Part of Young Lucius Malfoy Cast for "Half-Blood Prince"
HBP FilmWith filming due to wrap up in the next few weeks for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince casting still is being revealed for the sixth movie. As such, word now comes that the part of a young Lucius Malfoy has been cast for the movie, with the role to be played by Tony Coburn. You can see a photo of this young actor here. Thanks to Alejandro from Bloghowarts.com for emailing regarding a short interview they conducted with the actor, where the 18 year old said his character of the younger Lucius appears in a dinner scene with Professor Slughorn. Other quotes of interest:
BlogHogwarts: Have you read any of the Harry Potter books before getting the role?
Tom Coburn: I hadn't seen any films before or read any books UNTIL i got the role and thought I should watch how Malfoy is and I saw Order of the Phoenix to get an idea of his character. I didnt even need to audition cos they said i looked very much like Jason Isaacs when he was younger so i was picked immediately for Young Lucius Malfoy.
BH: Have you filmed your scenes for 'Half-Blood Prince'? In which scenes are you involved?
TC: The scenes have been shot and was at a dinner scene with Professor Slughorn. I have aslo been an extra in Dumbledore's death scene which was a night shoot.
BH: Who did you work with? Who did you meet?
TC: I acted with Jim Broadbent and was in the death scene with Micheal Gambon, Daniel Radcliffe, Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane.
BH: How did you feel participating in a Harry Potter movie?
TC: Its amazing to be in the film and would never have imagined that I would feature in one, even though the part is small, it's still fantastic fun.
On a related note, we've heard reports that actor Jason Isaacs, who plays the adult Lucius Malfoy, took part in a one day filming for a quick scene in HBP, although that remains very much unconfirmed for now. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in theaters November 21, 2008. Thanks to Tony and Bloghogwarts.

Sounds like he deserves the role. Well done to him. :) He does look slightly like Isaac I must say!
I just don’t understand his part in the death scene…What do you think?
Ooh, I think he’s going to be great. He looks very much like Jason Isaacs, I think. YAY :D
I can’t believe filming is ending in a couple weeks, though! It seems like it just started yesterday lol.
He is probably a Death Eater, or he is a student.
Good job him, even if a young lucius doesn’t really appear in HBP, that’s ok.
Natalie, he is an extra ( in the death scene). We probably won’t even see his face in that part.
Actually, on Feb 10th, in the BAFTAs, Dan said they would still film for twelve weeks more. Those twelve weeks will be completed tomorrow. That means they have probably already finished or will finish next week.
to Rosie- it says that he is going to appear in the memory of Slughorn when Tom riddle was a student- meaning school age Lucius malfoy
but malfoy is like over 20 years younger than tom riddle/voldermort so he can’t be in the memory huh???

Ooooh, I agree he looks perfect for the part! Sounds like it’ll be an interesting alteration from the books, making Voldy and Lucius closer in age.
he looks pretty good for the part but Lucius Malfoy did not go to school with Voldemort. He was a prefect when Harry’s parents came to school. I could see if they were casting him for Hallows so he could be in that second in Snapes memories. Why must the movies always screw things up?

Yay he looks right for the part! Although I would love to see a costume pic of him though.
Nobody else seems to have picked up on the fact that he has not read any of the books – he has just watched OotP film. <_><
Actually it’s not so bad though because Jason Isaacs is perfect canon Lucius in the films so there’s no great urgency for him to read one/more of the books, but it would have been nice for him to make the effort.
He’s perfect for the part…but…i don’t remember young Lucius anywere in the book….maybe I’ m wrong…and yes-excitement grows! Filming is almost done! acording to Emma Watsons calendar(LOL) she has 8 more days of filming. I think we can expect new pics and trailer soon!YAY
Oopsies my emoticon didn’t work =(
Let’s all pretend I wrote that one instead ^
- obliviate -
i dont see the resemblance…or whys hes in the movie… but i guess ill know when the movie comes out..
I think he totally looks like him, but I am also not sure why he would be in the movie…my impression was that Voldemort was WAY older than the others, like 20-30 years, and that Malfoy was older than Snape because when Snape goes to Hogwarts at age 11 Malfoy is already a prefect or head boy or something, practically in charge of Slytherin. I had the impression he was several years older. Narcissa may have been Snape’s year.
In the book, Voldemort is a contemporary of Le Strange, so Bellatrix must have married a (much) older man, unless that was LeStrange’s father. We have no idea how wizards age anyway—Dumbledore was ancient and looked it but maybe not all of them look their ages.
