Rade Šerbedžija

Rade Šerbedžija (born July 27, 1946) is a Croatian actor of Serbian descent. In the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he will portrary a "wizard who makes swords with special power," a role he described as "small but interesting." As no wizard smith is found in the novel, it is most likely that the character was invented for the film, possibly to replace Ragnuk the First as the maker of Godric Gryffindor's sword and thus eliminate the need to devote screentime to explain goblin's silver.
