Jason Isaacs (Black Hawk Down, The Patriot) has officially signed on to play the role of Lucius Malfoy. He spoke to Empire Online about his character, saying he's "as odious a character as I've ever read and so this year I'll be despised by children the globe over."

He hasn't gotten started on it yet though. Has he even been on set? "No. They're filming, but I don't think I'm allowed to go there until I've signed my secrecy agreement in blood."

The Harry Potter Galleries has copies of the first two photos from the set of the sequel. The photos originally appeared in the Daily Express.

Rumors are swirling about young Daniel Radcliffe's role in the proposed seven Harry Potter films. He spoke to Empire Online about the subject. "At the moment I’m just doing the first two, so I’m just going to take it one step at a time," says Radcliffe. Director Chris Columbus isn't concerned. "Well, if you know the books, every book is one year at Hogwarts and Harry Potter gets older, so it’s perfect. It couldn’t be better," he says. Columbus also commented on the beginning of shooting on the first sequel. "It’s going very well. We’ve got two scenes shot already, which I’ve seen in the editing room, and they look very good. I’ve got some time off now for publicity and then three days after this film is released we’re getting heavily into shooting the second one."

Thanks to Variety.
