Bill Nighy talks Scrimgeour & Harry's relationship in Deathly Hallows
 

In a new interview, actor Bill Nighy spoke about the character he will portray in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour, and his relationship with Harry in the films.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.

coolieo

I have to laugh when he says "delivers to the three children"- they are definitely not children anymore... CANT WAIT FOR DH!!!!

Great interview!
He is so great!!
Can't wait to see him and all the others in DH!!!:lol:

aww bless him

thats made me see scrimgeour differently :hmm:

I'm really looking forward to seeing him in DH.He is just perfect for the role IMHO. :D

I love Bill!!! He was so fantastic in Pirates and Underworld! Also Alex Rider!

Neat. :) He seems like he'll be a good Scrimgeour.

when he hands over the inheritance in the book, he plays detective....he doesnt, in the least, act like he may not be there in the future, so is this yet another twist???

Oh yay! I didn't realise Bill Nighy was going to be in Deathly Hallows; I love him, he's so awesome. Now I'm looking forward to it even more! :D

cool but children?! i wouldn't call them that

I love him for being so enthusiastic about this even before he got the part. Love him, love him, love him.

(And of course he'd call them children! If I were older I'd definitely call anyone twenty or more years younger than me a child, especially anyone I'd seen as children in a series of ridiculously popular films.)

Isn't that when it's first indicated that he's losing control?

To someone as old and influential as Scrimgeour, three kids that are around seventeen would be children. Since he's not particularly friendly with Harry when they first meet, I could certainly imagine the new Minister condescending them in such a way.

Bill is one of my favorite actors, so I can't wait to see him as Scrimgeour.

cool...quotes...

lovin' life
 

Hmmm sounds interesting...can't wait for DH! :D only 11 more months...only, hmmph T.T wish it was closer...

:bnawtf:

Bill will be great in DH and I can't wait to see Davy Jones without tentacles in action!!;):p

Nice short interview!

Glad to hear they're keeping the will in, what with their knack of getting rid of things that seem important.

Ooh I truely can't wait for this movie! I'm sure he will be great as Rufus!!! :yes:

I cant wait to see Bill's portrayal of Rufus

Interesting... Wonder if they are changing it a bit, in the book Harry and Scrimgeour fight and Scrimgeour storms out. Wouldn't really say that was a touching scene?? It's not until Harry finds out Scrimgeour died to protect him that he starts to change his mind about him.

I've never thought of Scrimgeour being deep, but I guess he is.

WOOT! I'm excited Scrimgeour is portrayed in the Deathly Hallows movie! I was disappointed we didn't get to see him in HBP, but hopefully this will make up for it!
