Gary Oldman is now officially in negotiations to reprise his role as Sirius Black for Warner Bros. Pictures' fifth "Harry Potter" installment, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" reports Reuters.
When principal photography on the David Yates-helmed movie started last week, negotiations with Oldman had not begun which led to speculation that Oldman would not be returning and the part would have to be recast.
"We're not shooting his part for quite a while, and as is always the case, you begin with the parts that are most pressing. We have every intention of having Gary Oldman play Sirius Black" says "Potter" producer David Heyman.
