He also had a cameo in the final installment, &#8220;Harry Potter\u200b and the Deathly\u200c Hallows:\u200c Part\u200b 2&#8221; (2011).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During\u2063 an interview on the &#8220;Happy Sad Confused&#8221; podcast\u2064 with host \u2063Josh Horowitz, \u2064Oldman admitted, &#8220;I think\u200c my work is mediocre in it.&#8221; He believes he could have approached the role differently and expressed\u200b admiration for his late co-star Alan Rickman&#8217;s \u2063portrayal of Professor Severus Snape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oldman reflected, &#8220;Maybe if I had read the books like Alan, if I had\u200c gotten ahead of the curve, if\u2062 I had known what&#8217;s\u200c coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite his self-criticism, Oldman is \u2062always striving to \u2064improve his craft.

He expressed gratitude, saying, &#8220;Thank God for Harry \u2064Potter. I tell you, the two \u200b\u2014 Batman and Harry Potter \u2014 really, they saved me, because it \u2063meant that I could do the least amount\u200d of work\u2063 for \u2063the most amount of money and then be home with the\u200b kids.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At 42 years old, Oldman found himself divorced and with custody of his three \u2064boys.
