Simon McBurney cast as Kreacher in Deathly Hallows
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?


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Jun 16th 2009

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


Posted by Gryffindor1991 Jun 16th 2009

sry i meant to say its stupis its not the same guy from Order of the Phoenix


Posted by HP1 Jun 16th 2009

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!


Posted by POTTER2006 Jun 16th 2009

Robert Hardy has played Fudge in all the films you see him in : ) I hope he makes an appearance in HBP too


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Jun 16th 2009

Robert Hardy


Posted by Gryffindor1991 Jun 16th 2009

Fudge or Scrimgeour are neither going to be in HBP. and Fudge isnt seen in DH


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jun 16th 2009

Yea I wish it was the same guy too.


Posted by javan_weasley Jun 16th 2009

That guy doesn't look like he would have the right voice, but i could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. lol.


Posted by iwantorlando05 Jun 16th 2009

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.


Posted by trueligth Jun 16th 2009

I like him in the golden Compass, and I like it. So I like to see it in the DH.


Posted by weasleymz02 Jun 16th 2009

well all i can say is he better do a good job! :)


Posted by tomriddle Jun 16th 2009

"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.


Posted by krazykobra29 Jun 16th 2009

why arent they using the guy from OotP?


Posted by stickyson Jun 16th 2009

krazykobra------>maybe bc that guy didnt want to do it again? they cant force him to do it


Posted by elvaldo Jun 16th 2009

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!
