I heard they've asked Night to play a part in all of the other movies, but he's turned them down. Sure, he'll do other crap, but not an actually good movies series!

Its only a rumour that he will play Xenoplilius Lovegood.
Rhys said that he was wearin wizard robes.
I dont remember Lovegood wearin wizard robes in the book.
Maybe he could play Mundungus Feltcher (It has been confirmed that Mundungus will appear in Deathly Hallows). I can imagine that

I think he fits the bill of playing Lunas father perfectly. Hes looney enough himself. Like father like daughter.

Read the wedding scene dumb dumbs. And another actor has been confirmed as Mundugus Fletcher and its most likely that the actor playing Fenrir will reprise his role from the sixth movie. Scimgeour will be played by Bill Nighy if he is in the movies at all, That is what David Yates said.

What about the possibility that he is playing the young Dumbledore in the flashbacks?

He definitely looks the part for Xenophilius... that's who I thought of when I first saw him, at least. But he could probably be Grendelwald, too, if you squint a little.
