We've Got Scrimgeour!

Bill Nighy, who was quoted earlier saying, "I don't think I'm allowed to say it but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film", has been confirmed to play the part of Rufus Scrimgeour.

Here's what he said to the CBBC Newsround,

The 59-year-old, who once joked he was the "only British actor who hasn't been in Harry Potter", told reporters of his new role at a book festival launch.

"I am in the next Harry Potter," he told reporters.

"I will be Rufus Scrimgeour, who is the Minister of Magic and he is a very very important man."

Yay Scrimgeour!
