Bill Nighy excited to work with Yates on Deathly Hallows
Bill Nighy, who is set to play Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, recently did an interview with ComingSoon.net about working with director David Yates. "I was with him when he got the job a couple of years ago," Nighy told us earlier today, "and I said, 'Oh, well maybe now I won't be the only English actor who's not in Harry Potter' - that was like five years ago. Anyway, I finally made it under the wire. We may have talked about it before, but he's one of the most gifted directors I've ever worked with. He's a quiet genius, David Yates. I'm delighted and very pleased I'm going to be in 'Harry Potter,' but I'm doubly pleased because it's with David."

Bill Nighey will make a wonderful scrimgeor! He is a fantastic actor who will bring the right qualaties to the role! Im so glad that so many talented british actors are in not just the best british films ever made that is HP, but the world!
ahha! I KNEW he was going to be Scrimgeor! I can see him looking the part..... next up for analyzing --- his acting.... but when he said he was going to have a small part in the movies -- I knew it would be that of scrimgeor :)
yay!! hes great! was kinda hoping to see him in hbp tho...ah well!
i loved Bill Nighy in Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean and Love Actually. and i think he would do a wonderful job as Scrimgeour. Sadly, i think that would be something like a 5 minute role...
bill nighy is awesome. But I hope the director doesn't scr3w up, they should stay true to the looks for once. I hope they give him a lion like look.
Great, this is just what I wanted! I've loved Bill Nighy since "Still Crazy".
