How could they not include the Dursleys?!?!?!? Woot woot, they're in!
Nick Shim? Website devoted to him? Petition? What the...?
Sian Thomas looks good for Amelia Bones, though I imagined her to be bigger.
What about SIRIUS?

Sweet. Glad to hear the updates. Casting in these films has always been great so I am sure they will continue on that path. Glad to see the Dursleys made the cut. I still think it was awful they were not given more focus in GOF because I think there is some important stuff that was missing. Alas. What can be done?

I think that the dursley addition to the movies again is really great.. they need to be in the whole entire introduction. They have important roles in the books. they need to be in the movies as well. it is another great recovery for the harry potter crew. Now the only one that we are waiting for is gary oldman. he needs to come back. I hope his manager agrees with the terms of the harry potter crew.

I can't wait to know what the young, Lupin and Sirius will look like! I bet that they won't look anything like we imagined. My opinion is that most of the casting for the film was rubbish...And I can't belive that we are still waiting to find out if Sirius will be in it or not....How can he not be?

Well, I can't imagine this film without the Dursley's. They play an integral part in this story and the dementors in Little Whinging.

I hope they don't tone down Nick Shim's role as Zacharias Smith -- the character's a good antagonist, the kind you love to hate. ;}

Wow this is so exciting! Looks like they're putting a TON of the new characters in! I was so worried they'd cut a lot of them out.

Exciting!! I'm amazed that they're keeping all these characters in, even though they might not be "essential to the plot." Can't wait to see some pictures of them all!
