We
reported last week that actor Bill Nighy had been cast in
Deathly Hallows. He
revealed this weekend at the Oxfam Bookfest that he will indeed be playing Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour in the seventh installment of the
Harry Potter series.
Quote:
"I am in the next Harry Potter," he told reporters.
"I will be Rufus Scrimgeour, who is the Minister of Magic and he is a very very important man."
Bill Nighy, who played Davy Jones in the Pirates films, added: "I am no longer the only English actor not to be in Harry Potter and I am very pleased."
