Jason Isaacs Cameo as Lucius Malfoy in "Half-Blood Prince"

Actor Jason Isaacs has given a new interview to MTV where he confirms he took part in a one day filming in his role as Lucius Malfoy for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Jason says that as his character is off in Azkaban prison during the course of the HBP book, he did not think he would be in movie six (“It absolutely killed me” he said). However, now he has confirmed that “I’m not [really] in the film [but] I did one day. I went in for a day. “I’m a moving portrait on the wall.” character as Lucius appears as a moving portrait somewhere in the film. Reports of the recent test screenings of HBP which took place last week in Chicago, did not seem to be a mention of this detail, and we are uncertain where in the film his portrait might appear. As a reminder, earlier this year, Jason Isaacs confirmed his return as Lucius Malfoy for the final “Deathly Hallows” movies, which begin production next February.

On a related note, Jason continues work on his television series Brotherhood here in the States, and was recently at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of his new movie, “Good,” which also stars Viggo Mortensen. You can see multiple new photos of Jason at the TFF here in our image galleries.

I love Jason. Looking forward to his “Cameo” in HBP.

Seeing as he is a moving portrait, perhaps the effect has yet to be added to test screenings.

Great Jason, love him as Lucius! Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll have a great part in Deathly Hallows definitely!

LOL – Too bad it isn’t a “Meanwhile, in Azkaban…” scene, featuring Lucius with a harmonica, as joked about on Pottercast aaaaaages ago.

This was obviously missed off the test screenings or it would have been mentioned. I actually wish I didn’t know now as it would have been a nice surprise, like Robert Pattinson was in OoTP.

Yay, I Love Jason Isaacs! I Wonder where we’ll see this portrait? maybe the black sisters dont go to see Snape but instead call him to the Malfoy’s for the vow??? I love to speculate. I can’t wait for this film, it will be the death of me x-)

Thanks for the JasonWatch, Sue! It’s SO nice when the actors really seem to enjoy their roles. Hopefully he’ll get more screentime in DH 1 and 2!

Cripes! Jason Isaac and Viggo Mortensen together? In one film? Seriously? Where will I put my drool cup?

My guess is that his moving portrait is either in The Daily Prophet (behind bars) or in a portrait at Spinner’s End.

THAT was one of my favorite episodes EVER!! He’d still need the metal mug to bang against the bars singing “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen..” While that would be amazingly awesome, I bet the fandom (and a certain Hufflepuff in particular) are really excited!!
