I think it's been confirmed that the wonderful Imelda Staunton will play Dolores Umbridge which is one of the reasons I'm already looking forward to the next film.

YES!!!!! For once, movie producers have heard my prayers! She is exactly who I pictured playing Umbridge.

What's with Luna looking like Draco's long-lost sister?

I think the girl would have been perfect for Luna if she were very skinny. I imagined Luna to be so skinny that her eyes would pop out in a very scary way. Wasn't it mentioned in the books that her eyes popped out so much that that was the main reason why she looked weird?

Saw this on ONTD:

From GaryOldman.info

According to Gary's manager (D.Urbanski), we don't know yet if Gary will participate in the next Harry Potter Movie..
"You will be shocked and surprised to learn that at this time there are no plans for Gary to appear in the next Harry Potter film. To say we are puzzled on this side about this is an understatement at the every least! You may feel free to post this info. If the situation changes, I will let you know.
There would be no objection from me if fans wrote letters to Warners about this!"

So is this a miscommunication? Who would they possibly recast in the role? There's no way they could write Sirius out of OotP and have a logical coherent story.

Maybe if he's in big-black-dog form the whole time?

Even in the Ministry fighting Bellatrix?

Some breeds are fightin' dogs.

I'm grasping at straws here. I know that.

Gary Oldman and David Thewlis will film their OotP roles this summer.

The studio hasn't confirmed rumors about the actress playing Lily, and she seems to be a complete unknown, but the fansites have still unearthed a photo and fans are already picking her apperance apart (too old-looking, not a redhead, the eyes look brown). HP fansites being what they are, there is much dancing around the obvious.

Phew! Thanks, lallybroch!

Yay!

I have to say, I kind of agree with all that fanwank about that girl not being right for Lily. They can dye her hair red, of course, and give her green contacts, but her face is just kind of meh. Her boobs look hyoooge in that MuggleNet picture though! I'm sure it's the angle, but I opened the window, saw enormous jugs and went, "SHE'S 17!?!?"
