Actor Jason Isaacs is the subject of a new interview with Liverpool magazine and mentions his hope that he will return as Lucius Malfoy for the film version of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." In a series of question and answers Jason, who is currently filming " La Conjurade El Escorial" in Spain, notes he is in this new movie "with puffy velvet trousers, a director who doesn’t speak English, and a very itchy beard; new photos from a press day for the film here. Jason Isaacs also says he is awaiting news of his return to the Harry Potter films among other things. Some excerpts:

"The next thing I am up to is a lot of waiting: waiting to see if Brotherhood goes to a third season (it’s up to the network-they own me for six years); waiting to see if “Stopping Power (a car chase film I starred in with John Cusack but that fell apart due to money trouble) starts again as rumoured; waiting to do publicity for “Good” a film I’ve just finished with Viggo Mortensen; waiting to see if I’m in Harry Potter 7 (I’m in the book but who knows what gets cut to make 900 pages into a film). Or none of the above. That’s what’s exciting."
"If I could rewind time, I’d stop trying to be dark and interesting and just decide to be happier. Have a lot more sex, travel more, watch less television…avoid some of the worst 70s fashion aberrations."
"The things that always make me smile are my two little girls, Larry David, catching my wife welling up with tears while listening to tragically cheesy pop songs."
"If I had more time I’d have dozens of kids, build an orphanage, be a black belt, play the saxophone, freefall, learn Chinese, roam the world with 5 (British pounds),a penknife and some sticky backed plastic. Think of a better answer."

Thanks Cara!

Mr Isaacs is such a great guy! I loved the part about his “wife, welling up with tears, while listening to some tragically “cheesey” pop song” He’s a real card, and I hope he comes back to Deathly Hallows! HE’s great!

Too bad Lucius is in Azkaban for HBP, he was so brilliant in the last one! Please, please bring Isaacs back in DH!

You're both mental

If Jason Isaacs isn’t in the DH the movie, I’m not going to watch it! He’s one of the very few actors in the movie that was perfectly casted!

Pics, great; statements, fantastic! Amy S., I am totally there with you, we have to have Lucius at Malfoy Manner, it just won’t be Deathly Hallows without him!

Side note – Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortensen in a movie, WOW! That is just yummy squared! Can’t wait to see that “Good” movie!

Can he speak spanish then? He must be really good if he’s making a film in another language!

Aww, I know how his wife feels about songs like that! I’ve been occasionally guilty of welling up over the ‘cheese’ myself!

The thing he said about wanting to see the koran being made into a movie so that he can have an opinion about it without reading it was odd. He is not going to be in hbp. I forget about that.

OH, I love Jason. He is gorgeous and he better be in Deathly Hallows. Although I do wonder how he’ll feel about the cane being destroyed. I wonder if Voldemort will take the whole cane, or just the wand part. Haha, imagine Voldy with Luci’s cane!
