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 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.

“Why would he need CGI? He’s not transformed in HBP, so they will only need to give him the right make-up.”
That’s what I thought.
Is it definite that there are no Gaunts in this, or is that still officially a rumor? Because if they just cast Fenrir, they could still be casting the Gaunts…really wants to see the Gaunts
I hope there is no CGI. It wasn’t a full moon, when Greyback was in that scene. Bill was only scarred for life rather than turned into a werewolf. As for age, makeup can do wonders. But as for size. I love Bill Nighy, but how he look tough enough to look like a mean werewolf who doesn’t use the full moon to fight.
Hey where is my comment saying he was hot. How rude.
I knew we hadn’t seen all of the cast. I hope more names/characters are released but If Bill Nighy is going to be in it then they should keep it as a surprise.
I was hoping for Bob Hoskins in the Amycus Carrow role!
I guess all these big names we’re hoping for couldn’t fit it into their schedule or just cost too much.
Fenrir will be in a new fight scene written for the film. It takes place at the burrow and the characters in it are Fenrir, Bella, Fred and George, Arthur, Harry, Ron, and Ginny. We didnt fully believe our source, because we thought Fenrir would have been cut since there was no Bill. This proves he is 100%. He gave us the Fenrir scene about 2 weeks ago now.
"Want one, Granger?" said Malfoy, holding out a badge to Hermione. "I've got loads. But don't touch my hand, now. I've just washed it, you see; I don't want a Mudblood sliming it up."
It should totally be Hugh Laurie! C’mon people! He’d be sooo great! :-p
