Chase Armitage, a parkour, a free-runner and stunt performer, has been cast as a Snatcher for Deathly Hallows. He has also done work in editing, directing and martial arts for a range of television shows and commercials. Videos of his work can be seen at his aforementioned website. Pictures of Chase can be seen here.

Thanks to Milau ELF for the tip!

UPDATE: We have contacted Chase, who happily spoke about his role in the film (though could not give away too much filming information because of contractual reasons).

Chase noted that he has not seen the Harry Potter films yet, though after being cast he intends to do so. He also mentions that he will be playing one of four Snatchers (no name given), and that he will start filming his scene (which he could not give information about) next week. He has also been to the set and has met the main cast, noting that Dan Radcliffe is "a real sound dude."

Thanks very much to Chase for speaking with us about his role!

They should probably give him warts, put him in a fat suit, or give him a hump back, because like what's happening with McLaggen, the actors are too good looking to be hated to the full extent that the gits they play need to be hated. I hope I explained that well enough.

Then again, I hope they don't expand the Snatcher capture scene and turn it into a chase with said snatchers doing crazy freerunning moves. Making two movies was to tell the whole story, why not perserve the sanctity while they're at it?

I'm in to the Harry Potter fanfics, particularly the next generation and I keep a lookout for actors who I could imagine as the characters as I read the stories. It helps me actually put the scene together in my head when the characters' faces aren't blank. So my first impression of this guy was that he would make a great James (Sirius) Potter. I don't know, I guess I just see Albus as being the more delicate brother, and this guy is clearly anything but.
