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 wonder if he'll play a big role in book 7... I wonder what it is.
But hopefully we'll get to find out sometime in 2007! (crosses fingers)

Aberforth...in Order of the Pheonix...huh? I guess if the HPANA said so then it's got to be true right. I don't really know much about him, but I'm looking forward to seeing him.

I am still curious about Aberforth... we don't know too much about him yet... Very curious character if you ask me... I am surprised any kin to Dumbledore would be running a "shady" joint like the Hogs Head... BUT... I guess they need to have people honorable enough to handle it.

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've been on here cause I had no clue that it confirmed that the Hog's Head bartender is Aberforth. I always thought that it was. I look forward to seeing him in the movie.

That is very cool. I'm glad that they still have his character (it means that he might play a crucial role in Book 7. Well... that was kind of obvious, but this clarifies that more so). I can't wait to see what he looks like in makeup

Oh what another great casting choice. I've seen a few of his works. I wish the site they listed had a submitted pic of him. I did a search and found some though, great choice.

Well, it is good to know that the movie is staying true enough to the book to put Aberforth into the movie. Maybe this means that JK knows he is important enough that they will need him in movies 6 and 7...hmmm

Why is this here?
I see no reason why this topic deserves anyone's consideration. This is an extremely minor part in the fifth movie that you shouldn't care this much about, people...I mean, honestly, 372 congratulatory posts?

I'm hopeful that they don't make the resemblance between these two actors TOO close. I mean, Harry doesn't see it, so that means we should see it, either.

I am DYING to see Dumbledore's brother portrayed on the big screen! I've always been fascinated by his strange apperances in the books, and i think in D.H. he will bring something substantial to the table. (finally)

Very cool, I can't wait to see him in this role. I feel like Aberforth plays a bigger role, an interesting one in Book 7--I hope.
