Jason Isaacs eager to be in Movie 7
The Lucius Malfoy actor today made an appearance on Richard & Judy. Isaacs talks about some of his current acting projects, and a little about Potter:

"I'm waiting to see if I'll be in the seventh book with baited breath. I go to prison all the way through [Book] 6, so number 7, obviously I'm desperate to find out if I get out. I actually met JK Rowling at an awards ceremony and I went over and said 'I'm begging you' [and she laughed]."

A short video clip of this can be seen here.

Posted by pottercrazy107 Jan 30th 2007

Yay second time posting for this great site and I'm in the top ten. I'm off to see the interview.


Posted by horcrux17 Jan 30th 2007

Woot!! He's pretty much one of my favorites.


Posted by madamtorsion Jan 30th 2007

Excellent, now there's something I can sink my teeth into. Those Equus photos make me feel like a pervert...


Posted by h_is_for_harry Jan 30th 2007

im exciteddd


Posted by SammyLynn Jan 30th 2007

Yay, so there should be at least ONE good actor in the seventh movie! ;) Hopefully Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, and Alan Rickman return, as well.


Posted by Smarty_Roxy Jan 30th 2007

Jason Isaacs is the best actor they could've ever chosen for Lucius Malfoy! I have no idea what to criticize, so I'm glad he wants in for movie 7.


Posted by dudley Jan 30th 2007

Yeah i never thought theyd be able to get the malfoys right for some reason...well done lol! yeah i agree about the Equus thing *laughs*


Posted by HPluver13 Jan 30th 2007

Hope he does show up in the seventh movie! (Top 10?)


Posted by AccioSeverus Jan 30th 2007

yay i love jason isaacs.


Posted by fgm Jan 30th 2007

i hope he is too!!


Posted by mandie2010 Jan 30th 2007

I really hope that JKR writes Lucius Malfoy in book seven because I think he makes things interesting. And!!! I love Jason Isaacs and would love to see more of him in the films.


Posted by psycho2007 Jan 30th 2007

wow lucius is cute lol i hope he is in the 6th book


Posted by Alice_W Jan 30th 2007

Hope he makes it into the seventh movie. He's terrific as Lucius Mafoy!


Posted by Mikeys_girl Jan 30th 2007

I love him and i hate him... hes a coool character but hes mean..... but oh well... i guess i'm hoping that he will be in the 7th book... toodles!


Posted by joshholly Jan 30th 2007

I don't see how he could not be in the 7th book. There is going to be an all out war. An epic good against evil. I think that all the main characters will show their faces. But who knows with an adaptation, if he will be in the 7th movie.


Posted by Regulus_Black Jan 30th 2007

I hope he is in the 7th film - he's a good actor and portrays Lucius Malfoy with the exact attitude and posture as i had imagined him from the books. I agree with joshholly - it's probably going to be an all out war, and so Lucius will probably break out and become involved some how


Posted by mary_v Jan 30th 2007

OH I love Jason Isaacs! But I definitely think he'll be in the final book/movie; Malfoy has to die, right?


Posted by SuperShinyFace Jan 30th 2007

Okay, I know I'm the only grammar fascist out here, but it should be " 'bated breath" rather than "baited breath." That's short for "abated," and not some kind of indication that his breath smells like fish-bait.


Posted by ReallyTired Jan 30th 2007

Jason Isaacs is by far one of my favorite actors, and I really hope he gets to be in the final movie.


Posted by HPFREAK7 Jan 30th 2007

Jason Isaacs is probably the best actor that could have played Lucius.. i hope he does come back.. even if its only for like 5 min!!!!! and mary_v you are right.. malfoy does have to die


Posted by MeNotHer Jan 30th 2007

i really dont know. I like Isaacs, but the only way i could see him with a part is to have a mass breakout from Askaban, which I dont want!


Posted by IwannameetJK Jan 30th 2007

It's great to hear the actors are as excited about the book and its characters as we are! Regardless of paycheck ;P No one could portary Lucius better! He's AWESOME! He really makes me want to HATE him! I think he will be in book 7, and that he will die, but I think Draco will live, he (Draco) couldn't kill Dumbledore... and he knows love, for his family - he has some good in him, I think JK will really make his character grow even more in this final book!


Posted by muggleatuniv Jan 30th 2007

Didn't we already get a news report once before in which Isaacs said this? He just keeps repeating himself then? If I'm not incorrect, this really isn't informative. It's just redundant. Sorry. Otherwise, I really like knowing the characters like Harry Potter too.


