| | |  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:  | |

Awesome news wewt Tho at times I kinda wish they just kept Fudge for DH, I think his death would of made more of an impact seeing that Scrimagour was cut from HBP, but anyways Yay! | |

So does that mean WB is beefing up Scrimgeour's role since he gets killed so early on?
