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.]

Thank God I thought he would never be cast and they would just leave him out of the film!! I'm sure they picked a good choice and hopefully he will do well in the film! Bye!!

Tony certainly looks like he could pull this part off. His face is almost exactly as how I pictured Grawp in my head...

Yep. He definitely sounds like somebody who'd be right for the role. Can't wait to see the first trailer for Order of the Phoenix. I'll wait months if I have to... and that's exactly how long I have to wait. But good choice for Grawp though!

I hope he has a suitable and deep voice in order to portray Grawp to the highest possible standard.

Interesting, I was kind of under the impression too that he would most likely have to be a cgi character when I read the books but it should be interesting to see a person play the role whether he is in cotum or is like Andy Circus was for Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies.
