Bill Nighy starts filming on Harry Potter 7 next week [Posted by Dave Haber on Monday, 07/27/09 4:50 pm] [Full Blog] Interviewed on BBC Newsbeat, Pirates of the Caribbean star Bill Nighy, who's also currently appearing in G-Force, let it slip that he starts shooting on Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows next week. Bill said, "I start filming next week and I've been in for costume fittings and things. I can't tell you too much about it because they do literally, I think they kill me or take my house or something if I tell you anything too much. And for good reasons, so that it all comes as a bit of a surprise." Bill has also kidded about finally being cast in a Harry Potter movie. He said, "I was beginning to worry. I was beginning to feel a tiny bit excluded. I think they ran out of English actors. I was the only English actor of a certain age who wasn't in Harry Potter and now I'm in Harry Potter so I'm very happy. I grew up with nearly everybody in the movies, I know all of the people in there, obviously because they're part of the English acting community and it's nice to be a part of it." It is believed that Nighy will be playing the part of Rufus Scrimgeour in the final Harry Potter films. (Info thanks to BBC Newsbeat.)
