Jason Isaacs says he’s proud of playing Lucius Malfoy, but he’ll be soon forgotten by new ‘Harry Potter’ series

London, Apr 26 (UNI) English actor Jason Isaacs, best known for portraying Lucius Malfoy in the ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise, said that while he is proud of his association with the character, he will be soon forgotten when the newly announced ‘Harry Potter’ series by WB airs.
The ‘Awake’ actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s proudly taking every opportunity to talk about the character he portrayed in six feature films before the J.K Rowling -created franchise is adapted into an HBO series.
“I have to say I'll milk this ‘cause this time next year, there's gonna be another Lucius Malfoy, and he's gonna be fantastic, and I'll be long forgotten. So, I am savoring every other applause I get,” the 61-year-old said in the THR’s Awards Chatter podcast.
However, he had no ill will or any conceit in his comments, and he made it clear. “It's not me trying, fishing for compliments or more applause. I'm just saying they are making the TV series, and it will be brilliant,” he explained.
Isaacs, who apart from his role as the Death Eater and father of Harry’s enemy Draco Malfoy has also voiced the Grand Inquisitor in ‘Star Wars: Rebels’, and Ra’s Al Ghul in the animated film ‘Batman: Under The Red Hood’, said: “And I will be, you know, like, just like I'm now last season's ‘White Lotus’ actor, I will be the last iteration of Lucius Malfoy, and that's fine by me.”
The actor added: “I've had a good run.”
Warner Bros. Discovery first announced its plans for a new ‘Harry Potter’ series in April 2023, with Bloomberg reporting that each season of the show would be based on one of Rowling’s books, starting with ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone’ and ending with ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’.
While the new Harry, Ron and Hermione have yet to be announced, the supporting cast will include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Luke Thallon as Professor Quirinus Quirrell and Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch. A new actor for Lucius has not been announced yet. It is unknown if any of the original cast will be appearing in the series.
