Nighy

Bill Nighy has jokingly commented in the past that he is the only British actor not to appear in the Harry Potter films, but this will no longer be the case! Nighy has stated that he is very interested in appearing the one of the films on numorous occasions in the past and will now have the opportunity as he has been cast in The Deathly Hallows as a yet unnamed character. The smart money is on Rufus Scrimegour however, Director David Yates has commented in the past that if the character was to be included he would imagine noone but Nighy in the role. I admit that it is very easy to imagine him with a lion's mane-type hair style dressed up in the wizards get-up.
