We earlier
reported that The Sun, a British tabloid, claimed Miriam Margoyles, the actress who plays Professor Sprout, had told them she would not be in the fifth film, 'Order of the Phoenix' as she'd been cut from the script.
However, WB have now
said that the Order of the Phoenix script is unfinished and so they cant comment on the matter.
The article also claims that the fifth installment is about to begin shooting - that is not true. David Heyman told reporters that filming for OotP won't start until early 2006, the script will be written by Michael Goldenberg (Peter Pan) and a director for the project will be announced by the end of this year with the film due out in cinemas sometime in either the spring or autumn of 2007.
