As part of their 2010 Preview kit, Warner Bros have released a brief synopsis of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, which includes a list of the main cast for the film. Although most have been confirmed, newly noted cast are Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter, Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall, and Ciarán Hinds finally confirmed as Aberforth Dumbledore. The preview can be seen here:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.

Very cool. I'm so glad that Maggie and Miranda are back. Both have done exceptional jobs playing the characters they portray.

Glad that she's in!

Nice to hear their come back!!!

Big come back!!!
I can't wait to see them all again.

No Harry Melling?

I'm glad they're all coming back. :) It should be a great end to a fantastic franchise.

Harry's in the movie, don't worry. This is just the main cast; there are many, many more cast that haven't been listed.

lovin' life
 

I agree with you, but Maggie's always been here, throughout all the movies, so she's not really coming back, I guess...maybe it's just me that's noticing this...

I like the small synopsis they made :)

Oh cool, she made me laugh in GOF. ^_^
Neat little bit of....preview there, too!

Does anyone know if there is anyone that they haven't got yet, or doesn't plan on coming back for the final movies? It sounds like they've got pretty much everyone back from the previous films which is great!!

^^^^^^

I'm still wondering who will play Severus Snape in his childhood....

There is the chapter 'The Prince Tale', but I haven't read any news about possible actors who will play him as a child and as young adult

But I can be completely wrong and if I've missed something about that tell me.....

But it's great news to hear that Miranda is back as Rita because she was downright fantastic for that role in GoF

Emma Thompson won't be back as Trelawney, and has said as much. She's the only one, however.

There hasn't been any word on Snape's memories; those scenes will more than likely be shot next year (as Michael Gambon is due back on set in February).

She was an entertaining character

AWESOME! She played Rita Skeeter PERFECTLY!!! I wish she would have been in OotP to write the story for Harry. And I wish they would havve had Hermione catching her as a bug in GoF

Bahahah! YES! She was awesome is Rita!
:)

i'm glad maggie smith's back as mcgonagall, she rocks!!!

I love Maggie Smith as McGonagall-NO ONE else can play her character as well :)
Loved Rita Skeeter- she was soooo funny in GoF- obnoxious yet funny :-)

Oh good :)

Thats awesome! I loved Emma i wished she would come back and play Trewlany! I love Miranda Though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome!
I loved Miranda as Rita! :)

cool :) I liked her she was funny!
