OotP cast
Shit shit shit...new info on the actors/actresses cast to play the new roles in Order of the Phoenix. Shit!
Luna.
Evanna Lynch. She's 14, and attended the open casting call three weeks ago. I was surprised that they'd cast someone from the open call. I thought they'd stick with the girls they found in their school searches. I don't know what to think about her. She's super-blonde, though.
Tonks.
This, for me, was most surprising. She will be played by Natalia Tena. And she's not a name you'll recognize or anything like that. But if you've watched About A Boy (with Hugh Grant), this is the girl Marcus falls for. You know, the tall one with lots of piercings. Shit. I was so surprised. She'd make a good Tonks.
Umbridge.
Imelda Staunton. Not surprising news anymore, of course. She's been rumored to play Umbridge for months. She's perfect for the role, look-wise.
Kingsley Shacklebolt.
He's George Harris. He was in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I don't know who. I was surprised. I thought they'd cast like a white person or something... but he looks good for the part. So I have no qualms about that.
Bellatrix Black.
Thank heavens it's not Elizabeth Hurley. I'll just laugh if the rumors were true. Bellatrix will be played by Helen McCrory.
Others:
Kathryn Hunter as Mrs. Figg
Michael Wildman as Magorian, a Forbidden Forest centaur
