I think this seems like a waste to put him in the movie.
I mean if they can put Aberforth in, they could have totally done Ludo Bagman.

Hmmmm all very intriguing, perhaps Dumby's brother will have a bigger part in the 7th book.

This is slightly off the topic, but, has anyone noticed that on mugglenet, release dates for Phoenixin countries other than the USA have been confirmed by WB?

^o^

I am thinking that this guy is quite good, although, i never heard of him! When DD dies in book 6 i think maybe his brother will play quite a big part in #7- he better be good then!
