Young Lucius Malfoy cast in Half-Blood Prince (UPDATE #2)
The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceIMDb page has listed actor Tony Coburn as a young Lucius Malfoy in the sixth film. We are unaware of the context in which the actor will play Lucius, and thus will wait for Warner Bros. on confirmation of this news.
UPDATE: Our partner site Blog Hogwarts secured a photo and an interview with Coburn, in which he confirms his role in Half-Blood Prince.
Quote:
BlogHogwarts: Had you read any of the Harry Potter books before getting the role? Tony Coburn: I hadn't seen any films before or read any books UNTIL I got the role and thought I should watch how Malfoy is and I saw Order of the Phoenix to get an idea of his character. I didn’t even need to audition ‘cause they said i looked very much like Jason Isaacs when he was younger so i was picked immediately for Young Lucius Malfoy.
BH: Have you filmed your scenes for Half-Blood Prince? In which scenes are you involved? TC: The scenes have been shot and I was in a dinner scene with Professor Slughorn. I was also an extra in Dumbledore’s death scene which was a night shoot.
BH: Who did you work with? Who did you meet? TC: I acted with Jim Broadbent and was in the death scene with Michael Gambon, Daniel Radcliffe, Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane.
BH: How did you feel participating in a Harry Potter movie? TC: It’s amazing to be in the film and I would never have imagined that I would feature in one, even though the part is small, it's still fantastic fun.
BH: In which other projects have you been involved? TC: I have played Scrooge on stage before and featured on Totally Doctor Who.
You can see Coburn in action at his youtube account where he has put up some of his work in various independent films.
UPDATE #2: A video of Tony talking about growing his hair, costume fittings and photoshoots, can be seen below.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle
Graduated
Maybe he's been included in the scenes with Young Riddle. I know they're not the same age, but that doesn't mean the films haven't been creative with canon (it's not like it'd be the first time...)
I thought he might be in another one of Slughorn's photos like Regulus, Emma, but I dunno. I mean, what else would they need a young Lucius Malfoy for?
Lucius is around five years older than Snape; he was a prefect when Snape was sorted into Slytherin in DH, so Lucius would have been in his fifth or sixth year at the time.
This is interesting...i have think many things but i don't even consider of thinking of a young Lucius...voldemort is older than lucius or younger? because lucius is older than snape, right?
