Posted by Minerva Feb 17th 2008

I'm glad Greyback didn't get cut. I hope this actor does justice to the role.


Posted by phphackr Feb 17th 2008

They finally announced Greyback (^-^)


Posted by oXbeccaXo Feb 17th 2008

Well WB didn't announce him. But The Snitch found out. I really want to know who's playing Alecto Carrow!


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Feb 17th 2008

uuuu 4!! im on a roll todayy fernir is kinda cute


Posted by rooon Feb 17th 2008

Wow... he looks good! : )


Posted by Mariami Feb 17th 2008

Wow, I wasn't expecting more casting news for this movie! I'm glad they're keeping them, since they play a bigger role in book 7. I wonder if this was the last casting news for Half Blood Prince. I was really hoping for the Gaunts to be in it.


Posted by randomchat Feb 17th 2008

I was expecting something a bit older and gruffier, but oh well I've given up debating movie accuracy.


Posted by peroxwhy_gen Feb 17th 2008

Yes, they didn't cut Fenrir! Wh00t! Never been so happy to hear movie news.


Posted by manchesterutd Feb 17th 2008

awesome! hopefully this isnt the last of the casting announcements!


Posted by manchesterutd Feb 17th 2008

are going to get an alecto carrow though?


Posted by honeydukes0209 Feb 17th 2008

Yes!! They're great additions to the cast! I'm so glad Fenrir wasn't cut!


Posted by narcibellhermina Feb 17th 2008

YAY! 14 :D I was thinking they would find some way to cut Fenrir out. But yay, he's in! So are Amycus Carrow, I really hope they cast an Alecto too :D


Posted by emcrocks Feb 17th 2008

SWEET!! I hope that this peeps do a great job! I can't wait to see how Greyback turns out!!! I hope it is freakish yet exciting!!!! I also hope that Alecto gets cast!


Posted by rob1007 Feb 17th 2008

cool! im glad they werent cut! wheres mugglecast?


Posted by kooldude10694 Feb 17th 2008

OOOO! I hope they're good. Good thing they weren't cut from the screenplay. And I hope MuggleCast is released tomorrow. Although I'm mad because my iPod won't turn on since yesterday evening. I don't know why.


Posted by MUHAHAHA Feb 17th 2008

i am soo glad that they left him in, along with Amycus, with the same logis, are they gonna cast Alecto?


Posted by member_of_SPEW Feb 17th 2008

great! :)


Posted by sugarzero Feb 17th 2008

i thought he was going to be a lot older too! although i won't deny this guy is pretty darn hot lol


Posted by hpintwense06 Feb 17th 2008

awesome. it's great to see some more people being cast.


Posted by luna_love_good_22 Feb 17th 2008

AWESOME! but wait... wheres mugglecast?!


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Feb 17th 2008

Yay! It's about time they cased someone. I was getting nervous they wouldn't.


Posted by mrsfredw Feb 17th 2008

oooo...thats exciting, im so glad to see more of the cast!


Posted by rob1007 Feb 17th 2008

this isnt funny! wheres mugglecast???


Posted by performingmonkey Feb 17th 2008

Cool. I hope they make Greyback actually frightening. They shouldn't care about upsetting little kids anymore! Voldemort could be a lot scarier if they tried. Ralph Ineson has to have one of the most well-known voices on British television. He's been in loads of things but probably best known for appearing in around 3 or 4 scenes of The Office!


Posted by justmione Feb 17th 2008

OMG that picture looks just like my old choir Teacher (he is a broadway actor and loves HP)


Posted by HogwartsGirl1234 Feb 17th 2008

great choices! but Amycus looks a bit too nice. I picture him as being really stupid looking, not comical.


Posted by RoseMclane Feb 17th 2008

I am sooo happy that he wasn't cut. I cant wait to see his makeup and what they do to him. *does the happy dance*


Posted by ambulance Feb 17th 2008

We get Greyback but no more WEASLEYS?!


Posted by The_Elder_Wand Feb 18th 2008

I think Dave will be a great Greyback! He can easy get that scary, a bit disgusting look.. =P


Posted by Erfa Feb 18th 2008

That's strange... why include Greyback if they skip Bill? That doesn't really make sense... Well, I hope they have some clue at what they are doing.


Posted by lilbecky8 Feb 18th 2008

morning peoples!!!!


Posted by HPfanx14 Feb 18th 2008

becky becky! hello hello =] =]


Posted by HPfanx14 Feb 18th 2008

ugh i cant stay i g2g byee


Posted by starlette804 Feb 18th 2008

cool cool, i think the fenrir greyback actor will look the part as long as they put costume makeup on him (fur, etc.). i always imagined amycus carrow as a bit larger, but i think he'll work as well....


Posted by lilbecky8 Feb 18th 2008

bye kayla!! sorry i missed you!!! :-(


Posted by tiassa Feb 18th 2008

Im sorry I missed you too!


Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Feb 18th 2008

Yay! Finally there is more news popping up now! It was just so dull during the dry spell! Now there is a new movie and casting announcements are sooo exciting! = D ~Myrtle~


Posted by IrishCat Feb 18th 2008

On IMdb it says in Dave Legeno's bio that he is "A former bouncer, debt collector and wrestler, he is now a Cage fighter when not acting." Sounds and looks like a good pick for Greyback. Not sure about Ralph Ineson as Amycus - Not familiar with his previous work but he is said to be 6'3" ...


Posted by filops Feb 18th 2008

The movie comes out in seven months, and they're still casting? Seems odd.


Posted by heirtogreat1 Feb 18th 2008

NIIIIICE..........


Posted by xred_goldx Feb 18th 2008

wow he looks good. hope he is good. he does look scary. lol. cool!


Posted by REMiiSAHMAZiNGx4 Feb 18th 2008

Hey hey cheesecakes anyone home??


Posted by hpninjaskills Feb 18th 2008

Oh gosh they are PERFECT! Absolutely loveee.


Posted by hpwiz812 Feb 18th 2008

for some reason I always saw Daniel Day-Lewis playing Greyback.... i dont know why, but thats how i imagined him....but the guy they picked looks pretty good!


Posted by GrammyC Feb 18th 2008

I agree that this guy's way too cute! I personally pictured Bill Nighy as Fenrir. Maybe they'll CGI the face like they did for Voldemort and he'll be unrecognizable anyway! I really am bummed about no Bill & Fleur. Since the wedding is important in book 7, they should at least "mention" it. Don't you think?


Posted by icegrlz Feb 18th 2008

Agree - Fenrir's to young. Was hoping for someone older like Tim Dalton to take the role.


Posted by Kareen Feb 18th 2008

OOOOOO he's gonna be good as Fenrir! He has the face for a werewolf!
