| | |  Kenneth Branagh to star in Wallander series
Kenneth Branagh, who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is set to team up with the BBC for the production of a series of three films based on Henning Mankell's best-selling Wallander crime novels. Quote:
"Wallander is a wonderfully complex and compelling character and I am excited to be playing this fascinatingly flawed but deeply human detective."
Quote:
"This is more than just a detective series. It's fantastic drama, great stories and an absolutely beautiful setting," Andy Harries, head of newly founded production company Left Bank Pictures, told Broadcast.
"Visually these films are going to be very strong, very picture postcard. Ken Branagh is perfect for the title role," he added.

I've seen the Wallander-films! You see, they're from Sweden (where I come from) and Henning Mankell is Swedish =]
They're really good, and I think Kenneth is the perfect actor for the part!

That's wonderful 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I so have to get my hands on those films once they're done. The Wallander novels are among my favourite books.
