It may not be a hoax (I'm willing to consider it valid since it appears 
to be connected with his management, but of course you never know), but 
I find it highly unlikely that Sirius will not appear and if they were 
recasting I think by this point it would be public knowledge (and it 
sounds like he wants to do it). One thought I had is that the movies 
take a while to film. OOTP takes place in several locations so they may 
be working on everything at Hogwarts for instance first, then the 
Dursleys then Grimmauld Place etc...So even the filming begins soon. 
Sirius's stuff may not be filmed for a while in which case the yare 
focusing on the other casting (which is all still being done...and many 
roles just being announced now). I'm surprised they aren't still 
contracting the adults for more than one movie at a time. I recall the 
first two being mentioned as jointly contracted. That is what I find 
most unusual about the whole casting process as of late. I must say on 
a side note that I think casting Natalia Tena for Tonks is an excellent 
choice. I wasn't sure who she was at first, but when I looked her up 
and saw that she was Ellie from About a Boy and the girl from Mrs. 
Henderson Presents (Whose character name I can't remember, sorry!) I 
thought she would be great in that role.
