The Lighter Side of "Lucius Malfoy"

[Superiorer]

Lucius Malfoy is nothing compared with Zhao.

[sunrisesunset51]

I'm crying with laughter, love this

[theblackdahlia88]

He is Lucius Malfoy!...no one could do it better! and I love the way he says Lu'c'ius and not the American way with the slurr sound!

"Your scar is legend, as is the wizard who gave it to you"

[luanluan2006]

I love the fact that he has a indepth knowledge of the books.

[MissMeMuchNow]

The way he transitions between accents is fabulous. I adore Jason <3

[littlemisshedgehog]

Jason came up with the look? And here I was thinking I couldn't love him more. ♥ ♥ ♥

[nyakosan]

@littlemisshedgehog yeah lucius never actually had long hair it was jason who suggested it to the costumers :-)

[THECheeseTurkey]

I never knew that he really defined the character. I love him about 50 times more than I already did...which was a lot.

[Zephyesa]

very smooth confident man, but likeable too

[KeyMrLock]

This was filmed with someones shit.

[royalfuschia]

ha! great american accent!

[VirgiliaCoriolanus]

Is it normal to say that the only reason I watch the second film is that beginning clip in the bookshop? He was amazing.

[Pholus]

It took many years, but that's it - I'm finally starting to see Lucius Malfoy as hot. And Jason Isaacs is incredibly funny, though I DO miss the long blonde hair. :>

[MyAbcd12345678]

4:45 - 4:50 LOL

[MyAbcd12345678]

from 5:40 - 5:47 that was hilarious

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

My mom freaked out when she realized the hot dad from Peter Pan played Lucius.

[unnatural6edq]

Jason and Alan are both utterly adorable men and have very similar personalities. Jason is so...edible!

[HPBehindTheScenes]

Can we get Jason Isaacs and Alan Rickman talking at the same time please?

[Alexander82211]

You know you are a great actor when your character gets more fans that it deserves. Lucius is a vile and cruel man and he does not deserve so many fans but thanks to Isaacs wonderful protrayal of Lucius, it has fans.

[twilightlollol]

good dam* hes hot

[TheSkunkLady]

LOL this was so funny! XD

"How 'bout I can run around, snap a couple 'a necks, and stab you right through the chest with it?!"

"Yeah...okay...maybe later!"

XD

[Chapstick817]

They say that Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz, was one of the warmest, kindest, friendliest actors of the set of that movie. I've seen a few interviews with Jason Isaacs and I'm getting the same vibes from him. :) Clearly it takes an especially nice person to play a great villain.

[gaspandsaywhat]

@Chapstick817 I think it's cuz they have such fun with it.

[MrsNorris55]

@gaspandsaywhat AND ... neither seems to have those seriously inflated egos that affect so many in the business -- they can laugh at themselves!

[gaspandsaywhat]

@MrsNorris55 So true. For the ego part, I believe that all of the HP cast are down to earth because this franchise just jumped on them. They weren't expecting anything in the beginning, most of them just loved acting and I believe a love for something in place of a desire for riches makes anyone happy.

[TheKRTV]

Uhhh....sexy or what?

[Dratini999]

I want a threesome with him and Alan Rickman

[TheHabboJunk]

@Dratini999 Sick.



[Dratini999]

@TheHabboJunk why there both hot xD

[LilaLovegood1]

@KissMeQuenly yayayaya! Another avpm/s fan!

[bowieluver1]

am I the only one who loves this man and the only one who would fuck him? :]

[angelvice100]

@bowieluver1 i think most people would lmao :) i certainly would haha

[JasperDotCom]

@bowieluver1 I WOULD.

[KissMeQuenley]

Lucius Malfoy, why have you called us here? Wah!

[krazy4kris]

He's so dedicated!!! It's amazing!!!!

[queenzakiya91]

Lol he does a really good impression of Gary oldman

[PinballWizard127]

"is there something wronge with youre leg" aha

[JxL483]

and he never did get his big break out of prison :(

[JxL483]

:( The wig....i mean..he's an attractive man as it is...but that wig made him literally breathtaking

[JankeyL]

I'm so jealous!!!

