The Daily Record has a new interview with Bill Nighy who will be playing Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour in Deathly Hallows!  In the interview he talks about one scene I know everyone is looking forward to seeing!

One part Bill won’t mind being scared about is Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister for Magic in the final two Harry Potter movies – Deathly Hallows Part 1 and II.  He is currently filming the second, in which his character becomes a father figure to Harry, Hermione and Ron after the death of Dumbledore. Part 1 will be released in November next year with the final Potter film, due out in July 2011.

“Scrimgeour is a tragic figure,” said Bill. “He knows what’s coming. It’s a very moving thing to play. He’s also very powerful and has had a very complicated progress to the top. And he has an interesting relationship with Harry, who views him initially with contempt. But then it’s softened by subsequent events. There’s a scene where he delivers Dumbledore’s legacy to the three children. He gives them all the things Dumbledore has left them, and that’s when it’s indicated he may not be around for much longer.”

Thanks SS!
