With the announcement that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix director David Yates will be back for the sixth film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, things are heating up on the yet to be shot next Harry Potter adventure. The first rumor out of the gate is that Aussie Naomi Watts might be involved.

The word comes from the boys over at Moviehole, where they’ve dug up a gossip piece from Laineygossip.com which drops a few hints. They say Naomi may show up for the role of Lucius Malfoy’s wife and Draco’s mother Narcissa Malfoy.

Though the character hasn’t made it into any of the movies yet, she is in the books, and takes on a larger role as they wear on. Apparently she may make it into the next film, and like all the Malfoy’s she’s not a nice person. Watts can pull off just about anything and she’s got the right hair color to be a Malfoy. One problem though, she’s not British. Well, at least that's what we all thought. Apparently now she’s claiming to be a Brit, for the purposes of getting a juicy part in a monster hit series of movies. She was born there and raised in Australia, but recently went on record claiming she’s more Brit than Aussie, prompting speculation that she’s positioning her nationality to slip into Harry’s uniquely UK world.
