Yay John Hurt is back.

I was right again! Am I a seer on the cast and crew for these movies or what?!

yey, glad to see him back, loved him in the philosopher's stone

Yaaaaaay! :D

John Hurt is an excellent actor. The Harry Potter franchise is maybe unprecedented in the number and quality of British character actors who appear in relatively small roles - lucky for us!

Yea:)

Yes!!!!!!

Handsome and dresses well!

Great! Glad to see they're not doing too much recasting or anything.

Yay :woot:
I loved Ollivander!

Wow how old is he?

YAY!!! We couldn't picture someone else playing him.....he did such a GREAT job the first time!!

That's really great!

Yay! I'm glad he's coming back. :P

Yay...go Olli!

It's too bad and i can't accept if another change in portrayals has happened. I'm glad that Mr. John Hurt will reprise his role.

I am SO excited that we have the original Ollivander back!!! I loved him in SS!!!!! :) Way to go HP and WB!!!

Yay !

YES! *Does a few backflips across the room* :woot:

Perfect!!

Yes! *fist pumping into the air*

He was a great Ollivander! :P

Glad that he's returning, too! Haven't seen him since the first film :) Although he was supposed to be in the fourth film [:/]