Posted by doodles_and_spuds Jan 30th 2007

Yay! i lurrve him! glad hes luking 4ward 2 it aswell!!! i find the villains way more intrestin than the goodies!....especially if the baddy is hot!! *evil giggle*


Posted by pottercrazy107 Jan 30th 2007

Responding to what dudley said about the Pictures I had to sit down becasue WOW !!! amo a alguien como el. Nadien mas podria hacer el papel del papa de Draco. Hope he returns for the seventh book.


Posted by hpwiz812 Jan 30th 2007

yes! something harry potter related that doesnt make me feel like a freaking pervert....anyways, i agree with jason, lucious better appear in the 7th book....i actually think he will as it is the 7th book and at this point everything is possible....


Posted by magnoliabones Jan 30th 2007

wow, i could not watch that entire talk show if my life depended on it. what an annoying laugh, how could that man have become famous?


Posted by auror1470 Jan 30th 2007

I hope we see him too. He is deliciously wicked!


Posted by bookboy Jan 30th 2007

BOOK 7!


Posted by sorceress22 Jan 30th 2007

i hope he does stay, i really do think he's wonderful as evil Lucius


Posted by Silverswan Jan 30th 2007

I hate Judy from Richard and Judy.


Posted by gryffindorcutie91 Jan 30th 2007

I love him SO much! He is such a good actor!


Posted by Neptune Jan 30th 2007

While all the girls are drolling over Dan, here I am drolling over that video clip of Jason. He is so yummy and funny to boot!!!


Posted by herm_own_ninny24 Jan 30th 2007

He plays his part so well.... but I don't think begging will help much... She just needs to do the story how she has been planning to do it, he shouldn't expect her to change it just for him.


Posted by ChatNoir Jan 30th 2007

how about some equus photos of jason isaacs? :D he's great :)


Posted by HPbrownLove1 Jan 30th 2007

cool hope hes in the 7th book. i also hope he gets some information about whether or not he gets out, because then we'll all know atleast something else that happens in the 7th book.


Posted by horcrux17 Jan 30th 2007

Well, I don't see any reasons why he -wouldn't be in DH. He's one of the most re-occuring villians in the series. It wouldn't be fair if he didn't get his share. And, hey! It would make the book longer, too!!


Posted by SiriusEqualsLuv Jan 30th 2007

...... you want to be in book seven, WE GET IT.


Posted by hplvr92 Jan 30th 2007

Ha, thats so cool, i absolutely love jason isaacs. hes so into the roles, its just awesome. there is no one who could possibley play mr malfoy better than him.


Posted by Ronaldweasley Jan 30th 2007

What a sad desperate strange little man....lol


Posted by Wot_Wot Jan 30th 2007

Hehe, that's funny. And he is a good actor, so I hope so, too. It is nice to see that some of the actors are Potter-Fans, as well.


Posted by r4v3ncl4w Jan 30th 2007

SuperShinyFace, you're not the only grammar nazi in here. It's "BATED breath"--not "baited." Indeed--were his breath "baited," it would likely smell fairly undesirable.


Posted by Nameless Jan 30th 2007

He's a really good Lucius. I honestly couldn't imagine many other actors doing any better.


Posted by vnvsnape Jan 30th 2007

MMmmm...Luscious Lucius...I'm surprised how normal he seems in "real life" because almost all the characters he plays are so eeevil...teehee


Posted by GrownUpChick Jan 30th 2007

Jason, my darling, I love you, but.....LUCIUS MUST DIE!!!!!! Ha Ha! But, siriusly, I believe Lucius will be in book seven. Jo has to put him in it so she can kill him off. Looking forward to it!


Posted by SomebodyElse Jan 30th 2007

Heh heh . . . I think JKR will have to include Lucius Malfoy somehow in Deathly Hollows (finally we don't have to call it "book seven" anymore!) as it's the last book and she has to wrap up all her loose ends.


Posted by HPDH2007 Jan 30th 2007

Anyone think JKR will tell us the release date tomorrow (1/31/07) because its her half birthday and harry's as well?


Posted by muggleatuniv Jan 30th 2007

HPDH2007: No. It's way too soon. I personally don't think the book will come out until summer 2008 no matter how much I want it to come now. It takes a long time to publish a book, after all.


Posted by scurvy_cur Jan 30th 2007

wooh Jason Isaacs rocks my socks! he's a great Lucius! I'm pretty sure he has nothing to worry about, Lucius needs to have his story tied up he cant just stay stuck in Azkaban forever!
