Fiona Shaw (Petunia Dursley) and Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley), are playing mother and son in the theatrical production of Mother Courage and Her Children in London.

Fiona Shaw, who has won three Olivier Awards as best actress and who plays Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films, has the title role of a mother of three children caught up in the 30 Years War in Poland. She brings her usual bravura strength to the part but also perhaps too much swagger in the early scenes that feature her singing, making the resourceful character something of a rock chick.

Harry Melling as her simple son, whom she calls Swiss Cheese.

You can view some photos of the pair, here!

Thanks SS!

According to this article, Jessica Hynes has a role in Deathly Hallows.  Upon further investigation I found out that she was the voice of Ministry Official Mafalda Hopkirk, so we can only assume she is actually playing her in Deathly Hallows.  There is a photo of Mafalda in the gallery that you can see here, and it certainly looks like her.

More on this if it becomes available!

UPDATE: Never mind! Sophie Thompson is playing Mafalda in Deathly Hallows, thanks to GigglyLipstick for reminding me of my own news post.  Now I really wonder who Jessica is playing, or if she was supposed to play her and now is not.

According to SS, Suzie Toase, who played Death Eater Alecto Carrow in Half-Blood Prince, confirmed that she would be back for Deathly Hallows.

We’re seeing a lot of you at the moment, not least in Harry Potter. Do you feel like you’re now moving to the next level in your career?
I certainly hope that I am. I didn’t do that much in the last Harry Potter film, so it didn’t change my career all that dramatically, but I’m in the next one as well so we’ll see if that has any impact.

Casting Call Pro have updated their website with some new casting information from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  The information is as follows:

Also, there is a rumor on IMDB that Alex Crockford has been cast as Charlie Weasley!  This is still UNCONFIRMED

Thanks Oclumencia!
