| | |  Jim Broadbent to reprise Slughorn role in Deathly Hallows
In a new interview with the BBC, actor Jim Broadbent has confirmed that he will reprise his role of Horace Slughorn in Deathly Hallows. Jim spoke about what drew him to take on the Potions Master role in Half-Blood Prince, and what it was like to work with his young co-stars and the mass amounts of CGI in the movie. Quote:
"I knew [producer] David Yates before, had worked with him and loved him, so that's where the invitation came from.
"I loved the films anyway, they're great and the character was irresistible, so it was a no brainer really, no apprehensions."
Although he hadn't read a Harry Potter book after Philosopher's Stone, Jim managed to figure out how to play the role of a professor in a boarding school well enough: Quote:
"You put it altogether, I'm sure there are bits I still don't understand but not wholly necessary for me to know," he says.
"He's a teacher and we've all had teachers. I was at a public school that was not quite the same as Hogwarts," he explains.
"But there was enough I could draw on to pick up on various characteristics of some of my old teachers, and that's certainly where I first went for inspiration."
Jim praises his young co-stars and their professionalism, as well as the behind-the-scenes crew: Quote:
"I've worked with younger, they didn't seem young, they're quite grown up now and quite sophisticated and very good young actors," he explains.
"I took it from them, as they inhabit their roles in such a natural and easy way that it's just good to be able to join them and try and get on with it as easy as they are. It's terrific."
Quote:
"It wasn't a great deal of my stuff that was CGI-heavy. I don't find it that difficult, certainly what I had to do wasn't difficult.
"I find it interesting really. If I had to do a whole film which was CGI that would drive you round the bend.
"The amount I have done, I've just found it intriguing how they can do it, and the wonderful revelation when you see what has been done."

I'm glad Jim Broadbent is coming back for the Deathly Hallows. I can't wait to see that movie. I wish there were more of them coming after Deathly Hallows.

It's good that he'll be Slughorn again because it'd be strange to change the actor.

He was an AMAZING Slughorn! Glad he's coming back. Although they could have made him a little fatter.
