Gary Oldman has said he was not trying to be “rude” to Harry Potter fans after he criticised his own acting as Sirius Black in the fantasy franchise.

The Oscar-winning actor, 66, played Harry’s godfather and escaped convict Black from the third movie, Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban, including Goblet Of Fire and Order Of The Phoenix, and made a brief appearance in Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
