In a new interview, Billy Nighy talks about his role as Rufus Scrimgeor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

“It came about simply because they asked me, finally, to be a wizard – I thought I was going to be the only English actor of a certain age who wasn’t in Harry Potter but now that turns out not to be the case,” he said.  “I know most of the cast, I’ve worked with most of them at some point or another. They were all very generous and it was a really nice job,” he said.

“I am working again with David Yates, who I’ve worked with four times altogether now and I love working with him. And it was nice to see Julie Walters, who I sort of started out with.”

Bill also met stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.  “It was great working with Daniel and all the guys and they were very very good fun. They all made me very welcome, because they’ve all been together for years and years and years,” he added.
