| | |  Bill Nighy begins Deathly Hallows filming later this month, talks Scrimgeour
In a new interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Bill Nighy admitted that he will be filming his scenes for Deathly Hallows later this month. Bill also talks about his character, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the one particular scene he's eager to film. Quote:
"I shoot it when we get back from this trip," Nighy (the Underworld and Pirates of the Caribbean movies) said in an interview in New York, where he was promoting G-Force. "I go home and I shoot, and I am Rufus Scrimgeour. I am a wizard. I am the Minister for Magic, and I am very pleased, because I thought I was going to remain the only English actor who wasn't in Harry Potter, but apparently that's not true."
Quote:
"Scrimgeour is a rather tragic figure, without giving too much away," Nighy said. "But there's no giving too much away, because everybody's read the books. So he's a kind of tragic figure. You have that element. And he knows what's coming. So that's a very moving thing to play. He's also very powerful, and he's had a very complicated progress to the top. And he has an interesting relationship with Harry [Daniel Radcliffe], because Harry views him initially with complete contempt, but then it's softened by subsequent events."
Bill admits his favourite scene to film will be that with Harry, Ron, and Hermione about Dumbledore's will: Quote:
"Well, there's one where he comes and delivers Dumbledore's [Michael Gambon] legacy to the three children," Nighy replied, referring to Harry, Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint, with whom Nighy worked on the upcoming action-comedy Wild Target). "He gives them all of the things that Dumbledore has left them, and that's when it's first indicated that he may not be around for much longer. So it's quite an affecting scene."

Bill Nighy is so funny.  I love his reaction to this role so far.

I like how he laughs about thinking he would be the only british actor not involved with HP haha. Plus its great how he sees a balance in the character.

I love the bit about him not wanting to be the only English actor that hasn't been in the films! It does seem like most of the British acting fraternity have had parts!
He's going to be great,though,I can feel it.

I dote on Bill Nighy, but must admit to a twinge of disappointment because I was *so* hoping he'd be playing Xenophilius Lovegood!

They're keeping that in? Great! Of course, if they're splitting it into two movies, they have more freedom to keep stuff in.

Well I donīt know about this cast ... I imagined Scrimgeour a bit younger and with big red moustache ( donīt know why, there was never meant any moustache in the book, or was there?)
