Now thatHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1has revealed itself to cinemagoers, the natural thing is to now focus our attention onPart 2.
According toVanity Fair, Kelly Macdonald (of HBOs terrificBoardwalk Empire, which wrapped up its first season last week) is set to play the Ravenclaw house ghost better known to Potter fans as the Grey Lady which just shows you how close David Yates and writer Steve Kloves are sticking to the final book.
The Grey Lady plays a brief, but pivotal role in the closing chapters of J.K. Rowlings epic saga, one that I will certainly not divulge here.

Intriguingly, Hogwarts has long been absent of ghosts since Alfonso CuaronsHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(Moaning Myrtle notwithstanding), largely due to the growing maturity of the stories.
Itll be interesting to see how the Grey Lady (along with those enormous spiders and giants) fits into Yates more down-to-earth approach.
Along withBoardwalk, Macdonald has starred in such highly praised films asChokeand Best Picture winnerNo Country for Old Men.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2is set for a July 15, 2011 release and will, unfortunately, bereleased in 3D.
