Jan 31 2006Next Harry Potter Film Will Include Other Races
With filming set to start on the fifth, CBBC has revealed that George Harris has been cast as Kingsley Shacklebolt in the fifth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Harris is an interesting and accomplished actor, having been in films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and more recently The Interpreter, so I'm sure he'll do fine in the role. My bigger concern is that somehow this news will be the first message to reach an alien race. They'll come to me to explain it, and I'll have to say how Shacklebolt is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, the group set up to fight the evil Lord Voldemort, who works as a Dark Wizard catcher for the Ministry of Magic, whereupon the aliens will recognize us as an idiot race and continue on their way.

maybe now people will shut up about the fact that there weren't other races in this film. I hate how we have to put certain amount of minorities in films here in america. Thats ridiculous that we have to regulate that, and that people bitch about that. BOOHOO

There aren't blacks in the Harry Potter movies because blacks don't do traditional magic, they practice voodoo! Geez, don't you know that?
Seriously though, I think he'll add a nice touch to the next one. Look forward to seeing him.
