Chris Columbus, provided he decides to direct all the movies, has stated
that he'd like to see the original cast throughout the entire movie.
Many of the older actors have signed on for all the movies. We know that
Maggie Smith and Richard Harris have signed on for all 7 movies. It's
questionable whether Robbie Coltrane has. We think he has, but he was
none to clear regarding how movies he had to sign on for. This leads to
speculation that Hagrid might die in the books, since Coltrane and
Rickman have met with Rowling in private regarding their characters. I
think it's likely that all the actors will be in the movie, unless they
don't want to. Radcliffe is excited to do all the movies, and I think
the same is for Watson and Grint.

I also think Warner would be smart to keep the actors if they can. I
certainly wouldn't want to see any one of the actors change out (even
Harris, despite my original feeling).

So...that's about as much as I know...
