Emma Thompson Joins Next Potter Movie

Thompson Joins Potter Cast

Emma Thompson has been added to the cast of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as Divination instructor Professor Trelawney, according to Australian newspaper The Herald Sun. Thompson’s character plagues Harry and his classmates with mostly false predictions based on the dubious art of fortunetelling using tea leaves and crystal balls.

The film, directed by Alfonso Cuaron, will be the third installment in the franchise based on the popular children’s books by J.K. Rowling. Thompson joins an already distinguished cast of British actors including fellow newcomers Gary Oldman and Julie Christie and Potter regulars Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith. Currently filming in the U.K., Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be released in June of 2004.
