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'm glad that they seem to be keeping the majority of the minor characters in the film!

Hmm... I don't know who that is, and whenever they put a link for the name there's never a picture on that site. Oh well I'll just have to search for him. Hopefully he's good....

I have long been speculating that Aberforth is important and this sorta proves it. I mean they could have cut him off entirely but didn't!!

Hmm, no picture on imdb, I might have to look on the BBC web site as he has done quite a few programmes for them in the 80's. I wonder if he looks anything like Gambon?

Awesome! I'm glad they're putting in Aberforth and DA because they both are important in OotP. Hopefully the DA part in HBP will be put in the HBP movie because that is one big part in the book.

It's good they're putting him in there! It's a very small part though... I wonder if he'll stay in the film? I think he should - they'll have to put the meeting in, so he might as well be there too...

wait, that sounds cool and all but I don't remember Aberforth being shown in any of the books besides at DD's funeral.... I know that he was metioned by DD but did they acually see him?

So they're actually including Aberforth in the next movie? I wonder where that'll go and if he will have a larger role in the movie than he's ever had in the books.

Hmmm... I wonder if "Aberfroth" looks like DD? I actualy didnt know Aberfroth was even in OotP. I'm exited that I get to see him before the 6th or 7th movie.

I recall hearing about Albus having a brother, but I can't remember him being the bartender at the Hogshead. Nor hearing his name either. Perhaps I should read this again.
-runs off for OTP book-

Well, the LC is usually pretty reliable, but I think I will wait to hear confirmation from the WB first. They usually put out something. I don't recognize the name, though...I'll have to look him up.
