This casting change is listed on both Leaky Cauldron
and Mugglenet, both generally up-to-the-minute
accurate sources.
Julie:HBC has played some quite witchy characters, so I think she'll have
no problem with Bellatrix.

They also announced that Grubbly-Plank will be played
by Apple Brook and the names of the young Maurader
actors, with an interesting link to the boy cast as
young Snape, Alec Hopkins
(http://www.newburytheatre.co.uk/archive/200312h.htm).
The reviewer's words about Alec sound quite
promising.


 
Julie:
Thanks for the link. Alec does sound quite promising and I think
he very much has the *look* of a young Snape also, at least in 
this accompanying picture!
 
Julie, with very high hopes for OotP based on the casting.
