Slimy Harry Potter villian Lucius Malfoy is set to reappear in Goblet of Fire, according to ic Liverpool.

Actor Jason Isaacs, described by Empire magazine as "Hollywood's Brit villain du jour," is returning to Britain to work on the film, the newspaper reported. The Malfoy character wasn't featured in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but as one of Voldemort's top henchmen, has a more important role in the fourth movie.

In December, Isaacs was lamenting his absence in Azkaban and was unsure about his chances of appearing in Goblet.
