Our friends over at Wizard never fail to ask some insightful questions. Just last week, they asked TRANSFORMERS screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman what they would like in the sequels (Dinobots, Starscream, Decepticons...Oh My!). You can view that here. Today, they asked the director of HARRY POTTER & THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX and HARRY POTTER & THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE (due Fall 2008) a question which would raised the eyebrows of any genre fan.

What was the question Wizard asked director David Yates?

You worked with Bill Nighy in “Girl in the Café.” Don’t you think he’d make a great addition to the Potter films?

This guy is awsome.

From Underworld to Pirates of the Careibean 2-3, I love the way he is and how he talks and all that. It would be so fun to have him in HP, I could see this hapening.

He would be great in a Potter film but I'd rather see him play Marvolo Gaunt than Rufus Scrimgoer. And get Rhys Ifans as his son Morfin. I'm not sure who I see as Merope though. I'd also love to see Daniel Day Lewis in a Potter film. He'd be awesome as Fenrir Grayback.

He'd be great as Fenrir Grayback but he'd make a good Scrimgoer, too.

He looks like Vincent Price or Peter Cushing, I dig the energy he (Nighy) puts into his characters...

Just another classically trained actor who's great in ANYthing.

Maybe they can save him for HP: Deathly Hallows so he can play the unknown character with the initials R.A.B.
I believe that character is a member of the Black family myself but I guess we'll have to wait till the 21 to find out.

Didn't Bob Hoskins(dont know if the spelling is correct, but i mean the the guy from Roger Rabbit) want a part in an HP film? He could be Slughorn.

P.S. Great call on Marvolo. That also would be sweet.
