Naomi Watts will be in the new Harry Potter movie!
Naomi Watts has been cast to appear in the new Harry Potter movie, “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.”
Watts, set to give birth in a few weeks, has just signed on for the supporting role of Draco’s nasty mother Narcissa Malfoy. The actress won’t have to start work on the film until September.
Also joining her are smoldering hunks Joseph Fiennes and Stuart Townsend, and whilst their roles haven’t been specified it’s expected both will tie into the flashbacks into the history of Voldemort. It’s quite possible Joseph will play either the father of or a younger version of the character his brother Ralph Fiennes portrays.
The two key new roles of Potions master Horace Slughorn and new Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour have yet to be announced but both skew decidedly older than either Fiennes or Townsend.
PS: I’ve heard through the grapevine that Naomi’s expecting twins. It looks like that could definitely be possible with that stomach!

wouldn’t she be on bed rest then? I don’t know, i’ve never had twins, much less a baby. but every one of my friends & acquaintances that have had twins were put on bed rest around 7 mths.

No twins.. she’s not even that big! She just carries her baby way high and out front. If she were preggers with twins.. she would be on bedrest.

I dont think shes at all right for the part of Narcissa, I think someone like Tilda Swinton would be a much better choice. Oh well, we shall see….

i think she’ll be great for Narcissa! One of the few good choices they’ve made in the casting for those movies..btw Helena Bonham Carter was FANTASTIC as Bellatrix even though her role was tiny. gol i cannot wait for the last movie!