[JankeyL]

I love the wig too!

[thatbrandofgeek]

'just be cool. don't beg her.....' hahaha 'get me out of prison, i'm begging you!' HAHAHAHA

[Krazytangerines97]

i love him :D

[robotpanda77]

Wow he really brought some great ideas to the table. Bravo.

[withintemptationrock]

I never laughed so much during an interview! He really is a great man i admire him!

[uzumakinaruto1613]

"oh I kicked him down the stairs"

[Nielle23]

Do you know where I can find the rest of this?

[willeecoyotee]

He was great in the Patriot with Mel Gibson

[sanfrancisco1967]

I like it when Jason does Chris Columbus's American accent.

[1channy4ever]

I used to think that his hair was really like lucius's malfoy's :D

[thepurpleroom1]

When he touches Harry's head with the snake cane, he looks like he has a hook hand which is strange because he played Capt. Hook in Peter Pan.

[FROSTEDxSHREDDIES]

omg he is so cool i love him!

hahaa

[Gahoyify]

I want him to do a few twirls so badly....XD

(I love a V.Potter Musical)

[SakuraiMei]

God, this man is my ultimate fantasy.

[emcee2456]

I'm glad he didn't go with the pinstripe suit and the salt and pepper hair. I wouldn't love Lucius that much if they did.

[ipodtouch648]

i agree xRWTYx his blond hair is soo sexy

[stroberimanisrasanya]

Wow he really loves his character :)

[FantasmaLuna]

I take it Jason had fun playing this role! XD

[BTVSBlackIris]

I want to see Jason Isaacs and Gary Oldman having a wand battle :)

[06101988narayandivya]

@BTVSBlackIris watch the fifth HP film...they do have a wand-battle and Sirius (Gary's character) totally kicks Lucius Malfoy's butt (Jason' character)...

[BTVSBlackIris]

@06101988narayandivya That was an innuendo :)

[D119heavy]

wow I just realized that Jason Isaacs also plays the gay director in one of the recent episodes of Entourage who fires the hot model from a photo shoot with Vince cause he wants to bang Vince himself and didnt want the hot model competing with him, lol

[uncommoname]

wow.fantasy hot dad!lol

[omgisawafreakindog]

I love the look on the ladys face when he tells them the sell Lucius Malfoy canes =D

[Kimber2011]

" 'OW 'BOUT I COULD RUN AROUND, SNAP A COUPLE O' NECKS, AND STAB 'IM RIGH' THROUGH THE CHEST WIF IT!"

"Yeah, okay... maybe later."

[WhatTela]

wow i get more and more impressed... the cast is freaking genius... i didnt know that he was the guy who played in The Patriot.. and helena bonham carter, alan rickman,.... wow

[iswim1457]

YES!!! Jason is a freakin GENIUS!!! The pimp cane!!! YES!!!

[PredragTV]

EVERYONE in harry potter should be played by alan rickman... :P

[Merindathestar]

@PredragTV LOL NO.

[ellezeigcruz]

he's going to prison?

[nmbr1cub]

dude the darker side of lucius malfoy however would be in the patriot

[shazam15]

I think I would feel very threatned if someone put a cane that close to my forehead.

[Lynn15]

Jason is great! So hilarious!

[MsMeganonymous]

i actually love looking in those magazines on the plane because i actually do see them always selling harry potter wands and lucius's cane. i want to buy one SO bad!!!

[ccm800]

hot

[emmawatsonfan1998]

he is alot nicer then they make him look dude woah~!

[hakudoushinumber9]

that would have been awesome to have seen some neck snapping and stabbings would have gotten rid of a few key villains in that battle. LMFAO

[ahsdjil]

ahh the best choice for Lucius Malfoy. absolument parfait!

