| | |  Jason Isaacs talks Potter films, Deathly Hallows & more
While promoting his new film, Good, actor Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) spoke recently about working on the Harry Potter set, and his take on the Deathly Hallows split: Quote:
"Unfettered fun" is how Isaacs describes the experience of playing the Malfoy. For a moment, he talks about Malfoy's focus on "racial purity - it sounds like right-wing political campaigning," but then he says, "I don't want to look at the serious side of it. It was too much fun. It was an opportunity for me to play like my kids play, and to chew up the scenery with some of the greatest actors in the world... They prove that it's not true that an unhappy film set makes for a good film...
"We had a ridiculously good time making them," he says, recalling specific scenes with Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes and, of course, Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
Talking about how the last book is set to be made into two films, he says ominously, "I think that's a mistake."
After a beat, he adds, "It should be made into 10 films so I can do it for the rest of my life."

Good interview. Wasn't he in an American TV show where he played a photojournalist but gets killed off while in Iraq? Was it West Wing? Does anyone know? This was way before HP and the blond wig.

I agree with Jason. Ten films would be nice. Let's move on to what Lucius does after the war!

Lmao I love this guy - I get so happy when I see something about him saying something - even a quote of the week! I enjoy his sense of humour and just what he says in general. Seems like a fun guy.
I totally agree - move over Harry, we all know it's really all about Lucius. | |

Yeah, I would sit through as many Harry Potter's that would ever be made, I highly doubt that I will ever get tired of it, I've been a huge fan ever since it first came out onto paper, and even now at 23 my love for this particular fantasy has not faded...wow, that might be a little pathetic lol but oh well, I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!

This was way before HP and the blond wig. Yes, he was in West Wing, in three episodes spanning then end of season 5 and the beginning of season 6. The episodes were 'Gaza', 'Memorial Day' and 'NSF Thurmont'. He played a photojournalist called Colin Ayres (with an adorable Irish accent) in Gaza (not Iraq). He didn't get killed off; he was a love interest for Donna Moss who was later badly hurt in an explosion. There were some interesting scenes between Ayres and Josh Lyman, who was jealous of his involvement with Donna.
It was an interesting little arc, with the balanced approach you'd expect from the West Wing - before she's injured, Ayres takes Donna to talk with Israeli settlers and soldiers, and with Palestinians, in order to let her hear all sides of the situation. Quote:

I feel the same way. I started reading the books when CoS came out, I'm still completely addicted - and I'm 42!

I feel the same way. I started reading the books when CoS came out, I'm still completely addicted - and I'm 42! I second that motion!!! I am 40 and believe to be more addicted to HP than my daughter is lol, I let her know of new things cause I am always on these sites...I can see the movies a million times over and still get emotional like the first time...VIVA HARRY POTTER FOR EVER!!!
