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.

Well, I don't care too much about that character, since until now he hasn't done anything at all!... Maybe he'll actually DO something in the next book.... Until then, I'd rather hear them talking about replacing Michael Gambon!!!!!!!

I thought the only part Aberforth Dumbledore had in OOTP was in the Photo Mad-Eye showed Harry of the originial Order. I never knew he was the barman and I'm sure it never said that in the book >.<

Am I the only person who has never heard of this guy? Oh well I'm sure he will do good, they usually pick people good for HP. I hope this gets confirmed soon!

cool, does this mean the Hogs Head might be in the film after all? or perhaps we see him at the Headquarters of the Order.

I wouldn't have imagined they would have bothered with him, although I suppose since they have to have the scene of the organization meeting for the DA I suppose it makes sense to go ahead and include him. Will have to wait for something more official though.

In OOTP It's not the bartenter that over hears the conversation but the "old witch" who turns out to be mungdungous. DD's brother isn't in the book...isn't he dead already???