[distant2sun]

This is such a nice interview :)

It's nice that they took a step back and let Jason say what he wanted to say, and they were genuinely interested in him. Unlike some interviewers...(*glares at Richard and Judy*)

[bubblet24]

i love how he put a voice on when was saying what Gary had said made me laugh

[WhatYourKiddingRight]

Dresses like a pimp? He *is* a fucking pimp XD

Dobby's his bitch :)

[EmeryFelton]

This has got to be one of the best interviews I have ever seen! I am so glad they made Jason Issacs Lucius. If not,...I can only imagine what it would have been like if someone else had done it. Salt and pepper hair? Seriously? I'm glad he had some great ideas.

[aris224]

Some actors are just born to play the bad guy! He's awesome!

[OfficialKAM159]

lucius malfoy dresses like a pimp lol

[lollipopfop]

How does this man just get hotter every year!

[narayandivya06101988]

the wand battle between jason and gary was just awesome...that's sweet, he names Gary Oldman as his fav actor in the world...jason as lucius is just PERFECT

'The Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter' on the OotP dvd bonus features is narrated by Jason Isaacs...:D

he once jokingly mentioned that the deathly hallows shud be split into 10 parts which would mean that the actors get to spend more time on the whole HP journey!!

[Magrith888]

Great interview! :-)

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

vanessa feltz

[letthemxeatcake]

Does anyone notice how he bears some resemblance to What Not To Wear's Clinton Kelly?

[londoncalling101]

@letthemxeatcake OH MY GOSH YES!!!!!

[marinka678]

Jason is great, think Lucius is one of my favs in the movie because of him :D he's brilliant

[shaybean54]

Thats where I've seen him before! The Patriot!

[Ottawa3453]

He does impersonations of Chris Columbus and Gary Oldman, quality :D

[SSSDZX]

I was pissin my self laughing when Jason said about the Dobby part, I can just see it::::::

*Jason flicks leg out.*

Chris- That's great can we go again? Is the floor slippy?

Jason- No, I just kicked Dobby down the stairs.

*Chris looks confused.* haha gotta love Jason Isaacs and what Gary Oldman said was funny too.

[muggle394]

Omg. The first clip they showed "Voldemort killed my parents." No shit, Harry. Lol I just realised how utterly stupid Daniel Radcliffe sounds in the 1st and 2nd movies.

[maggy284]

THIS IS lucius???????

Omg .. XDD we see him in every film with long hairs but NEVER with short hairs .. iT's very funny :P

[mollymariex]

oh i'm so glad jason isaac's actually WANTS to be in the movies. it seems like so many actresses and actors in the movies in the past have been like "..well i'm not sure if i'm going to do the next ones.." and wanting to move onto other things. i'm so glad jason isn't like that, not to mention he's absolutely PERFECT for lucius.

[Hizzukka]

@mollymariex

Yes, it's comforting to see people who actually like their work and are not afraid to take part in more questionable projects, like kids movies. Jason Isaacs actually seemed like a kid who had got an access to a candy shop!

[suscriber11]

He is awesome

[vesperlovett]

wow he's really nice! xD

[velvetregulus]

The bit about Gary Oldman is hilarious. Lol.

[ulemper]

wow, every time I see these Harry Potter interviews I keep thinking how genius the cast is, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs...

The Actors were made for their parts and I think they did a very good job of selecting their cast, when i Read the books it was exactly how i imagined them...only exception would be Dumbledore

[ShiebL]

@ulemper The exception is Dumbledore? Personally, I loved the first Dumbledore. I thought he fit the part perfectly- he showed strength without needing to be forceful. Unfortunately, he died... But I still don't like the second Dumbledore...

[ulemper]

@ShiebL you're absolutely right, I should have specified. It was the second I was referring to. Richard Harris was very intelligent, calm, charming and funny at all the right times.

When I reread the books last year, it was Harris who I saw everytime dumbledore spoke, and I think Rowling intended for that sort of character to come through in her books.

[ShiebL]

@ulemper Agreed. Fullheartedly. ^_^

[nmbr1cub]

@ulemper fuck michael gambon! richard harris all the way!

[thinkgood]

@ulemper A great cast... Except for the main character, who ruins it for the rest of them.

[simplydance1]

@thinkgood are you saying daniel ruins the movies?

