Attenborough fancies Harry Potter role

Rex Features

Lord Richard Attenborough has said that he would like a role in one of the final Harry Potter movies.

Attenborough revealed his desire to star in one of the wizard movies after he awarded JK Rowling the Outstanding Achievement gong at the South Bank awards in London yesterday.

The Jurassic Park star said: "I must be the only English actor of my generation who has got absolutely bugger all out of this extraordinary series that has been read by millions and made into movies.

"Surely there must have been something I could have played? Even just a few lines here and there? Don't think I didn't try!"
