Have i ever mentioned how much i love Jason Isaacs?

No. 

I’m so uncomfortable with the Goebbels comparison, I find it very inappropriate. 

Idk  @itsrevydutch Thoughts??? 

I’m actually okay with it. Jason Issacs is Jewish. This isn’t just some goy throwing buzzwords; He knew what he was saying. 

He has explicitly discussed how his Jewishness informed his portrayal and understanding of Lucius Malfoy in more than one interview: 

It was interesting for me to play someone full of race hate. Every time Lucius Malfoy said ‘Muggle’ I thought ‘Jew’.“The character of Lucius is as far from a Jew as I will ever play. He is quite clearly a Nazi.”

[Lucius] espouses the language of racism and eugenics…it’s not like I don’t understand racism, fear, bigotry and ignorance; being Jewish, I think, has brought me a more nuanced perspective on it than most…

Also, he’s discussed how his parents contended with rabid antisemitism in both pre-and-post-war Britain

He knew what he was saying. The word choice was very, very deliberate.
