It has now been officially confirmed: Michael Gambon is to take on the role of Dumbledore following the recent death of Richard Harris, Gary Oldman will be Sirius Black and Timothy Spall will be Peter Pettigrew. David Thewliss has already been confirmed in the role of Remus Lupin.

Posted by: rocky at February 23, 2003 04:46 AMWell - we'll see how he does. I still think Mr Fry would have been better for the role though... ;o)
