Video: Rhys Ifans cast as Xenophilius Lovegood in Deathly Hallows (UPDATED)
Rhys Ifans (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Vanity Fair, The Boat That Rocked) confirmed on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross tonight that he has been cast in Deathly Hallows. He spoke about being fitted for his costume whilst out filming in Spain for Mr. Nice a couple weeks ago. Photos of Rhys can be seen here.
While he did not say which part he would be playing, we believe that he'll be taking the role of Xenophilius Lovegood.
In related news Jason Isaacs (Lucius) is due to appear on the show next week on April 3rd on BBC1 at 10:35pm BST.
UPDATE: The interview during which Rhys announces his casting can be watched below. Rhys talks about Deathly Hallows at about 5:55.
It is better if British actor "Liam Neeson" will portray the character,
Considering that Xeno's character is the most important to the plot of the story.
And since Neeson is an Irish same with Evanna Lynch who played Luna Lovegood in the movies...

I don't think Liam is exactly up to doing much these days.
From the pictures, he might be a good X. Lovegood. It looks like he has the eyes for the part. Well, HP 7A & 7B looks like it's coming along!! That's great.
Hmm I've heard he's a good actor, but he does look incredibly young. The make-up crew will have to add a good 15-20 years on him. Should be good though, he seems to have some good strange characteristics and mannerisms about him. For some reason, I never thought of Xeno as Welsh, but for some reason, it does kinda fit. Considering Evanna Lynch (Luna) has an irish accent, though, it might confuse some people.
OMG....That is really cool,I love him in Notting Hill and Little Nicky.I think he will be good a Xeno,If he is doing that part.

AWESOME! He's perfect this role. I thought they were going to cast Bob Hoskins, but Rhys is excellent. Not only does he kind of look like Evanna Lynch...but he's sooo quirky and weird!! Another great casting job in my opinion. I wonder if there's anyone left now?
