| | |  Bill Nighy confirms Scrimgeour role in Deathly Hallows
We reported last week that actor Bill Nighy had been cast in Deathly Hallows. He revealed this weekend at the Oxfam Bookfest that he will indeed be playing Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour in the seventh installment of the Harry Potter series. Quote:
"I am in the next Harry Potter," he told reporters.
"I will be Rufus Scrimgeour, who is the Minister of Magic and he is a very very important man."
Bill Nighy, who played Davy Jones in the Pirates films, added: "I am no longer the only English actor not to be in Harry Potter and I am very pleased."
A new photo of Bill at the book festival can be seen here:  | |

Nailed it, EmmaRiddle! *high fives*
Ooo, I wonder if this means they've decided to add other scenes that were originally cut as well.

A little scrawny and old for the character, but make-up and such can make miracles. We'll se.

I laughed so much at his reference to no longer being the only English actor in Harry Potter

I don't know why, but yeah, I kind of pictured him unconsciously as Scrimgeour as well. Jo described him as looking like an old lion, and it was Bill Nighy's face I pictured right away...don't ask how. I guess I'd say he has a "lion-esque" facial structure.
But Minister of Magic aside, Rufus Scrimgeour is not a 'good guy'. He's not evil, but after his introduction in HBP, all he's done was attempt to persuade Harry to be the Ministry's poster boy and withold Gryffindor's sword from the trio despite it stating in Dumbledore's will clearly that it was meant for them.
That was the last thing before he died too, so despite him not being a nasty piece of work like Umbridge, I'm still not particularly a fan of Scrimgeour, no.

Hm...I kind of always imagined Scrimgour to look like John Noble...
He`d be the best actor to portray Scrimgeour in my opinion, but I´m sure Mr. Nighy will do a good job as well!^^ | |

They've cast the one who replaces Scrimgeour so I can't imagine it'll be too inflated. Quote:

He didn't say who he was cast as.

Great! They may need to give him the lion-like hair that is such a dominant feature of Scrimgeour.  | |
