Jason Isaacs who portrays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies recently
gave an interview where he discussed his return to the screen in Deathly Hallows.
Mr. Isaacs tells that he his surprised when he is recognized, being a fan of Helen McCrory, meeting J.K. Rowling and begging her to have his character return to the series and when he will start filming the next movie.
What was it like to pick up the final Harry Potter book when it came out and not know what was in there, especially for you?
Isaacs: I'm not quite strong enough to pick up a book of that weight. I had a couple of people to help me, and a winch. The secret can be out now. Before it came out I wasn't quite sure – there was a point where I wasn't sure I was going to do anymore because there wasn't much for me to do in number five and I wasn't in number six. I met Jo Rowling for the first time at a big awards dinner. I went over and basically fell to my knees and said "Get me out of prison, I beg you." She looked over her shoulder and looked back at me mouthing "You're out. Chapter One." And that was it, that's all I had to know, and I signed up immediately.

Well I glad that they won’t be cutting Lucius. I hope that Dh movies at least should contain a good deal of book cannon.

I'm so glad they weren't nuts enough to write Lucius out of the movie script. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him.
What a humoristic way of asking Rowling if he was going to be in the last book. He's a great actor off screen and on.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Yay! Awsome! I can't wait to see him in the movie! That was funny in how he asked J.K if he was going to be in it. He is a great actor though.

Jason Isaacs is hilarious, almost all the Harry Potter actors have great senses of humour. I'd be just as undignified if I was meeting JK, falling to my knees and kissing her shoes etc.
I promise I'd ask her first. ;)

"Get me out of prison, I beg you." I wish I could seen that. Isaacs plays the part of Lucius well. It would be a shame if he is not in the final HP movies for the big finish of the series.

That is actually really very funny, that he begged Jo to put him in DH. And her answer was sharp and witty- I see so much of the trio in her, a lot of Hermione, particularly.

Thats awesome! I love that he actualy begged her, that is so unlike Lucius, he, on the other hand, would threaten her with a curse. l.o.l.

Jason Issacs is an awesome actor (and very studly too!). It was hilarious to hear that story of him begging Jo to let 'him' out of jail and her mouthing it back for his peace of mind. Ha ha, very cute!
