In an upcoming exclusive interview
with our friend Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons, actor Jim Broadbent confirms he has been chosen to portray Horace Slughorn in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which coincidentally began principal filming today in the UK.
The actor, who was recently seen in Hot Fuzz, also said he has been going to costume fittings and that his new character is quite comical:
"Who am I? He's called Horace Slughorn. He's a retired teacher of magic who's drawn back out of retirement because he's got some secrets they need in the battle against the Deatheaters..."
Broadbent will also be seen in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Cyrstal Skull.

Oh my gawd. He is just perfect! Almost exactly how I pictured Slughorn. A little less rough around the edges than I imaged, but still the best pick. I wonder if they're going to make him look super big and squishy. That would be so funny.

I saw him last night in Hot Fuzz. He is an excellent actor! He doesn't look the way I imagined Slughorn to look, necessarily, but I like his voice a lot.
