Negotiations?

[nemi]

I was looking at the cast of Order of the Phoenix on IMDB, and it gives this list:

Credited cast:
Robbie Coltrane .... Rubeus Hagrid
Warwick Davis .... Filius Flitwick
Alfred Enoch .... Dean Thomas
Tom Felton .... Draco Malfoy
Ralph Fiennes .... Lord Voldemort
Rupert Grint .... Ron Weasley
George Harris .... Kingsley Shacklebolt (attached)
Kathryn Hunter .... Arabella Figg (rumored)
Jason Isaacs .... Lucius Malfoy
Richard Leaf .... Dawlish
Katie Leung .... Cho Chang
Matthew Lewis .... Neville Longbottom
Evanna Lynch .... Luna Lovegood (attached)
Helen McCrory .... Bellatrix Lestrange (attached)
Gary Oldman .... Sirius Black
James Phelps .... Fred Weasley
Oliver Phelps .... George Weasley
Daniel Radcliffe .... Harry Potter
Alan Rickman .... Severus Snape
Maggie Smith .... Minerva McGonagall (in negotiations)
Imelda Staunton .... Dolores Umbridge
Natalia Tena .... Nymphadora Tonks
Emma Watson .... Hermione Granger
Jamie Waylett .... Vincent Crabbe
Bonnie Wright .... Ginny Weasley

Negotiations?! OotP is one of my favourite films. If Maggie's not in it I will go berserk.

Anyone heard anything else about this?

[Apocalypticat]

Excuse me whilst I echo you less politely. *Wails* First Dumbles and now Minerva!

Though I don't think 'in negotiations' means she's being dropped. They're probably just discussing fine details and corporate thingamijigs... Yeah. I know what I'm talking about!

[Alesia]

Well they don't have Aberforth Dumbledore listed and according to Mugglenet he has been cast. Also there is no Albus Dumbledore listed which is curious, could they write him out of OotP? I haven't seen anything on Mugglenet or Leaky about Maggie Smith not being Minerva so I wouldn't worry yet. IMDB isn't always the most up to date.

Yeah that would work, cutting one of the main characters in the book out the film completely!!haha I think its juat all the contracts and such that are being sorted with Maggie, I know she's expressed joy at playing this character and I can't see them ditching her...unless they decide to attempt wrighting MM out the movies in which case i shall boycot them! I think we can safely say that Maggie shall live to film another Harry potter movie.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday when I was searching IMDB for Maggie in "Tea With Mussolini". I wouldn't worry yet. Like Alesia said, they're not too fast on their updates. They couldn't possibly leave Dumbledore out of the movie, and he's not even listed yet.

[beMMADfabulous]

It now says Maggie is attached for Minerva McGonagall on imdb.com!

[JKMcGonagall]

Okay, so what does that mean...she's attatched...I saw that too, but didn't know what it meant. There seem to be quite a few who are attatched.

I think that means... uh... lol She's got a contract for this film?

[mcgonagallrocks]

She better have a contract. Once you start replacing people the movies go down hill. I hope Maggie is back for OoTP.

I agree!!!

[Rikki]

I'm sure she will. Would be kind of stupid... and the job doesn't seem too disagreable anyway.

Btw, Helen Mc whateveritwas is out, and Helena Bonham Carter is in instead.

Yep. lol I'm so happy.

[EloquentPhoenix]

Panicked for a second there, she's one of the few reasons I still watch the films.

[professortabby]

Thank goodness...

God, people, tell me WHO would play a caracter after Maggie. People dislike Gambon, but Richard harris achtually died. Who would take a caracter, when Maggie is alife, could as well put a stop to her cariar.
