Actor Jim McManus
will portray the bit part of Albus Dumbledore's brother Aberforth in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, according to The Leaky Cauldron.
The unnamed bartender at the Hog's Head in Phoenix (who we later learn is Aberforth) witnesses the inaugural meeting of the student-led Dumbledore's Army there.

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!

WOW that lets us in on some pretty importnant info i reckon. WHy would they announce the character name if it wasn't important. They could've just said the barman. But then again its not an official announcement.

TLC is a fairly consistent site, isn't it? So I expect it will turn out to be true. Now all I need is some info on this guy.

i brake for thestrals says:
Hahaha all I can find is info about a Jim McManus of the World Series Poker Tour.. it can't be the same one haha..
CMON WB show us some official pictures!! We're all going out of our minds waiting!!
but as a side note, I think its really good that theyre including Aberforth.. as many have mentioned, this could be foreshadowing of his role in the last book? maybe? no but continuity is good so I hope this guy sticks around and he's at the funeral in HBP..
If this is just a rumour then disregard all of this haha..
