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.

~*~Yes the good because if they didn't come back it wouldn't
be good because they are in the order and if Oldman wasn't in it then he wouldn't
find out that Sirius died, and if they used someone else it wouldn't be the same.~*~
~*~It was most likely they would come back though so I wasn't worried~*~

I'm surprised that I'm so relieved to hear this. I couldn't imagine these roles being recast, but I must admit that I was a bit worried.

Fantastic....I am so pleased both of them are coming back.
David is the perfect Lupin, and Gary is such a powerful actor. The final fight in the room with the veil, is going to be amazing.
Can't wait. Can't wait...

I'm so glad they've agreed to reprise their respective roles. It wouldn't have been the same with someone else playing these characters. That's the pull of Harry. So far they've managed to get all the original actors/actresses except Dumbledore of course, but that's understandable!

I knew it couldn't be true that they were cutting out Siri :) Gary Oldman had to come back. There was no doubt about it. I'm glad he is. And I'm glad David Thewlis is back as well. REMMUUUS! =D

Yes! I was waiting for that news since a lot of time! I'm really glad that they are back, because OoTP without Sirius isn't the same (prepare your kleenex...) and Lupin is a really important part either!

Finally, two of the better cast actors from film 3 come back for number five. What a relief to see that Oldman is indeed coming back to reprise his role as Sirius. (Too bad movie 5 is the last HP film we'll see him in...)
