Jason Isaacs on Lucius Malfoy in ‘Deathly Hallows’
17 March 2010 at 12:12 GMT
Jason Isaacs has revealed that he had a hand in constructing Lucius Malfoy’s send off in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
“In fact, [Lucius’ ending] wasn’t planned. It was a decision made about how Lucius should end his bit in the story and we’d been leading up to it for a while and David – the lovely director – came to me and goes “What are we going to do with you that’s really great? How are we going to do the ending?” And one day I came up with this thing and he went “gasp Oh that’s it! Oh that’s it. It’ll be great.”

Rhys Ifans on ‘Deathly Hallows’ role
5 March 2010 at 12:12 GMT
Rhys Ifans, the actor set to portray Xenophilius Lovegood in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films, recently spoke about his role. Ifans humouresly compared the oppurtuninty to appear in the Harry Potter films as, “[like] getting knighted”.
“That was great,” he said, beaming. “When you’re an English actor and you get the ‘Harry Potter’ call– it’s like Batman, you know? You have a phone, you have a normal phone, and then you have one that is made out of wood. That’s the ‘Potter’ people. They call you up [and] you get your wand out, you put your cloak on and off you go. It’s a real honor. It’s like getting knighted or something.”
