More cast members have been announced for Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

14-year-old unknown Evanna Lynch is the latest thesp to join David Yates’ cast as he prepares to kick off shooting next week. She’s playing Luna Lovegood, the spaced-out witch widely known as "Loony" Lovegood at Hogwarts.

Meanwhile, Imelda Staunton’s casting has been made official by Warner Bros, though it was widely known that she had taken a part in the film. Check out that story, which we reported way back in October last year, here.
