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.]

I'm just pleased that Grawp will have a human personality, not all computer generated.

I really hope he will do a great job, even though he will not be the actual character, as I just read that it will be computer generated.

This is so cool. It makes sense that he is going to do the voice of grawp, because no human could possible play Grawp. I mean, Grawp is like 20 feet tall, or something like that. It would be very hard for someone to be in a huge costume like that, its nearly impossible. I loved the Grawp scenes in the 5th book, they were hilarious.

That will be cool. I'm excited to see if they generate Grawp. I wonder if it will be sort of like the troll in the first movie?

I was wondering how they were going to do Grawp. I really can't wait. I love special effects and seeing what's out there next. I'm sure its going to be spectacular and brilliant.

Well they're keeping Grawp, the one part of the book I could do without. :P No, seriously, this is cool. I have no idea who he is but I trust their judgement.

I'm curious what he sounds like..I wonder if they'll use any of his facial features/expressions in the movie...his picture certainly looks enough like Hagrid that they could be half brothers.

I pictures Grwap to be younger.. but the magic of makeup..
I hope he isnt CG... even though CG has come light years, nothing beets the real thing like an actor. I hope hes the actor too!!

we definitely thought Grawp would be animated..we hope he's just the voice and the movement cause at least with computer animation you can play around a bit with size proportion and colour..oh well that's just our view..;D

Yay! Grawp is still in the film! It's funny how he just goes around pulling down trees and how he calls Hermione "Ermy"! It should be good to watch in the film!
