Arthur Weasley joins Doctor Who!

Filming for season 7 of the British sci-fi show Doctor Who began yesterday and a few photos from the set have already made their way on to the web. The show will star Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill as it has for the previous two seasons but we already know that at some point that Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will be leaving the show. However, there is a new casting shown to us through these photos that we were not aware of. Mark Williams, best known for his role as Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films, will be guest staring in the upcoming season. Whether his role is a one time appearance or a few episodes is not yet known and neither is his actual role. There is some speculation that he could be the father of Arthur Darvill's character Rory Williams. Looking at Mark Williams' set photo, you can see a resemblance to Rory that would support this casting theory.
