There is a short new interview with Dave Legeno, who will be portraying the villainous werewolf Fenrir Greyback in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. UK tabloid The Daily Star has an article where the cage fighter turned actor mentions his role as the loathsome werewolf in the sixth Harry Potter film, and talks briefly about working with actor Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter). In what is described as a “gruesome fight scene,” he says: “Daniel will be taking his own 17 stone monster in this film – me.” The fighter, known as The Legend Killer for his giant-slaying ways, added: “He is a lovely guy but let’s just say he will have his hands full when I get hold of him.” You can see the scan of this article, here courtesy of Snitchseeker.com

OMG! i can’t wait! Everything people are spilling about the movie sounds amazing! i think the movie is gonna be dynamite. i am glad this is gonna be in the movie that way the movie won’t be the romantic-comedy people think it will be. Fenrir’s character is creepy and will make the movie more interesting!

Hehe, sounds good! Hey muggle_born_witch_in_training, I agree completely. This movie sounds really really exciting considering what all’s been coming out, I just can’t wait!! It was one of the best books in the series too, so I’m sure the movie’s going to be amazing!

There’s a guy in IMDb boards who says his friend has been an extra in HBP and apparently Greyback is terrigying. I don’t know if he’s telling the truth but yeah, I can imagine he really will be quite scary.

Was i the only one who got a weird kind of pedophile vibe from Fenrir when I first read HBP? Because I thought they’d play him that kind of creepy!

Kiwi Mc I: I totally got the pedophile vibe too! I think there’s a part where he describes how much he prefers kids or something and I shuddered.

And OMG, David Legeno is so scary looking! I can’t wait to see how he’ll look in full Fenrir garb.

Aww, poor Redbeard. Try this: it’s nine months. Think of it as having a baby…only, y’know, without the morning sickness, stretch marks, back pain, hormonal freakiness, labor and sleep deprivation. :D
