Shrewd and classy. That's the vibe of Lucius Malfoy. It shouldn't be a problem for Phoenix to pull that aura, infact he would be just great for the series. We don't get to see enough of this character in the movies but no doubt he plays a vital role. Anyone who has seen Gladiator would acknowledge that Phoenix is good at portraying class blended with calm. Although he didn't had the sleek blonde look, but that surely won't account for much. Who knows? We might end up loving that look more.
