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.

I totally agree with you zoe hurley. Neither Black nor Lupin looked like I expected them to, but they both did so well in their roles that it would be a real shame if someone else were to play their characters. Therefore, please please please hurry up and sign the contract Gary!!

Yes! they were awesome in the other movies. I don't think Warner Bros. would lie to us about them taking their roles back but it would be nice to know Gary Oldman had sighned the contract.

Well, that's nice. They played their parts well, though I didn't think that any of them looked like what they ought to. That's good though...

It's good that they're going to be back. I don't know about everyone else, but I know that I don't usually like when they change actors throughout movies and then act like it never happened.

This is so confusing. The latest news says that Oldman hasn't yet sign any contract. I want him to be in the movie, but I wouldn't put my hope high... As for David Thewlis, I like it more and more everyday.

Well hopefully everything works out and they get those contracts signed so we can all go about our happy little lives as if there was no scare or possibily that Sirius and Lupin wouldn't be in the movie!

Glad to see the continuing continuity. I really like that aspect of the films. It makes it easier to watch without the distractions. Other than loosing Richard Harris, the films have been fortunate to keep all of the cast. That is a tribute to the producers and directors.

As I said before, if Goldman doesn't come back, thats cool. The guy who portrays Lupin, Thewlis, should continue to do so.
