It�s time for a return to Harry Potter casting announcements. With the fifth film on the way the Potter faithful are out and in force waiting for news on the fifth film's continued development. Filming starts soon, and they're still adding to the cast. The latest addition is actor George Harris, who has been brought on board to play Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Shackelbolt's name is rather appropriate, since he works for the Ministry of Magic as a Dark Wizard catcher. I wonder what sort of net you use for that?

George Harris should not be confused with the heavily browned George Hamilton, whose casting in a Harry Potter film would officially signal the coming of the Apocalypse; or maybe Harry's growing power to conjour up bad tans. George Harris is a great character actor with a successful career spanning decades. He�s had notable roles in movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and more recently The Interpreter.

We Americans are used to being scooped by the Brits when it comes to Harry Potter casting news, but this one adds insult to injury since the story comes from CBBC, which I assume from their website is some sort of online publication for kids. We�ve been beaten by a news resource with an "Animals" section. Covering the latest in late-breaking Giraffe news. What�s next? Big Spider-Man scoop from MonkeyNews.com?
