I know there are a few misc. threads regarding with the casting of individual characters, but a whole shitload of casting confirmations came in today and I wasn't sure where to put them - so here I go. If this should be in a different thread, let me know.

WB released a Press Release today, and has confirmed almost all of the roles for Goblet of Fire. Here are the new names:

Barty Crouch Sr.: Roger Lloyd - Pack (http://imdb.com/name/nm0516181/)
Barty Crouch Jr.: David Tennant (http://imdb.com/name/nm0855039/)
Karkaroff: Pedja Bjelac (http://imdb.com/name/nm0084759/)
Amos Diggory: Jeff Rawle (http://imdb.com/name/nm0712575/)

Other already-released names were also confirmed. The list:
Fluer Delacour: Clemence Poesy (http://www.clemenceposey.com) (Warning - link not work safe)
Cedric Diggory: Robert Pattinson (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_3795000/3795855.stm)
Alastor Moody: Brendon Gleeson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322407/)
Madame Maxime: Frances de la Tour (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0209428/)
Viktor Krum: Stanislav Ianevski (No pics/info available yet)

Confirmed to be returning:
Dan Radcliffe (Harry)
Emma Watson (Hermione)
Rupert Grint (Ron)
Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)
Matthew Lewis (Neville)
Devon Murray (Seamus)
Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe)
Joshua Herdman (Gregory Goyle)
Alfie Enoch (Dean)
James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George)
Chris Rankin (Percy)
Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid)
Michael Gambon (Dumbledore)
Robert Hardy (Fudge)
Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle)
Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy)
Gary Oldman (Sirius)
Alan Rickman (Snape)
Maggie Smith (McGonagall)
Timothy Spall (Pettigrew)
Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley)

This isn't everyone, though - according to TLC (http://the-leaky-cauldron.org), Lord Voldemort is yet to be cast (though the latest rumor is that WB is looking at Ralph Fiennes (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000146/) for the part). Also (again according to TLC), Rita Skeeter has already been cast - yet she was for some reason left off of this list.

Mysteriously absent from the 'returning' list are Ginny and Molly Weasley (Bonnie Wright and Julie Walters), which may or may not mean anything.

Also mysteriously absent from the 'new arrivals' list was Ludo Bagman, and - sadly - Archie, of flowering night dress fame.

So, any thoughts?

Oh, and I see Moaning Myrtle will definately be in GOF - the bathtub is definately a go then, eh? And the teenaged girls/dirty old women squee. ;)
