| | |  Fiona Shaw reprises Petunia Dursley role in Half-Blood Prince
The Internet Movie Database has listed Fiona Shaw, who plays Harry's Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter films, to reprise her role in the forthcoming Half-Blood Prince.
Actor Richard Griffiths, who plays Vernon Dursley, stated months ago that he will not return for the sixth film to play Harry's uncle, so he will not be seen in the beginning of the film, in which Harry and Professor Dumbledore speak to the Dursleys before leaving Number Four, Privet Drive.
We are currently unaware of whether or not Harry Melling, who plays Harry's cousin Dudley, will be back as well, but will update when we receive information on the news. We do however know that the actor was present at the Half-Blood Prince wrap party.

It's good to know that Petunia will appear  I hope the other two Dursleys will too though :/

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

I think people are getting a little confused ..
I don't think Richard Griffiths quit the movie's for good and won't return for DH, I just think he was unavailable for this one. I'm sure he'll be back for DH.

Huh? I thought they said that they were cutting the Dursleys from the movie? Well this is good news. But a bummer for me because I've been using all of my power to make a vision of how HBP was going to start out like w/o the Dursleys! Dang it. xD

Shhh!
I read from a website a couple months ago (I forgot which one) that Richard Griffith asked Rowling herself for a Uncle Vernon to have a larger part in the movie, and she said no. Does anyone think that that decision may have played a role in his not returning for HBP? just speculating....

I wish Uncle Vernon was in the scene. It's funnier when they're all together

Omg! Seriously? Now I'm a little mad he isn't coming back. Guh... I guess it can't be worse than cutting poor Dobby out of the films, or even Peeves.

it makes me wander how they are going to show that with uncle vernon not being present, but with the technology these days they can just insert him later in the editing stage.

At the end of the day, it is a small role, especially for someone established in the acting world. And what with schedules being jerked about, I can see how it might be annoying and might also clash with other commitments.

Wonder why Griffiths isn't coming back, but Fiona Shaw is? I mean, I know Petunia's important for HBP, but how're they going to introduce the scene with just her?

I hope Richard Griffiths comes back for DH and that Harry Melling is still in HBP with Fiona Shaw. | |

It'd be cool if they could CGI Richard in as Vernon. He just wouldn't have any talking scenes but at least he could show his character through expressions
