Just thought it would be intresting to find out as much as we can about HBP,

For instance i think that they will start casting in febuary/march time because thats about 3 months after compleeting ootp.

Any facts or rumors?

I would assume that yes they will start the casting in probaly February and the filming will probaly begin in MArch. Then that way that will give the directors and producers about 8-9 months to film the movie. maybe even longer time if needed.

I just read on Wikipeida that filming for HBP will begin in august 2007 so maybe they will hhold casting sessions in june/july time?

Guys, just a reminder - please don't make this another audition thread otherwise I'll have to lock it. If you want to talk about all rumours, that's fine - just don't make it solely about the auditions, 'Kay? Thanks

Okay

In that case what does everyone think about Emma watson not returning? I personally think she will because she has made it this far why not carry on.

Oh gosh I'm holding my breath that she does indeed return! There's only 2 more to go! The only problem would be that her semester will probably start the same time as the movie starts filming. She needs to remember that she has the rest of her life for school! Not the rest of her life to finish these films! gah. Let's all write up a petition to show her how much we need her to stay!

Lol can you imagine the uproar? i feel sorry for anyone that would have to follow her performance! I doubt that she will leave though.

If my knowledge is correct then Emma AND Daniel AND Tom will be returing for HBP but Rupert isn't definately "attached"

Look here.

Hey,

If you look up HBP film on wikipedia it says:


Harry Potter- Daniel Radcliffe Confirmed this in an interview with the US TV show Extra.
Ron Weasley- Rupert Grint Has signed up for the film, according to his own words. Interested in doing the seventh film as well.
Draco Malfoy- Tom Felton Has a penciled-in contract, though not set in stone. Claims he will do all seven films if he can.

you can see this Here

Lol but it doesnt say anything about emma?!?!

I would take any rumors that the trio or Tom not returning with a grain of salt. There are two things to take into account. First, the fans want the original kids to finish the series. That is a lot of motivation for the studio to keep the kids.

Second, lets face reality. This is the kids 15 minutes of fame. Granted it is stretched to seven movies but this is their one shot. Yes they will have other bit parts during their lifetime but their claim to fame will be the HP series. If they are smart and have a good agent, they will work to make sure they do not have to share their roles with other actors.

So until anything is confirmed, I would not get too upset over rumors that any of the kids are being replaced.

Ok, so this is completely true, because they have started a really good job you know and let's face it, their characters are growing and getting more mature ( except for the twins , just kidding) so they are also becoming harder to play and this turns into an opportunity to prove that this is not an easy thing, that the fact that these books begun as children books, doesn't mean that this aren't difficult at all!!! However this " 15 minutes of fame" thingy can as well turn into a curse, because , as the case of the actor who played Luke Skywalker, people might "box" ( i don't know how to express it in English) in one role. What I tried to say is that maybe (let's hope THIS NEVER HAPPENS) Emma Watson would be remembered as Hermione Granger, not as the many roles she'd play after the movies are over. So I think we have to analize this well.

We know now the trio are now definately doing the sixth film as I knew they would. Its going to look pretty good on their CVs

do they need to have it on their CVs though they will just walk in to a room and people will know who they are!

just think there is a rumor that David Yates is also coming back to director HBP as well.. it says that he is definatly attatched on IMDB, but i'm not sure what do you guys think?

i think emma, daniel, and rubert will all be returning, actually that's a fact, it would be so rude and uncomfortable if they were replaced, we so used to seeing their faces, hearing their voices, their personality, and watching them, i would be so ticked off if they replaced them

i heard that they are all returning thank goodness

is it true that david yates is directing HBP aswell as OOTP ?? because thats what i heard

i really want to see what the movie poster for HBP will be etc etc

wow this is exciting lol

i read on IMDB.com that the trio will return for the remaining 2 films.

I just clicked on tat link and it said that Emma had confirmed for the sixth and the seventh film. Would find it very suprising if any of them didn't.

