London, June 17 (ANI): Daniel Radcliffe convinced ‘Harry Potter’ filmmakers to allow Jason Isaacs to create his own scary look.

The 47-year-old plays sinister wizard Lucius Malfoy in the franchise and the Brit was so sure of the style he wanted the villain to

adopt, he approached the films’ costume department with his ideas.

However, it was Radcliffe who convinced director Chris Columbus to approve the outfits.

“When I first got there they had done drawings of what Lucius would look like - a pin-stripe suit and salt-and-pepper hair and I

thought, ‘This is the one crack (chance) I’ll get in life to play a wizard,’ so I begged them for a wig and velvet and luckily they

went along with it,” the Daily Express quoted Isaacs as saying.

“We went down on set to show the director and he did a double take at me and they said, ‘It’s Jason, Lucius Malfoy’, and he

said, ‘We’ve done drawings of you’, and I said, ‘I want to look like a wizard… can I have a cane or walking stick, I can get the

wand out of it’, and they said, ‘We can’t do that, wands come out of people’s sleeves’.

He added: “Daniel, who was standing there, said, ‘I think it’d be really cool!’ and Chris said, ‘Alright, let’s do that then.’” (ANI)
