Ho guys,

BBC announced major casting news for the upcoming HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. Luna Lovegood, the dreamy Ravenclaw, will be played by an unknown, Evanna Lynch, who beat out 15,000 girls. You can see a picture of here!

Nymphadora Tonks, the shape-shifting witch, will be played by Natalia Tena.

Professor Umbridge, the incredibly evil Ministry teacher, will be played by Imelda Staunton, as has been rumored before.

Bellatrix Lestrange, one of Voldemort's Death Eaters and for those who read the books, has a much more sinister role, will be played by Helen McCrory.

Finally, the role of Mrs. Figg, Harry's next door neighbor, has been given to Kathryn Hunter. Does that mean the Dursley's are back for Harry Potter 5?

looks like good casting to me.

ensign9, you're the movie man. i've almost completely quit going to darkhorizons because you are always here with the scoop. when i came to post that the bourne ultimatum was going to begin filming august 1st, you'd already posted it. when i was in london and the first picture of cho chang was released in the paper, i bet you had that shit in hand before i was even on the tube. hats off!

This series of films should win a lifetime achievement Oscar for casting. They consistently amaze me.

plus, has anyone seen who they cast for kinsley shacklebolt. He looks like a puss-ass sammy sosa. When I think of Kingsley shacklebolt, i think of a big-ass, beat your head in with a lead pipe black dude.

David Thewlis as Lupin was one of the best bits of casting the series has ever done. Great actor

Agreed. And of course Professor McGonnagal was practically written for the great dame. I've still to see Goblet of Fire; was Ralph any good as you-know-who?

So did I, but Michael Gambon has done a fine job of replacing him.

I always debate with myself who the best choices in casting have been. The entire Weasley family is perfect.

I love Lupin. I can't wait to see him again on the screen.

I personally thought Ralph Fiennes did a great job. Of course his role is rather limited in Goblet of Fire, but I think he pulled it off well.

He was amazing. Would have been oscar worthy if it wasn't such a short amount of screen time. Can't wait to see him in the next one.

Someone else mentioned that they pictured Kathy Bates as Umbridge, thats funny I always thought the same thing, but looking at this chick she looks the part also.

The best casting job in the whole series was Snape and Hagrid.

Rickman has been amazing as Snape. I also think both Lucius and Draco Malfoy are exactly how I pictured them to be.

Rickman owns any scene he's in. Perfectly cast.
