Jason Isaacs, who portrays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, is becoming more like his character he says. In an effort to remain in character he avoids answering his fan mail, he also comments that he’s enjoyed playing Lucius and that he hopes that he will be in the next movie and that author Rowling continues to write Harry Potter books for years to come.
I'm carefully cultivating an entire generation of people who despise me, because when you're in 'Harry Potter' films you get a lot of fan mail... I haven't answered any of it, so they will hate me even more than they did to start with. They probably spent their pocket money sending me a stamped, addressed envelope. Number four is finished. I'm not signed up for number five; I haven't got a script for [it] yet, but I understand I have some things to do in the book and, if they ask me, then I would be hoping to be in it. Because that is good fun, it's ridiculously good fun to dress up as a wizard ... I hope that [JK Rowling] writes it until Harry Potter is 65 years old and on a walking frame.

I guess I haven't written that many celebrities in my life, but the few I did, I never expected them to actually read it or write back (and they didn't as far as I know) - I'm actually surprised that wouldn't be considered "normal" for Isaacs or anyone else on the crew for that matter.

I get what he is saying. I like his acting but I have always seen him as a bad guy. As far as not answering fan mail, I'm surprised any actor has time for that any way.

Now, how can he make a statement like that, and expect HP fans to hate him? I mean, he wants it to go on forever, just like we do!
I could never hate that man. :)

Jason Isaacs is the essence of Lucius Malfoy in the films, he simply does a wonderful job despite the fact that he seems (despite himself) to be a very nice guy. I share his wishes that JK continue with the story although I imagine that it won't happen. (sob).

It's really good to hear someone understand how LUCKY they are to be in a Harry Potter movie! I would love to just be on set and watch everyone! To be in that world would be an amazing experience.

He is very good at playing the bad guy. From Malfoy to Captain Hook to the bad guy in the Patriot. Oooo...he just sends shivers down my spine sometimes. I can't wait to see him in the next movie!

Jason Isaacs could throw dirt at me and I'd still think he's awesome. He's absolutely perfect for the role of Lucius Malfoy and a wonderful actor.

HAHAHA thats funny! I doubt that JKR will be writing HP until he is 65 ... can you imagine 54 HP books?! Hahaha! Anyway - I cant make up my mind if i hink that its a bit over the top to not answer his fan mail or if its actually quite funny thay hes getting into the role so much ...
Hmmm - hard decision!!!

I think that he could play any character convincingly. He was great in Peter Pan. He played both sides of the coin and was wonderful. By this article he seems to show a great sense of humor.

Jason Isaacs, what a funny guy. Why would he want HP fans to despise him, even though he plays a completley evil character, I wouldn't want my fans to dislike me.

You gotta love Jason Issacs! I agree with him, wanting JKR to write HP for many years to come. We love to hate him as Lucius, I can't picture anyone else in the role.

I hope that JK Rowling continues to write Harry Potter books, too. He does make a very good Lucius, and he should continue to be in all the films. I think it's pretty funny that he doesn't answer his fan mail, of course thats probably because I never send anyone fan mail.
