When I saw Lucius, I knew I recognized the actor, but couldn't remember where I'd seen him. Halfway through the movie I remembered. He was the vicious British soldier from the movie "The Patriot"; the one who was the bane of Mel Gibson's family! He was a particularly apt Lucius!
I wondered if Derek Jacobi might nake a good Albus Dumbledore for the next few films!
Hmmm...he might. I saw an article the other day with a list of potential Dumbledores. There were about ten options. Did you think Richard Harris looked a little weaker in this one? His voice seemed softer. Or maybe I'm just comparing him to Gandalf.
I thought Malfoy also looked a little like Christopher Plummer. But I hadn't made the Patriot connection.
