Pius Thicknesse cast for Deathly Hallows
 

British actor Guy Henry (Starter for 10, V for Vendetta, Bright Young Things) has been cast as Minister for Magic Pius Thicknesse in Deathly Hallows. During a BBC radio 2 talk show early this morning with Sarah Kennedy, Guy sent a report to the host confirming that he will play the new Minister in the final films (that segment starts at 1:15 into the broadcast). He stated:

Thanks very much to SS reader LunaLovesPudding for the tip!

omg i have seen him before....like him for this =)

the first picture is exactly how i imagined him

Awesome!! He looks great! Exactly how he's described in the book. :D

They already cast Aberforth ages ago. He's going to be played by Ciaran Hinds.

he looks a lot like how I imagined him! they are casting EVERYONE from the book, it's awesome!

That's a bit unfair, Thicknesse is described as having a large overhanging forhead, so much so that he looks like a 'crab peering out from under a rock'.

So, will they have Scrimgeour? I mean Bill Nighy was cast, but they didn't specify his role and that was his rumored role was MoM, not Picknesse of course, so I really think this might mean that Nighy is going to be cast as Aberforth!!!! I really hope so, he's such a terrific actor and I would love to see him in that role!

Also, Guy Henry in Lost in Austen was hilarious. His performance should be interesting!

He looks great, very excited with the casting for the last film(s) so far!
:banaboogie:

Loved him in Lost in Austen ;)

(Guilty secret, I knew he was cast for over a week, a fan at the UK HBP Truck Tour said he was cast as Thicknesse but wasn't allowed to announce it or something. Though I wasn't sure at the time whether it was true or not. The woman from WB looked like she wanted to strangle him :xd:)

yay for Guy being cast =)

Actually, Ciarin Hinds was already cast as Aberforth in DH.

David Yates said if Scrimgeour was cast it would be Bill Nighy, so I'm 99% sure that Nighy is playing Scrimgeour.

Oh, Cool! I think he's perfect for the role!!

Wow ! That's pretty much what I imagined him as : D Yay !

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) WOHOO!!!! Keep those cast of characters coming!!! Did they get Imelda Staunton back as Umbridge?

Cool. I'm sure he'll look just like how I pictured him once makeup and hair and stuff :)

Mmm. Yes, casting is a tricky thing. You have to be diplomatic with information.

We don't know yet but I imagine she'll do it.

Good For Him for Getting The Part!

He totally looks the part!

Cool!

had imagined the character a tad chubbier, but this guy looks great!!

Good height but not as lanky you know? Like a bit of meat on his bones lol

cool he looks great good luck with the fiming

Just as I had imagined him!
