No one could play Horace Slughorn like you could... No one's going to...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I think one of the Potter fansites broke the casting of Horace Slughorn for HALF-BLOOD PRINCE yesterday and today Garth over at Dark Horizons confirmed it with the actor himself.

Jim Broadbent will play the new teacher (Potions teacher to be specific... definitely not defense against the dark arts... who would think that? Not me...). I think that casting is pretty phenomenal. Aside from James Lipton's non-existent British twin there's no one I can think of better for the role. What do you guys think?