[D119heavy]

@ulemper totally right, the cast is almost 110% perfect, I think Gary Oldman as Sirius is the best of the best

[foreverKISSABLEnate]

@ulemper The first Dumbledore was great, though.

[Wystearya]

@ulemper

The first Dumbledore was more what Dumbledore was meant to be, I think. This kindly old man with a hoarse voice and snow white hair. He was awesome. :)

It was a little jarring to have the abrupt CHANGE OF CHARACTER that went along with the necessary change of actor.

[ulemper]

@Wystearya absolutely, and thats how I imagined him when I read the last books. we can only imagine what marvels he would have done with the latter movies and enjoy the two movies he did play in.

[charlieiscool1000]

Yes Richard harris was perfect for Dumbledore and all the actors in HP are great they are some of the best English actors there are

[deadpisser88]

@Wystearya Too abrupt, for my liking... That one scene alone in Goblet of Fire (after Harry's name comes out the goblet) made me facepalm a facepalm that has never been facepalmed before.

[Ryantravisaol]

@ulemper All the actors you've listed are real 'Artists.' These movies are only as good as the people who act in them and I'm so glad they chose these people. I am American, from NY, and I've seen young person after young person trying to be a 'Star' and it makes me sick...None of them, none, have a tenth the class, poise, or talent as the [English] actor. I've talked to these people and they cannot define what an artist is, makes me sick. I'm damn sure the English know what I'm talking about.

[madbar4lifexo]

@ulemper dumbledore WAS absolutely PERFECT but because he passed away the second dumbledore just doesn't work.

[HomegirlOfJezu]

@ulemper Oh oh and don't forget Brendon Gleeson!

[animerox1995]

Lucius looks really cool! he is smart for making that look!

[irocklove14]

Aww Jason's adorable. I think its extremely cute how he's so gracious to be playing Lucius <3

[bonocusack]

Thank god he intervened on the wardrobe choices. Salt and pepper hair and a pinstripe suit? wtf

And how is it that someone so sweet and charming can play someone so slimy and bigoted? Gifted actor.

[bethb033]

thank goodness they chose jason to play lucius!

[Chesky777]

I just kicked dobby

[BrownsGuy815]

haha the funny thing is when i read the books, now i imagine jason's lucious in my head. its crazy to think that version might not have existed

[ShoutOut159]

i love love love jason isaacs <3

[AntFemale]

hes amazing!

[SchaumbadSarah]

i can't help myself. everytime i see the scene at flourish and blots where lucius and harry meet the first time, i have to laugh. daniel radcliffe acts so bad. "voldemort killed my parents." XD it's like a parody of himself. gosh. but isaacs i great, of course.

[KenshinHImura680]

Now when I see this scene I will just think of that. hahahaha

[Sharebyakuya]

They really need to give this guy more airtime.

[Treemeadow]

I love how much Isaacs has absorbed his role. He adores Lucius. There really isn't a better person to play him.

[blackeyedlinda]

lmao sounds very organized "Hey can I wear this?" "Yeah sure..", "Can I flick my hand to shut the door?" "Yeah sure..", "I just kicked Dobby is that cool?" "Yeah sure.." (no precise quotes but you get my point :p) xD

[TheEmily011]

"could you get me outta prison im begging you?!" LOL

[shrikechan]

I`m very glad that this version of Lucious became the final version, because it makes more sense. The long blond hair fits with Draco`s, and the appearance and actions make more sense with his hatred of Muggles. Good thinking on his part.

[EndlessDark16]

I wish I could act like him at work (only my job would be crap cuz I'm only 19 lol). What I mean is it'd be great if I could simply do my own thing and have them ask "What was that you just did?" ... and I'd say something in response and they'd just be like "Alright. Yeah, you can do that"

lol

[hellosomedude2]

he was brilliant in the patriot as well

[iloveTnDx]

yeah,excellent :)

[xRWTYx]

The long blond hair is sexy

[taneeke]

Yes, it reminds me of Haldir from the lord of the rings.

