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.
im just wondering how the movie is going to be different from the book, and im pretty afraid of it. and young lucius malfoy as the actor said that he was in the scene with slughorn, so it only can be the slug club dinner parties, when afterwards slughorn told riddle about horcruxes.
Or maybe Harry's bris? Who knows? Seriously, I think the movies have gone a bit further downhill since POA with each successive one. We're losing huge chunks of important narrative in favor of cute little moments and characters who have no business being anywhere near the film. POA-Shrunken heads put in, almost the ENTIRE backstory of the Marauders told in the Shrieking Shack left out. GOF-A cute little moment of learning to dance put in, the entire break with the Ministry, Ludo Bagman, the creatures of the maze, the majority of Rita Skeeter's campaign all left out. OOTP-About a few hundred educational decrees, some that are supposed to be funny but left me putting my head in my hands and saying "huh?" put in, and enough important sutff left out I could probablyt write a five page essay with footnotes and a complete filed index, all left out. I've gone into each movie since POA with slightly lower expectations, and I tell you, I haven't been disappointed yet. Maybe I'm overreacting because I'm a book purist, and I realize that with the books getting bigger you can't put everything in there, but the movies are being ruined. Since I bought OOTP on DVD, I have watched it maybe once. And I skipped through a lot of it. All I have to say is, if they mess too much with TDH, they'd better hole themselves up in a castle with a moat!
*Hugs* Ohmygosh! A supporter!

It's funny that they are putting a young Lucius in the HBP movie. I wonder if that means that they will cut him out of DH since that is where we actually see a young Lucius.
I was thinking the same thing. But, I haven't seen any pictures of jason when he was a Young man. I sure hope that he can live up to the part that jason has made his own.

Sorry to say but, I do have to agree. As will a hell of a lot of Potter fans around the world. There is always this big hype machine going prior to the movies & us fans get sooooo pumped up. & when he seee the actual movie. Talk about crash & burn. The fans aren't happy. I too have noticed big time that here in the US at least. Potter Numbers at the box office though they are very very very good. They have not gotten back to that 300 million the 1st movie has done. & only with OOTP did those number climb up again. & it did that only because of the Release of DH in July. The 1st weekend box office which is always the biggest. I think it pulled something like 48 Million. & everyone will tell you that is not good for a blockbuster summer movie. Yeah, they had a specil showing on the Wed. But, still weekend numbers always go up.
I just think that it is the Screenwriters who just can't seem to get it right from putting the book on the screen. OOTP was the biggest book with the shortest movie ( What the hell). & WB refusal to do a 3 hour movie. They could get more than enough info into the movie. Same would go for DH ( no need to 2 movies) WB wasn't to get as many showing per day for the Max daily box office.
If a Movie is truly great the fans will sit through a 3.5/4 hour movie( SEE ROTK LOTRS) each of the Rings movies were over 3 hours( so much information in the story itself & also back stories that were touched upon) & Then ROTK almost 4 hours & still Domestically almost 400 million & WW 1.3 Billion. The lenght of the movie did not hurt it's box office. I guess it could have bigger numbers with a shorter movie. But, the thing is that it was such a great movie that the fans sat through it time & time again. 5 Weeks at # 1 at the box office.
I just love the potter books so much & am sadden to see that the movie aren't on the same level as the book. Just wayy too much info ommitted or stuff added for the sake of adding something. I do enjoy the movies But, I don't LOVE them.
