Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is casting and Goblet of Fire isn’t even released yet. Well… that does show they’re staying one step ahead of the game and have their crap together… which is a good sign.
The usual cast of characters will be back (yes that’s a spoiler… Harry Potter doesn’t die in Goblet of Fire). Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are all set to return for the next installment, as is Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort.
The good folks over at Cinema Blend are reporting that a key casting decision has been made for the next one. Here’s what they had to say:
British actress Imelda Staunton announced on TV show This Morning that she has been cast as the malicious Ministry of Magic employee and new Defence Against Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge in the fifth installment of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Having not read the Order of the Phoenix I have no opinion if this is a good or a bad casting call… but Staunton is a talented lady… and you never go wrong when you cast talent.
