More Harry Potter 5 Casting
Source: CBBC Newsround February 13, 2006

CBBC Newsround reports that more of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix cast members have been revealed.

According to the site, Amelia Bones, the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Office, will be played by Sian Thomas.

The Dursleys will definitely be back in the fifth film, after their absence from "Goblet of Fire".

Also, Jason Boyd will play Piers Polkiss, Richard Macklin is Malcolm, Charles Hughes is Young Wormtail, Susie Shinner is Young Lily Potter, Auror Dawlish is Richard Leaf and Nick Shim has been cast as Zacharias Smith.

Gary Oldman is currently in talks to return as Sirius Black.

Unless, of course, they've got it backwards, Auror Dawlish sounds more like one of J. K. Rowlings imaginings than Richard Leaf does.

Gary Oldman was on tv the other night. It was either ET or Access Hollywood (one of those programs). Anyway, he was talking about Harry Potter and how his agent had been forced to look for other employment because the studio had yet to approach him. Gave the impression it was a no-go. I suppose though that if you wanted to force the studio's hand, that would be the way to do it.
