James Walters is to be Young Sirius Black, James Utechen will play a Young Remus Lupin and Alec Hopkins will portray Young Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it was reported
today by CBBC Newsround.
The trio of "Young Marauders" will provide a glimpse into Harry's parent's generation in the film, in which they portray several of the main adult characters while they were still at Hogwarts themselves.
In a major casting change, Helena Bonham Carter will replace Helen McCrory as deatheater Bellatrix Lestrange, as McCrory now expects to be "heavily pregnant" during what would have been her filming. (Carter was last seen as Charlie's mom in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She also voiced a character in Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit opposite Ralph Fiennes.)
Care of Magical Creatures Professor Grubbly-Plank will be portrayed by 25-year stage veteran Apple Brook. Finally, Jason Piper will play Bane the Centaur.
Pictures of the new trio will be posted as soon as we get them! (They are all relative unknowns, but HPANA has confirmed that Alec Hopkins is the teen in this photo, from a Newbury Theatre production in 2003. Here's a group photo.)

Well Carter probably wouldn't have been my first choice to cast as Bellatrix. But the rest of the young Marauders apper to be a good choice.

Helena Bonham Carter will be a absolute awesome Bellatrix!! I loved her in "Fight Club"! I have never seen her play an evil character, but I know she will be perfect, and she will be great with Gary Oldman!!

Cool, they all seem good, can't wait to see photos of them. Helena Bonham Carter is ok I guess, but I always was sure that she is older than that. She is supposed to be older than Sirius and all the others so I think she is slightly miscast. She probably would have been better as Tonks.
