According to TheRaider.net and Dark Horizons, the official website for this summer’s anticipated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull underwent a significant update over the Easter holiday - only for that update to be pulled off the site a few hours later.
It seems that a complete cast page was temporarily online which confirmed a long standing rumour that John Hurt’s role in the film is that of Abner Ravenwood (the father of Karen Allen’s character Marion who was said to be dead in Raiders of the Lost Ark). Producer Frank Marshall was in denial over this rumour as recently as last month.
Furthermore, the page also listed Star Wars actor Ian McDiarmid in the role of Professor Levi - a character the British actor in a 1993 episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series. With the action of Crystal Skull set fourty-one years after the events in that episode, Levi would have to be in his late eighties by this year’s film (provided he doesn’t just appear in flashbacks).

Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.
