| | |  Bill Nighy talks Scrimgeour & Harry's relationship in Deathly Hallows
In a new interview, actor Bill Nighy spoke about the character he will portray in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour, and his relationship with Harry in the films. Quote:
"Scrimgeour is a tragic figure," said Bill. "He knows what's coming. It's a very moving thing to play.
"He's also very powerful and has had a very complicated progress to the top. And he has an interesting relationship with Harry, who views him initially with contempt. But then it's softened by subsequent events.
"There's a scene where he delivers Dumbledore's legacy to the three children.
"He gives them all the things Dumbledore has left them, and that's when it's indicated he may not be around for much longer."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011. | |

|  Minister for Magic
I always thought Bill Nighy had acting chops, his Davey Jones character in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies was muy excelente. He played a tragic figure in those films and I suppose the same goes for his role as Rufus Scrimgeour. He has the best interests of the Wizarding world at heart, but doesn't seem to be know how best to advance the cause against the forces of Darkness unless it involves the direct approach which involves some desperate and politically motivated methods. Keep the population thinking that things are all well when in fact they are not, he is in a difficult position.
Harry cannot go along with the Ministry's party line and there interference as it turns out is counterproductive to the Horcrux hunt. There is a mutual respect between Scrimgeour and Potter but an abundance of mistrust.

I always sort of saw Scrimgeour as a figure of respect, because whatever he did - trying to be the detective and all, was all because he knew the impending disaster...
Bill Nighy makes me have hope for the movie, they're keeping the will in!  | |

Good interview. BUT as 17 is considered 'of age' in the wizarding world, they are definately NOT kids.

Scrimgeour is kind of annoying at first but then it's quiet touching that he didn't reveal Harry's where abouts to the DeathEaters.

I like Scrimgeour. I think he's not a one-dimensional character at all, is very deep, but most readers don't tend to think of him that way. Poor guy, though. He had loads to handle ... and he had to try to regain the faith people once had in the Ministry. He could have made a great Minister, in a less freaky time. =[
