Guy Henry has been cast as Minister for Magic Pius Thicknesse in Deathly Hallows.  Guy sent a report to the host of a BBC radio talk show confirming that he will play the new Minister in the final films (that segment starts at 1:15 into the broadcast).

“I’ve done the deal so I’m allowed to say, I’m going to be Pius Thicknesse! The new Minister of Magic in the final two Harry Potter films. Very exciting. First day of filming, July 27th!”

Thanks SS!
