We've learned that the casting agency representing actor Simon McBurney lists him as having the role of Kreacher in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Presumably he will just be lending his voice for the character. McBurney has also starred in such films as The Golden Compass and The Duchess. Thanks to Val for the tip!

Thats cool but what happened to the person who provided his voice in OotP?

Hardly talked in OOtP so couldve been anyone, having a bigger role in this one they had to pick a person more extensivly and detailed who they thought could do the job. Odd, you cant say for this casting he looks exactly as I imagined him lol :P

Hopefully he sounds like a Kreacher. :)

Interesting. Not all that surprising that they went with someone different, instead of bringing Timothy Bateson back for the role. Itll be interesting to see how much of Kreachers scenes they keep from the book. Its good to know hell make the cut. I just hope they dont change his, or Dobbies, CGI too much.

Well, that sucks that its not the same guy from OOTP....well, I just hope he does a good Kreacher....by the way, a random question...was the same guy that played Fudge in COS come back for POA, GOF, and OOTP?? Thanks!

Fudge or Scrimgeour are neither going to be in HBP. and Fudge isnt seen in DH

Yea I wish it was the same guy too.

That guy doesnt look like he would have the right voice, but i could be wrong, wouldnt be the first time. lol.

WICKED!! I was just watching a movie called "Friends with Money" and Simon and Jason Isaccs are both in it!! What a small world that hes now cast in a Harry Potter film! Ive seen him in practically ALL his movies and hes a brilliant actor, but he also usually plays soft spoken, nice guys so well see how he does with Kreacher. lol.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 18:34:08

I like him in the golden Compass, and I like it. So I like to see it in the DH.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 19:04:49

well all i can say is he better do a good job! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 19:41:48

"That guy doesnt look like he would have the right voice" come now... lets be real. And people complaining about the lack of continuity. Kreacher said all of two sentences in OotP and half of it was in the background, mumbled. Lets wait until November 2010 to judge.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 20:48:11

why arent they using the guy from OotP?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 22:27:03

krazykobra------>maybe bc that guy didnt want to do it again? they cant force him to do it

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-16 23:38:26

GUYS! Its like the same with Griphook. Griphook is being played by Warwick Davis, the same person who plays Flitwick. The Griphook who was in #1 was Mini-me from Austin Powers. Instead, Mini-me is STILL gonna be in Deathly Hallows, as he is the motion-capture for Dobby. Wierd, eh? But its true. I have faith in him. Think of The Simpsons people... I mean, Nancy Cartwright! Hehe =D

Timothy Bateson, who voiced Kreacher in OOTP, is 83. Perhaps this is a factor!
