Carol responds:
Maybe they'll bring Christian Coulson back as Tom riddle Sr. since
he's too old now to play Tom Jr. (Hope they find someone who closely
resembles him.) As for poor Merope, I can't guess who they'd cast or
who'd want the part.

I expect that they'll cut Cormac since there's no Quidditch but keep
Romilda, without whom Ron can't be poisoned (after eating the
love-potioned chocolates intended for Harry) or be reconciled with
Hermione.

Carol, looking forward to reading "Just stuff a bezoar down their
throat" in the HBP's Potions book
