Yahoo UK is reporting that Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix director David Yates says he’s hoping to bring Bill Nighy to the next movie. Yates worked with Nighy on Girl In The Café and believes the Bafta nabbing star would make a great addition to the sixth Potter film, The Half Blood Prince which begins production later this year.

Yates told Wizard: “Oh man, I’m already there. The only problem is, we’re looking at the next adaptation and Rufus Scrimgeour, who takes over the Ministry of Magic from Fudge, we’re not sure if he’s going to be in the finished screenplay yet. We’re struggling with it at the moment, and he’s in one moment and he’s out the next. But if he stays in, I’m going to be on the phone quick as a shot to Bill and say, ‘Bill, come on, you’ve got to do this, man.”
