There are reports online tonight saying that actor Dave Legeno has been cast in the role of werewolf Fenrir Greyback for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We are uncertain if his part will be part CG, similar to Grawp in “Order of the Phoenix” or how this character will appear in the sixth Harry Potter film, and will update with more when we get it.

UPDATE: There is word now that actor Ralph Ineson has been cast in the part of Death Eater Amycus Carrow in “Half-Blood Prince” as well.

Update 2: According to the Snitchseeker, a few more minor background characters have been cast. Please regard all of these as rumor until confirmed by Warner Brothers.

Thanks to Jamie, Nico, and the Snitch.

hmm… not sure how I feel about this one… I bet it’ll be really CGI’d like you said… I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how they do it, to judge…

WHO? lol I was really hoping for Clive Owen!!! But I’m also qutie relieved coz this means they’re still doing casting announcements… which means the Gaunts might have been cast? Maybe?

I pictured him much older and more grizzled. I think he’s too young (born in 1964 he was only one year old when Lupin was bitten). I’m sure that he’ll be fine, the casting has been pretty spot on so far (Gambon notwithstanding).

I had pictured Michael Caine as either Fenrir or Scrimgeour.

I imagined him as the guy who played Barty Crouch Jr. I mean, he would be perfect !

Shoot. . .I was really hoping for Daniel Day-Lewis or Benicio Del Toro. Oh well, at least they’ve included Fenrir in the movie!

Well, I was hoping for Bill Nighy. He is older (born in ‘49, I think), and I mean, isn’t he one of the only British actors who has been in a BUNCH of stuff lately….including a cameo in “Hott Fuzz,” co-starring ‘Professor Slughorn’s’ Jim Broadbent…who ISN’T or HASN’T been in a Harry Potter film? Well, what do I know, I’m just a stupid Yank.

PS (for ‘Christine’)...how can “the guy who played Barty Crouch, Jr.” play another person? Just asking…

NO! Gerard Butler would PWN as Greyback! Just imagine, King Leonidas as a werewolf!

Not Bill Nighy?! Whaaa. :(

First Helen McCrory now Legeno – we’re talkin’ Teh Fail Ship!

Bill Nighy ought to be Scrimgeour.

Amycus will be played by Ralph Ineson.

Ralph is best known as Chris ‘Finchy’ Finch in BAFTA nominated “The Office”. He has starred in many television shows, commercials and films. His agents, Yaketyak have included this news onto his page. You can, see him here: http://www.yaketyyak.co.uk/boys2.asp?id=105

Hmm, a cage fighter? I don’t know anything about this guy. Is he any good?

I was hoping for Ian McShane, personally. They should go with the best.
