This is not really about Emma Watson but…

Doug Urbanski, Gary Oldman’s long-time manager sealed the deal with Harry Potter producer David Heyman. The actor will return for the role of Sirius Black in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie.

“I’m so relieved and happy,” said Urbanski. “I can’t put my mind in the place of the producers, but I would’ve thought that when they read the book, a call to us would’ve been very high on their list. Obviously, the character of Sirius Black is key.”

Oldman’s manager mentioned Oldman had been offered several different film roles in the time it took Warner Bros. to make a decision on the part of Harry’s godfather. Both Gary and his manager are delighted with the highly anticipated outcome: “It’s a wonderful role. Gary read the script last night, and he read part of it to me on the phone this morning. The end of the story is: Gary’s in it. It’s a terrific script, and he’s so happy to be back.”
