Coolness! You know, I've never seen him before but Dave Legeno isn't so bad looking. but I guess with a little makeup he will be a hideous and disgusting werewolf.

Who the hell is Wendy Slinkhard?
Why would they put a new and original character in the movie that was never in the book?

Dave Legeno looks like a great choice for Fenrir Greyback. He has that scary, rough look about him. I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

I have no idea who these actors are... I can't wait to see what Fenrir looks like. I think Fenrir is honestly the scariest character in HP. I think of him as this maniac looking werewolf, with gray hair all over him, big snarling teeth, yellow with a hint of red eyes, pretty scary.
This guy's pretty freaking hot, but I can picture him as Fenrir. Can't wait to see how everything looks in the movie!

Wow, Dave Legeno who is slated to play Greyback looks very dark and dangerous. Very good casting. Can't wait to see it. But, I'm still concerned about the no Fleur, no Bill move. We'll just have to wait and see.

I didn't picture Fenrir Greyback to look like Dave Legeno, and from what I can tell, Ralph Ineson looks alright for Carrow. But since this is just a rumor, who knows if they'll even be in the film.

I have to say that I was wondering who was going to play Fenrir Greyback. Dave Legeno certainly looks like he could fulfill the role by being sufficiently disturbing and intimidating!
I can't wait to receive more news about this film from Warner Brothers. They need to release some pictures soon. It's almost time that a trailer came. ;)

Great Fenrir is important in the book and should be in the movie.

I kinda like the guy for Greyback, he looks like he would want to eat some muggles. Hahhaa, as far as it all being true, who knows.

This is great, I think he'll make a good werewolf. The others are ok I guess, but I don't like the sound of an 'original' character. Why are they taking this kind of liberty with the book. But then again, so much has already been switched around for the convience of leaving parts out in the others.
Personally I'm getting disgusted with the way the films are going, but I'm addicted to the world of Hogwarts.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Well, they need to cast all of those soon, after all they're in the middle of production, so it wouldn't surprise me!

And WHERE is the casting list for the actors portraying the Gaunts?!!!
I think that Dave will be fine playing Greyback - after all, he'll be layered in tonnes of make-up and scary hair.
At least they have cast SOME of the important roles!

Dave Legeno seems too handsome to portray Greyback.
But make-up can work wonders so I am sure he will be fine.
And Ralph Ineson seems good to play Amycus.
As for the five new members that have joined the cast, they all seem good to me, but what is up with the new and original character Wendy?
Wonder how she will fit into all of this.
Well, I guess we will have to wait and see.
Am looking forward to more news in the upcoming weeks.

Sounds like they are coming along really well. Dave Legeno the actor playing Fenrir Greyback looks pretty creepy, so he should be perfect.

Meh....i dont really see Dave Legeno as Greyback, to me he should be really scruffy looking with a lot of scars and looks evil. I really hope that makeup helps.

Ooh, Dave Legeno is quite attractive - in an older-man sort of way. I kind of imagine Greyback to have been quite a good looking guy before he went all werewolf-y and weird, so that's a good call in my opinion!

Just looking at the actor's face won't help us imagine him in the movie, as his character is going to need heavy makeup like Voldemort, Hagrid, Snape, Dumbledore, and the likes.
