Mundungus's associate

[Carol]

Apparently Mundungus's casting is official. He now has an unnamed associate (played by a relatively unknown actor named Martin Ballantyne) for a scene in DH1 in which Mundungus is "negotiating a purchase." Has to be the scene in which he's "negotiating" with Umbridge over her "purchase" of the locket Horcrux! That gives me hope for one of my favorite comic scenes in DH, Kreacher hitting Mundungus over the head with a saucepan. (I don't usually like slapstick humor, but that scene cracked me up.)

Here's a link to the article:
