Tony Maudsley
has been cast for the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film, according to The Leaky Cauldron. Representatives for the actor have confirmed that he will be portraying the character Grawp, Hagrid's half-brother, the site reported today.
Mr. Maudsley has had several roles in television and film, most notably in Vanity Fair (with Reese Witherspoon) and Sleepy Hollow (with Johnny Depp).
[Editor's Note: Previous reports have led us to believe that the giant would be completely computer-generated -- producer David Heyman first said so during the Goblet of Fire world premiere and he supported this claim during at the Empire Awards. Thus, it's likely Mr. Maudsley may be the voice (or movement) actor for the character.]

Yeah i thought Grawp would be completely computer generated...well i suppose someone still has to provide the voice...well, i guess that means they haven't filmed any of the grawp scenes yet...well maybe they did the green screen stuff and used computers to design him...maybe they don't have a voice yet...but he doesn't have much to say though...just like "hermy, where hagrid?"

That's cool...but I had really hoped that Grawp would be completely computer-generated. Oh well, maybe he still will be.

That surprises me, I assumed that they would use CGI for Grawp, unless he's just going to do the voice...
Oh well, I prefer to have a real person portraying Grawp, it will feel realer.

I think the fact that Grawp is in the movie, even though he is a side plot in the books so far, is very important. It means he probably has a good reason for entering the story. Of course, it could just be that he'll be an exterior character, able to pose as the "secret weapon" in the campaign for the destruction of umbridge, and little more. As always, we'll have to wait and see.

That sound good, I think he looks great for the part. Even if they do a computer genterated image I think it will turn out just fine.

Wow, it's nice to know that they're keeping even the littlest of things. In GoF they barely stayed to the subplot, now they're keeping the story alive, I get the feeling I'm going to love this one the most.

Yes! I would have been so mad if they cut Grawp out of the movie! He seems like a good enough actor for the part. I just love Grawp! I hope he does well in the movie. I can't wait!
