"Sweeney Todd" star Timothy Spall has confirmed to Moviehole that he'll be back as Peter Pettigrew in the next two "Harry Potter" movies.

The actor says "Well I'm actually.... yes... I'm in the next one and I'm also in the one at the end - I have a very big scene in that."

He also revealed one interesting possibility "I think they might be shooting two of them back-to-back - hard to know though, what with this writer's strike and all. They're shooting the penultimate one at the moment - which I have a brief appearance in it. I should be doing that soon."

Spall appeared as Wormtail, aka. Peter Pettigrew, the servant of the Dark Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in both the third and fourth films - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
