Young Lucius Malfoy Cast for HBP

The castings announcements for Half-Blood Prince continue to come, even as end of filming approaches. The BlogHogwarts has emailed us to tell us of an exclusive new interview with the actor, Tony Coburn, who has been cast as a Young Lucius Malfoy.

BlogHogwarts: Have you read any of the Harry Potter books before getting the role?
Tony Coburn: I hadn't seen any films before or read any books UNTIL i got the role and thought I should watch how Malfoy is and I saw Order of the Phoenix to get an idea of his character. I didnt even need to audition cos they said i looked very much like Jason Isaacs when he was younger so i was picked immediately for Young Lucius Malfoy.

BH: Have you filmed your scenes for 'Half-Blood Prince'? In which escenes are you involved?
TC: The scenes have been shot and was at a dinner scene with Professor slughorn. I have aslo been an extra in Dumbledores death scene which was a night shoot.

BH: Who did you work with? Who did you meet?
TC: I acted with Jim Broadbent and was in the death scene with Micheal Gambon, Daniel Radcliffe, Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane.

BH: How did you feel participating in a Harry Potter movie?
