Jim Broadbent To Play Horace Slughorn In ‘Half-Blood Prince’
Jim Broadbent will play Horace Slughorn in the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
The Oscar-winner confirmed his new role as the Hogwarts potion master to DarkHorizons.com.
In the interview, Broadbent called Slughorn “quite a comic character” and says he has had “endless costume fittings” of “[t]weedy sort of things with a bit of padding.”
Broadbent won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “Iris” in 2002, and is best-known for roles in “Moulin Rouge” and the “Bridget Jones” films. He will also appear in the fourth Indiana Jones movie.
“Half-Blood Prince,” the sixth Harry Potter film, is set to begin filming shortly. It will hit theatres November 2008.
