Bill Nighy cast in Deathly Hallows
By Rachelle | June 30, 2009
The actor Bill Nighy, who is known for his acting in the Pirates of the Caribbean series and the Underworld series, has confirmed that he will be in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films. He has stated that he will not say who he has been cast to play, however he has said that he will be a good guy.
Nighy gets his own magic show (at last)
Bill Nighy has an announcement. “I don’t think I’m allowed to say it but I’m going to be in the next Harry Potter film,” he tells us. “I won’t say which character, but he’s a goodie. I just got the gig.” If you don’t mind us saying, it’s about time, Bill. The rangy actor has been dropping hints for aeons, once complaining that he was “the only British actor who hasn’t been in Harry Potter“. But has he read the books? “Not yet, but I will!” he says. “It’s rather like being in a Shakespeare that way, you know?” Mm.

Does anyone know whether John Hurt is returning as Mr. Ollivander?
If not, that’s my guess of who Bill will be playing.

I’ve heard that he is. In fact, I think it was posted on this news site. Somewhere xD
My mum is betting he’s playing Aberforth, but I dont think so. Its a bit late in filming to cast a pretty important character.
