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.

I'm so excited! I was very worried when there were rumors that Gary Oldman wasn't going to be in the fifth movie because I think he did a wonderful job in the third. But now, all that worry is gone! He and David Thewlis (a wonderful Lupin!) are coming back! Yay!

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.

Thank god for that, i was worried when it was said that Gary Oldman hadn't been signed, but it now seems that he has, i don't like it when they change the actors. I really like both actors.

I am glad to hear this. Both Gary Oldman and David Thewlis did wonderful jobs with the previous movie(s).
I hope we see more of Gary Oldman than a face in the fire (or a dog) in Movie 5.

I am soooo glad that they have the old crew back. I dont know what I would do if they changed the actors. Now all we have to do is wait for the movie to come out.

Thhank heavens!
I couldn't imagine it without them.
Although Thewlis still isn't what I picture when I think of Lupin, he embodies the spirit of the character very well.

Im really glad that gary oldman will be back in this movie. i was starting to get worried about all this other news that he wasnt but its great to have him back. im also glad that david thewlis will be in it too. its always good to have the cast return. i was wondering why they had to wait till summer to film but i realised that they are mostly in the begining and the end so they dont have to be there the whole time. hopefully now that all the parts are basically officalized and they started to film we will be getting some pictures.
