To follow up on another interview that Jason Isaacs did back in November
, he recently elaborated on filming his scenes with Gary Oldman for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
I get to have a wand battle with Gary Oldman, possibly my favorite actor in the universe. We get to play around like two 10 year olds. And with kind of unlimited sci-fi imagination. It's fun. We just go, 'Well, how about if I ... .' And anything you finish that sentence with, they go, 'Yeah, OK. You can do that.' So it was magnificent.
He also jokingly mentions begging author, JK Rowling, to add his character to the last book as well as ideas on his character:
I fell to my knees and begged. It didn't do any good. I'm sure she doesn't need plot ideas from me. But I made my point. We'll see. Like everybody else, I'm holding my breath to July to see what's in there. I just want to bust out of prison, that's all. I don't want to stay in Azkaban most of my life.
The Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movies opens on July 13.

It sounds as if he really had fun doing that scene. I don't blame him for wanting to escape from Azkaban - I want to see Lucius back in book 7. ^..^

"I'm holding my breath to July to see what's in there"
I'm a bit confused there. Does that mean DH comes out in July? Cause he's talking about the future of his character and finding out about it... Or maybe it was the journalist who mixed things up?

Well sounds good after all imagination and fun are the best components an actor can bring for a scene, if he has all other things you need. And sounds totally good for the quality of the film!

Haha! Sounds like they had fun. :) I think she'll let him out. Lucius has to get out of Azkaban for the end.

Who is that, oh, you guys say it is Lucious? Okay that makes sense. I think he is really good actor for Malfoy's father. Way to go!

Yay love him!! He is the perfect Malfoy...........I think that's hilarious what Jason said about "falling to my knees and begging" part, that was in one of his rescent interviews I think. I forgot Malfoy was still in prison...which is a good thing of course...Can't wait for the seventh book!!!!!!!!

Very good insight. Intresting mention of waiting until July to know. I wonder if he has some hints on a release date. If we go much longer there will not be time for a July release.

Yeah, I was wondering why he mentioned July too?! Maybe just from the speculation that the book will come out then, or maybe he has the inside scoop!

He's very funny. I hope he gets his wish and we find out what happens to Lucius as well as the rest of the characters in The Deathly Hallows. He said he's holding his breath unitl July, Does he know something nobody else does?

I am really looking forward to the next movie to see how it looks compared to what I think it should look from reading the books. As much as I don't like Malfoy's father, I don't think I would like to see him in prison for the last battle. I think he will finally see the truth about Voldemort and may actually help out the "good" side for a change.

It is great to hear from some of the older actors in the movie. It is funny to hear from him cause he is so different from lucious malfoy. I too hope JK wraps up what happens to the Malfoy family after the dust falls.

I do hope he comes back as well. He is one of my favorite characters. And I will be honest, like Draco and the Malfoys say, "Draco's dad is sexy when he's made." Hahaha, I couldn't help myself. :D
