Many of Britain's shining stars showed up for this year's BAFTAs today, among them Daniel Radcliffe and Jason Isaacs. Both Potter actors each presented an award for the event. One news report states that Radcliffe "got one of the biggest cheers of the night from the crowd." Order of the Phoenix was up for both "Special Visual Effects" and "Production Design," but lost both awards to The Golden Compass and Atonement, respectively. You can take a look at a few the pictures from the night here in the gallery.

In a new interview, Jason Isaacs, who portrays Lucius Malfoy, discusses his absence in Half-Blood Prince. At the recent BAFTAs, he told Rotten Tomatoes that it was "a source of great embitterment in the Isaacs household, but he's in Azkaban so what can you do?" However, he has high hopes for the last installment.
"I hope I'm coming back for seven. Dan's going to Broadway to do his play for a long time, so I don't know when or if I'm going to come back. But I'll be even more bitter if I don't get to return for seven!"

The actor who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films has given a new interview to ComingSoon.net, who asks him lots of questions about his role in the Potter franchise! Of particular interest, he talks about how he plead with Jo to free his character in Deathly Hallows:
CS: What was it like to pick up the final "Harry Potter" book when it came out and not know what was in there, especially for you?
Isaacs: I'm not quite strong enough to pick up a book of that weight. I had a couple of people to help me, and a winch. The secret can be out now. Before it came out I wasn't quite sure – there was a point where I wasn't sure I was going to do anymore because there wasn't much for me to do in number five and I wasn't in number six. I met Jo Rowling for the first time at a big awards dinner. I went over and basically fell to my knees and said "Get me out of prison, I beg you." She looked over her shoulder and looked back at me mouthing "You're out. Chapter One." And that was it, that's all I had to know, and I signed up immediately.

The Jerusalem Post has a new interview up with the actor who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films. In it, Jason Issacs discusses his love for being a part of the franchise and the Deathly Hallows split:
"We had a ridiculously good time making them," he says, recalling specific scenes with Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes and, of course, Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
Talking about how the last book is set to be made into two films, he says ominously, "I think that's a mistake."
After a beat, he adds, "It should be made into 10 films so I can do it for the rest of my life."

Jason Issacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films, has given a new interview to Ain't It Cool News where he discusses how he prepares for his roles in Potter:
And then HARRY POTTER, it's been such an enormous part of my life for years now, and almost everything else I do, I knock myself out to try and make things real--I research them, I over-research them. I steep myself in it and torture myself at night trying to make something interesting and believable and human. But then you suddenly get handed a wand and full-length velvet cape, and you're sharing scenes with some of the biggest and best scene stealers who have ever lived. You really have to hit the ground running. To give that much joy to so many people and to have such a laugh doing it feels like an embarrassment of riches.
Jason also notes that his character does not have a role in Half-Blood Prince and may only appear in a moving painting.

Not really. While at the first night of Sister Act on the West End, actor Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, joked that Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint "should have rebelled" to create some controversy.
It would be so great for the press if one of them would go off the rails and end up in rehab, but they are, actually, just really sweet guys.

Exciting comments related to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 are out this evening thanks to Jason Isaacs, who spoke to ComingSoon.net at the premiere of Green Zone today.
Of particular interest is this about the final battle sequence: "They made the last book into two films, and it was a fantastic experience because everyone who is left alive is back… and even some of the dead people," he said with a sly smile. "There is one long sequence where everyone who is left standing is there when the forces of good meet the forces of evil." He also spoke about how they've been molding these two final films: "This franchise goes out in an epic way," he concluded. "I think the end of the films will be a fantastically cinematic and visual feast and it will more than satisfy the readers of the books, but what you won't get is the book on screen. You will get something more and different." More great comments from Jason can be read on ComingSoon.net!

Yesterday we reported on some new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comments from Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the films.
Today we have a few more nice words from Jason thanks to Collider.com. They caught up with him at the Green Zone press junket: Collider: You’re in another rather large franchise.
Jason Isaacs: Not anymore. Don’t make me cry.
Collider: You wrapped on that recently. Could you talk about your experiences on the last two films?
Jason Isaacs: Well, it’s very sad for me. I was already nostalgic for the history of Harry Potter while I was still making it and I knew the end was coming. It was two film…they made the last book into two films and it was a fantastic experience because everybody’s back…everyone who is left alive that is…and even some of the dead people. There is nothing greater than sitting around on a Harry Potter set when you’re not filming and listening to the likes of Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent tell stories. And watching everybody crew the scenery up in the few moments you get on screen - trying to out ham each other is magnificent. This big franchise goes out in an epic way. But I was always cognisant of the fact that I’d have to pack up my little furry friend of a wig and stick it in a box and say goodbye to the cane. All the joy was tinged with sadness for me.

MTV continues to pump out the interviews, this time with actor Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films. In promotion of his new movie, Green Zone, Jason spends some time talking about his feelings now that he is finished filming Deathly Hallows.
"I'm looking for any excuse to go back, pretend I left things in my trailer, that kind of thing."
"Mostly saying goodbye to the wig was a very emotional experience. I don't get to keep the wig. I don't know, it might be on a traveling exhibit. I think it's got a very good agent who's got some more work lined up."
"I'm [both] dreading and looking forward to when it says 'The End' because it's the end of a decade of an amazing experience for all of us."

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor who plays Lucius Malfoy talks about how he prepared for his first film as the evil character:
First up: Malfoy’s appearance. “I went to the set, and they had this idea of me wearing a pinstripe suit, short black-and-white hair,” Isaacs recalls. “I was slightly horrified. He was a racist, a eugenicist. There’s no way he would cut his hair like a Muggle, or dress like a Muggle.” So Isaacs suggested instead that he wear a long white wig, and a particularly ostentatious wizard-like ensemble. “In order to keep the hair straight, I had to tip my head back, so I was looking down my nose at everyone. There was 50 percent of the character.
