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.)

That's just brilliant! Helena Bonham Carter is a perfect Bellatrix, she can have that crazy evilness about her that suits the character so well!
And after googling a few of the others (didn't find pics on all of them), I am truly looking forward to the Centaur-scenes ;)

Helena Bonham-Carter was Darla in Fight Club. That is going to be real strange...seeing her in an HP movie. She is a good fit though...pretty creepy lady.

Did I say Darla? I meant Marla...Marla Singer if I'm not mistaken. One of the strangest movie characters ever. I sincerely hope Helena does not relive that role in Bellatrix.

More Great !!news!!
I am so glad to see Helena Bonham Carter in this roll,I love her acting ,she is a fantastic actress!!!!
She will make a terrific Bellatrix!!
She is Tim Burton's wife::Does this mean we might be closer to Tim Burton directing an HP movie??
I might like that but I am not totally sure.
The other casting::That is great to hear even though I know little to nothing about those actors.
[Does anyone know??]
Looks like they are putting as much from the book as possible into the movie ,Great!!
Also,sounds like the time is drawing near to film the scenes from Snape's memory and GP.
Goooooood!!:oD

Good that's what I like to hear, actors being cast things getting done. I can't wait for some pictures. The one pic they think might be Alec Hopkins could be young Severus with some long greasy hair.

I can't wait to see the pictures so I can get an idea of what to expect. I probably will still stick with the characters I have in my mind though while reading the books.

Oh that's awesome, I can't wait to see pictures. A few I found on google, but I want to see the casting pics. A few of them I've heard of, and I think they're great choices.
