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.)

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.

Ok...I've been checking up on this post almost everyday for pictures and every single time I get on here I see someone posting about how they can't wait for James to be cast or how they hope Dan will double for James as well as Harry...I'm really not trying to be mean, but it gets obnoxious seeing this all the time...so...for everyone's peace of mind...James Potter will be played by Robbie Jarvis. He's a very hot, good-looking actor who is definitely NOT Dan Radcliffe. There ya go, sorry if I sounded mean...not my intention.

I feel sorry for the poor lady who got pregnant and couldn't be apart of the Harry Potter legacy. Congrats to everybody else who gets to be in the movie.

Oh no...it's Marla Singer. Fight Club is a great movie. If you are 18, you should definitely watch it to get a chance to see what kind of actor Helena Bonham Carter is.

I'm glad McCrory is out. Why did she even agree to it in the first place if she already knew she was pregnant? But at least the got a good actress for the part now.

Oh My LORDY!!!
I've been away fro a week and look at this!
From the moment I read OOTP I told everyone within earshot that Helena Bonham Carter would be the PERFECT Bellatrix! "dark hair, heavy lidded, once beautiful."
I can't believe it! What a casting dream!

I think I am the only one who realizes that after book #7 it's all over. We will have no other stories of the vast world of Harry Potter. We must talk Mrs. Rowling into writing more books.

I liked the idea of McCrory playing Bellatrix better, she just had that look. Anyway, Bonham Carter is a good choice too, I guess.

I wish they had a picture next to each of the names. It would make it a lot easier than searching the name on google.

If the picture of that guy is actually who is playing Sirius, then I think Robbie Jarvis and James Walters ought to switch roles...

Did anyone see Helena B-Carter play Hamlet? She played a woman who loses her mind, and it was the most frightening, haunting performance of all the actors. She is the most PERFECT Bellatrix I could have wiashed for!

Yay! I'm gladd they're putting the Marauders in the movie. I was a little afraid they would cut that part. I can't wait to see a picture of the group! Helena looks like she'll be a good Bellatrix.
