Greyback actor talks about his role
Greyback actor talks about his role Dave Legeno is set to play the part of Fenrir Greyback in Half-Blood Prince. The 44-year-old spoke to The Star saying, "Daniel will be taking his own 17 stone monster in this film - me."

The fighter, known as The Legend Killer for his giant-slaying ways, added: "He is a lovely guy but let's just say he will have his hands full when I get hold of him."

I take Harry Potter very siriusly I have to know ever detail just got to memorize book 6 and 7


Posted by phoenixknight Mar 17th 2008

yeah, me too. it's more than just a fantasy....strip all the magic and fiction and what do you get? a real-world situation of politics and prejudice and etc. One critic said that Harry Potter is one of the best post-9/11 books out there, that many ppl don't even know it!


Posted by catefinnigan Mar 17th 2008

Shouldn't this story's category be Movie 6? It's filed under Movie 5 right now. lol


Posted by trueligth Mar 17th 2008

welcome to the Potter's Series family, I hope the Fenrir give us a good fight in the sixth and seventh films.

Can't cut out Bill! Anyway, this guy seems great as Fenrir.. with grey and long hair. ;) (that's how he is in my imagintaion) Anyway. can't wait for HBP!!


Posted by Dementress Mar 18th 2008

darn.....! He's ripped! O_O Can't wait to see how he'll turn out!


Posted by sootyface Mar 18th 2008

Just a note to any non-uk folk: The Star is a tabloid, much like the mirror. They aren't exactly a reliable resource. All the same, this made me laugh. I wish they were having Bill and Fleur. Surely now that they're splitting DH they have enough time to play with to have them in there? Sigh.


Posted by Dementress Mar 18th 2008

"Darn"? Wtf? That wasn't the expression I wrote......


Posted by kalb Mar 18th 2008

I'm sure the scene will be good, but the actor sounds like an idiot.


Posted by bscorp Mar 18th 2008

Am I the only one wondering why there's a picture of Sirius Black at the top of this article instead of -oh say- the actual actor who plays Greyback?


Posted by starlette804 Mar 18th 2008

OMG I CAN'T WAIT TIL THE FILM COMES OUT!!!!! I'm soooo excited!! And Dave Legeno looks PERFECT for the part! I'm so anxious to see him with all the werewolf makeup on it's going to be SO cool!!


Posted by TrixyLeStrange Mar 18th 2008

Oh my god, why oh why must they continuously cast the hottest possible people for the most evil of characters? I love the looks of this guy he'll fit right in among Tennant, Issacs, Fiennes, Coulson, and Felton. If only Rodolphus and Rabastan were cast... I'm thinking that since Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Star Trek 08, and Run Fat Boy Run) wants very badly to be in a Potter movie then he would make an ideal Rabastan... And for Rodolphus I'm thinking Martin Freeman (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)


Posted by str8_up_lee Mar 19th 2008

I NOE!! the hotties are baad!! lol i wish theyd put bill in cuz he should be HOOOTTTTTT STUFFFFF!!!!


Posted by kerrman2004 Mar 20th 2008

phoenixknight for gods sake relax you are like the most angry person ever! For your information Bill Weasley isn't even in the film so Greyback won't be attacking him. Harry's encounter with Greyback is in the added scene thats not in the book where Greyback and Bellatrix set the Burrow on fire and there is a big chase scene in the woods next to the Burrow. SO HA!


Posted by str8_up_lee Mar 20th 2008

how do u noe that there wont be noe bill? cuz thats gay then! but accorsing to the books pheonixknight WAS rite tho


Posted by kerrman2004 Mar 20th 2008

Everyone knows that there will be no Bill in HBP because they already announced that there will be no Fleur and he is not in the credits at all on any offical website (such as imdb.com) If Bill was going to be in it they would have cast him already and announced who the actor is at least. They would have announced Bill when they announced the actor playing Greyback. That was their last chance really. They've been filming for ages I think they are way past casting people now.


Posted by str8_up_lee Mar 21st 2008

that sux :( i hate all these movies to tell the truth... they should be like the books i dunno y they feel the need to change evryting


Posted by SlytherinBabe Mar 21st 2008

he looks so perfect for the part and he is pretty hot!!!


Posted by heronxobsessed74 Mar 23rd 2008

Huh?? 17 stone monster? Is that a phrase I don't know or what? I found this excerpt to be a little confusing ... I'll read the whole interview and see if it makes a bit more sense.


Posted by heronxobsessed74 Mar 23rd 2008

Okay, apparently you CAN'T read the whole interview ... then I don't get it at all.

Harry learned quickly not to feel too sorry for the gnomes. He decided just to drop the first one he caught over the hedge, but the gnome, sensing weakness, sank its razor-sharp teeth into Harry's finger and he had a job shaking it off — until — "Wow, Harry — that must've been fifty feet..."

Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 3, Page 37
