In a busy week for Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows casting, it has been announced that the following roles have been cast:
The role of Teenage Dumbledore has been cast for the flashback scenes involving Dumbledore's troubled past, with Toby Regbo
set to play him. Rumor has it that an actress by the name of Hebe Beardstall has been cast to play Dumbledore's sister, Ariana, although has in no way been confirmed.
Next we have the report that Chase Armitage is set to play the role of "one of four" snatchers, this confirmed directly by Mr. Armitage.
Finally, there is confirmation from the agents of Chris Rankin that he will return to reprise his role of Percy Weasley. UPDATE: Chris tells HPANA: "Tis true! Starting in the fall."
Thanks to Snitch Seeker and Leaky for the tips!

So, this means that this kid will be playing one of my favorite characters as a teen? Cool. Hope he's a good actor.

Glad that Chris gets a chance to have his character redeem himself in the last movie. I was going to be sad if that scene was not going to be included.

I am so happy to hear that Chris Rankin is back for the final film as Percy! Woot! As for Toby Regbo playing a young Dumbledore, I've never heard of him before. It will be interesting to see how he portrays him.

He is not someone I would have thought to play young Dumbledore. I assume he will be fine at it. Who are the four snatchers.

This is Brilliant...To see Chris Rankin on the screen again. He will be attending a Hogwarts School in the United States in Chicargo by a British group from England on July 22-26. I will be there to check it out. Chris will be among the students, and will partake in the events with them.

I am so happy that Chris is back! I missed Percy! And Toby Regbo kind of reminds me of Micheal Gambon, so to me he looks the part.
