Timothy Spall To Film Scenes as Wormtail for Deathly Hallows Later this Year

In January of 2008, we reported that actor Timothy Spall would be reprising his role as the nefarious Peter Pettigrew in the final Harry Potter films. Today, in a new interview regarding his most recent film The Damned United, mention is made again of Mr. Spall and his return appearance as Wormtail in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Wrexham Chronicle reports that: "He will be back on the big screen as Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince this summer and is due to start work on the final films later this year."

On a related note, you can see Mr Spall featured quite a bit in the trailer for The Damned United here via Youtube.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in a few months on July 17, 2009. Production is currently underway in England for both parts to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
