| | |  Jim Broadbent will be Horace Slughorn in Half-Blood Prince (UPDATED)
In a new interview Jim Broadbent has confirmed that he will play Horace Slughorn, the new Potions professor, in Half-Blood Prince. The actor says he has read the Harry Potter books. He is known for appearing in many famous films, including; Hot Fuzz, Art School Confidential, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Valiant, Bridget Jones's Diary, Moulin Rouge! & many many more. Pictures of the actor can be found in our galleries here. Quote: Question: Who are you?
Broadbent: Who am I? He's called Horace Slughorn. He's a retired teacher of magic who's drawn back out of retirement because he's got some secrets they need in the battle against the Deatheaters and he's quite star struck as a teacher and he's drawn back into the fold because he likes to notch up celebrity students, and he's drawn back by Harry.
Question: Is he a comic character?
Broadbent: He is quite a comic character, yes. I haven't started yet. I've had endless costume fittings and makeup and ...
Question: What kind of costumes?
Broadbent: Tweedy sort of things with a bit of padding. He's an older man, I'm aging up again.
Jim also notes that filming on the sixth movie goes on until May 2008. Rehearsals began today with shooting due to commence soon.
Source: Dark Horizons Update: Harry Potter producer David Heyman actually gave us heads up on this back in July. (sort of)  Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the article where there's a transcript of our interview with him at the Los Angles Order of the Phoenix premiere!  | |

Well, he's not fat like slughorn,
but I'm sure he will look different in the movie, with the make up
and costume.
Can't wait for the movie!!

ZOMG! ZOMG!
Emma Riddle, you're my heroe! I've been waiting for so long for confirmation for who would get this role!
He's gonna be brilliant! He's got those large eyes!

Awesome 
Now all we have to wait for is to know who's playing Riddle

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

He has a great expression about him, a twinkle in the eyes that will be great for Slughorn! He just needs to fatten up a bit, but perhaps padding will do! I think this is a great casting decision.

Wow! I was picturing Bob Hoskins, but I think Broadbent will do a terrific job! Especially if he brings in a little character from Moulin Rouge!!!
Also, check out the new Teen Vogue, it shows the potential teenage Voldemort!!!

Yeah we reported that - however he was one of thousands who auditioned; mentioning he went for the role in Teen Vogue doesn't mean he got it.

That's brilliant, Jim's a fantastic actor. I'm sure he'll make a fantastic Slughorn. He was great in Hot Fuzz!! | |

I hope they make him a fatter... I'm not sure that the padding in the costumes is going to be enough | |

HOLY MOLY, AM I EXCITED FOR THIS!!! I never thought about Jim Broadbent before, but now that I think of the roles that he's played and what he is capable of, he seems a perfect fit for Slughorn. I cannot wait to see him in the film!!! | |
