that Liam Neeson was replacing Gary Oldman.

OH MY GOD!! what a relief, because just yesterday I was reading that gary Oldman wouldnt be back for Order of the Phoenix, and I started to wonder who else could play the part rather than him!! I mean seriously who? Its such a relief to know that the charecters that are sooo close to Harry even if they arent in Hogwarts will be played by the same old actors!! Hurray!! =)

That's great news! Always good to find out that the same people will be coming back to take another round as their characters. Sirius will finally be able to complete his role as a living person.
