On a side note, there was a rumour recently that Sirius Black wouldn't be played by Gary Oldman (because he hasn't signed on yet, despite the fact that filming has begun). I read recently that Gary Oldman's publicist said he does intend on playing the role again when they get around to asking him, which won't be for a while since they don't really need him yet.
so basically all that drama amounts to nothing.

Well, I read an article that stated actors (Snape, and Molly Weasley) wouldn't be filming until April. Could it be that they have different schedules, and that he hasn't had to sign up until now? I just hope that they get on with it. I'm ITCHING for OotP to be in the theatres.

Mundungus isn't really important in OotP, so I'm not extremely upset that he wasn't cast, but I thought it was interesting because I think he will eventually play a key role in the entire series. At the end of HBP, there were some strong clues that he has the real locket.
The Dursleys are going to be in this film, but they didn't say whether they were using the same actors. I'm assuming they are. Dudley's friends, Piers and Malcolm, will be played by Jason Boyds and Richard Macklin.
I think his people were worried because he wasn't asked, but the WB folk released a statement about a week ago saying they definitely want him to return, he's just not needed yet.
Honestly, Sirius's role in the fifth book/movie is important, but he won't appear THAT much.
It's going to be fantastic seeing the young James, Lilly and Snape
