Jim Broadbent is one busy man.

In a recent discussion with Dark Horizons, the actor discussed his roles in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

On the topic of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Broadbent talked a bit about his character Horace Slughorn.

"Who am I? He's called Horace Slughorn." Broadbent states. "He's a retired teacher of magic who's drawn back out of retirement because he's got some secrets they need in the battle against the Deatheaters and he's quite star struck as a teacher and he's drawn back into the fold because he likes to notch up celebrity students, and he's drawn back by Harry."

Then he was asked about his role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

"I'm Indiana's academic colleague at Yale." The actor offers. "I'm his friend and colleague - there's a couple of my scenes to go."

    If OotP is any indication. HBP will be one giant action blur by the time they cram the 600+ page novel into a 2 hr time slot. I don't see why they don't just split Books 6 and 7 into two parts each... they would make way more money.

    Indy is what I'm waiting for. Harry Can Wait, even though Harry is good.