[timelady1994]

@xRWTYx hate to admit it, but i agree :)

[chance437]

@xRWTYx Oh yes, it is.

[SciFiNerd92]

Scrummy =P

He is so perfect for the role and his soft, posh voice he puts on is PERFECT

xD

[OvechkinAlexFan]

lmao he changes his accent like three times!

[MizzJessika18]

I love when he tells the story of kicking Dobby down the stairs lol

[kittyanimeluvr90210]

I must say Lucius is very touchy touchy with Harry. xD

[theAmaranthine]

Jason is just...perfect! I can't believe the man's genius! His vision for the character of Lucius Malfoy is just SUPERB! Brilliant actor! and very creative of him! He actually thinks like the Lucius we all read about in the books! Brillaint man! He's going on my fave actors list along with Alan Rickman who plays the perfect Snape. These men were made for their roles!

[MsMilkchocolate]

couldn't have said it better myself.

[abc9409]

Wow, he's so amazing and briliant! His ideas... wow. Simply amazing and handsome. He's got a great sense of humor, too. XD

[SavageShoreCreations]

The director of the Harry Potter series sucks. They need more actors like this! He's got great ideas for Lucious' character. God knows that I can't say the same for the new Dumbledore.

[MarlaSingerIsMyIdol]

Jason is my best mate's godfather. I meet him once. and he did the lucius voice! He's so nice.

[hobbitwannabe]

You're so lucky to have met him! I'm sooo jealous! I think he's the ultimate best actor. His voice is so amazing, I'd happily listen to him read the phone book! :-) Please tell your best mate we LOVE JASON in America!

[ivanahumpalot420]

He's a fellow jew.

[mizkex]

really that makes 3 of us!

[RandomDancingActress]

lol "God, get me out of prison, I'm begging you!"

[sHaUnA33445566]

i mean i couldnt see lucius in one of those

[RhiannanAR1]

It's so nice to see an actor get so animated while discussing his character. And you'd think it'd be old hat to him by now, but obviously he still enjoys it! Yeah, I can't imagine the salt & pepper hairdo w/ the pinstriped suit. Jason's vision for Lucius was spot on. Can't imagine him looking like anything else!

[AGoonerMatata]

Am I the only one worried that it took an actor (granted, a brilliant actor who totally owns the character) to come between Lucius Malfoy and patchy grey hair with a pinstriped suit? And the director just said "whatever"!? Things like that matter damnit!

[clandestineone]

To Rhiannan and AGoonerMatata: I couldn't agree more!

[letthemxeatcake]

He's good at imitating American accents.

[shichan]

i wanna tackle him off that couch!

[velvetsnape]

LUCIUS IS SO 'EFFING HOT! X D

[Terocia]

Cheers!

[daughterofpele]

i really hope production team give him the cane at the end of the films just a little gift because he really deserves it and has such an obvious love for lucius. i can't wait until deathly hallows!

[clandestineone]

The man is an utter delight and an inestimable asset to the franchise! Good on ya, Jas!

[clandestineone]

Jeez! I can't believe he had to fight tooth and nail to keep Lucius from looking like utter toss! They should sack their lead costume designer and appoint Isaacs to the position instead!

[RhiannanAR1]

LOL!! I completely agree with you, as long as it doesn't take away from his role - hopefully in book 7! Maybe he should do it for HBP?!

[Demithegoddess]

They should have put some of that long fight scene in the extras! That would have rocked!!

[LadyKnight123]

Oh my God!

I didn't know he invented the look and the whole kicking Dobby thing!

[irishdancerayla]

hes cool^^

[scousemike84]

Jason Isaacs is an absolute legend!! Credit to British actors! And from Liverpool too!

[MalfoyGrandma77]

I have watched this twenty, yes twenty times now, and I enjoyed it just as much this time as the first. Love this interview with Luscious Lucius Malfoy, my son, of course.....

[Barbiculatum]

We owe Jason a great debt of gratitude for the smoking hot Lucius look!!!!! Besides, it's obvious anyway, that Lucius is a wizard businessman)))

[JENNIEE09]

LOL. I love this!
