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.)

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.

I'm so much looking forward to the next film! Seems like so long, before it comes out! Over a year! I hope, and believe, the new actors will do well :)

Well, this isn't bad news, I like Helena Bonham Carter, but I still wish it could have been Thandie Newton to play Bella. Bella is another one of those character's that I love to hate, but she is a fav, even if she did kill off my boy! ;)

Whoooo! I'm glad they have more roles filled...that means that the movie is that much closer to being finished! I will have to go and look at pictures of most of the people they listed, though, because I don't really know any of them, except for Helena, whom they've already shown a picture of!

Wow. I didn't picture her to be the part, but maybe she'll prove me wrong. After all I don't do the casting. For some reason or another I thought that at one point in time I heard/read that Elizabeth Hurley would play Bellatrix. Am I crazy or did any of you hear the same thing?

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't have Dan as James. It would make sense, wouldn't it? I mean Harry is supposed to look just like his dad so I would have thought it'd to be good sense to have Dan play James and Harry. None of the other actors (male) look enough like our movie image of Harry....

I don't see her as Umbridge, she just seems too nice! I hope she can play the role! Too bad the other actress is pregnant!

Hmmm, I have never heard of them before, but they must be good actors to be on the Harry Potter shows. I can't wait to see them.

Well this all looks terribly exciting and i just cant wait for the movie to come out now. I hope that the people they cast look the part and i hope that Sirius is hot like i imagined him. I have also wondered about the clothes, hogwarts in the 70's its an interesting thought.

I am so curious on how they will look... Maybe they will use Harry's Double as young James (HAHA).... because of course they always say that he looks a lot like his father did. Im just excited to see the new movie. I dont think they will give us photos of the young James and crew because they will want to leave us in suspense. Non-the-less it is all very exciting.

Makes me hate my name even more. Now I thought that they would cast someone with a different name. But nooo... it's a similar name. Helena...ugh...Helen...bleh. I just hope she's a good actress.
