Zara:
I believe your information is correct, and they have not been cast. In
making a movie adaptation of a book, it is sometimes useful to reduce
the number of characters, because in two hours, you can only introduce
so many and have audiences care about them.
When this is done, the function of the removed characters tends to be
given to some character that makes the cut. In HBP, this couple is just
a nice little romantic side-story, so there's not even anything to
rewrite - they, and their scenes, will be missed by no one but book
fans of this couple. But in DH, this couple's wedding and home figure
prominently. My guess (and it is a popular one in the wide fan world
out there) is that Lupin and Tonks will take their place as the couple
getting married, and where Harry goes after Malfoy Manor. This will
make it all the more afecting when little Teddy becomes an orphan, I
suppose.
