Simon McBurney cast as Kreacher in Deathly Hallows
We've learned that the casting agency representing actor Simon McBurney lists him as having the role of Kreacher in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.Presumably he will just be lending his voice for the character. McBurney has also starred in such films as The Golden Compass and The Duchess.
Thanks to Val for the tip!

Thats cool but what happened to the person who provided his voice in OotP?
Hardly talked in OOtP so could've been anyone, having a bigger role in this one they had to pick a person more extensivly and detailed who they thought could do the job. Odd, you can't say for this casting he looks exactly as I imagined him lol :P
Hmm, very interesting... good to hear that he'll be in the movie, though! This means we'll see Grimmauld Place again!
awesome theyve cast someone to voice Kreacher but its stupid its the same guy from Order of the Phoenix
sry i meant to say its stupis its not the same guy from Order of the Phoenix
Hopefully he sounds like a Kreacher. :)
Interesting. Not all that surprising that they went with someone different, instead of bringing Timothy Bateson back for the role. It'll be interesting to see how much of Kreacher's scenes they keep from the book. It's good to know he'll make the cut. I just hope they don't change his, or Dobbies, CGI too much.
Well, that sucks that it's not the same guy from OOTP....well, I just hope he does a good Kreacher....by the way, a random question...was the same guy that played Fudge in COS come back for POA, GOF, and OOTP?? Thanks!
Robert Hardy has played Fudge in all the films you see him in : ) I hope he makes an appearance in HBP too
Robert Hardy
Fudge or Scrimgeour are neither going to be in HBP. and Fudge isnt seen in DH
Yea I wish it was the same guy too.
That guy doesn't look like he would have the right voice, but i could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. lol.
WICKED!! I was just watching a movie called "Friends with Money" and Simon and Jason Isaccs are both in it!! What a small world that he's now cast in a Harry Potter film! I've seen him in practically ALL his movies and he's a brilliant actor, but he also usually plays soft spoken, nice guys so we'll see how he does with Kreacher. lol.
I like him in the golden Compass, and I like it. So I like to see it in the DH.
well all i can say is he better do a good job! :)
"That guy doesn't look like he would have the right voice" come now... let's be real. And people complaining about the lack of continuity. Kreacher said all of two sentences in OotP and half of it was in the background, mumbled. Let's wait until November 2010 to judge.
why arent they using the guy from OotP?
krazykobra------>maybe bc that guy didnt want to do it again? they cant force him to do it
GUYS! Its like the same with Griphook. Griphook is being played by Warwick Davis, the same person who plays Flitwick. The Griphook who was in #1 was Mini-me from Austin Powers. Instead, Mini-me is STILL gonna be in Deathly Hallows, as he is the motion-capture for Dobby. Wierd, eh? But its true. I have faith in him. Think of The Simpsons people... I mean, Nancy Cartwright! Hehe =D
Timothy Bateson, who voiced Kreacher in OOTP, is 83. Perhaps this is a factor!