I heard Emma Watson may not be returning to play Hermione... But I know for sure that Daniel Radcliffe will stay in the rest of the movies,no matter how old he looks.
But what about Rupert Grint? I also heard he may be thinking of quitting...

Yes, that's true! People have had reply letters from Yates, saying he's been taking a break between the two films. I think the casting is in progress at the moment although that's not certain, and filming starting in Aug/Sep?

Emma is DEFINATELY coming back now, although i'm sure you've figured that out by now, but i just thought i'd add that hehe.

x.x.x

Hey, i found some interesting news. Apparantly (i found an article on the internet), it said that David Yates is getting ready to cast Lavander Brown and Young Tom Riddle and is holding auditions in London between the 1st and 8th of July. The good thing about David Yates continuing to direct the next film is that they get to start filming almost immediately (in September). I cant wait until Half Blood Prince is out in Cinemas next year and the fifth film hasn't even come out yet. I'm soo excited about July.
..........
...
i wasn't sure whether they'd be casting Lavander, given that she could be pronounced to be a pretty minor character overal but obviously David Yates wishes to include the fighting between Ron and Hermione - this is going to be juicy; i wonder if he is going to include Slughorn's party, where harry goes with Luna Lovegood. But then doesn't that mean that they're gonna include Cormac McGlaggen? Maybe not likely. they havn't said yet. So far apparantly they're only casting two characters, Lavander and Tom Riddle -----oooh i cant wait to see the flashbacks of Riddle's life---oh, hang on, what about Merope? They've gotta have Merope then again she's only a child for like 2 mins (in movie terms).

OK so here is a link to a site which suggests about the new casting decisions - very interesting, particularly the bit about Rupert Grint's task for casting Lavander's role.

I don't think Lavender Brown can be promoted to a minor character under any circumstances. First of all, it promotes the jealous fighting between Ron and Hermione and second, I don't think that someone who hangs out with a member of the trio and also being that important to a member of the trio can be ignored.

As for Cormac and Slughorn's party, I think that they'll have to include that. The party is when Harry finds out that Snape's trying to help Malfoy's plans. Plus, Cormac adds fuel to the Ron/Hermione fighting fire.

I have a question, we all know that production of the movies has been slower than most movies due to the strict child labor laws in the UK. Now that the cast has mostly grown up, and are considered adults- does anyone else think that production will speed up?

For the most part, when the script calls only for the main characters, I would say yes. But when the script calls for a scene to inclue the younger children, say in the Great Hall, where there will be a large number of child extras under the age of 16 then, I think things will be as slow as before.

At the moment, as the law in the UK stands On Saturdays, 13 to 14 year olds can work for five hours and 15 to 16 year olds can work up to eight hours. No child under the age of 15, is permitted to work for more than 2 hours on a weekday or Sunday.

just to let u know the trio are all returning for the sixth and seventh film.

Okay so I am pretty exited about the 6th movie because all of the main trio are coming back. In my opinion it would be ridiculous if they didn't because this is Harry Potter! They are never going to have another opportunity like this.

In WikiPedia, it says that there is a scene in the script with Ron, Hermione, Lavender and Madam Pomfrey...that ought to be good, and I guess those who like wrestling would love this scene (lol just joking but I bet there will be a fight between Mione and Lavender

To be honest I am a little concerned, the only info I have been able to find through, this site, IMDB and Wikipeadia is that the trio, Malfoy and Tonks are returning.

its 13 august now and shooting is supposed to be starting in September, I am a little surprised that we dont know if the others are all comming back and who will be playing the new characters, like slughorn.

Ok: So here are the people that are confirmed for the HBP as of now...I know that other people are cast, even like Lavender, Slughorn, and other newbies, I'm almost sure of that, but they won't release the info yet: Well here's the confirmed:

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger
Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley
Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy
Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley
Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood
Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom
Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks

Those are the confirmed: click here
to see the confirmed cast at wikipedia, that futher links you to the interviews where they state it...

Er...i was the last post, wow.. well Rupert Grint confirmed that Ron and Lavender have their relationship in HBP film...It's confirmed he says it's "intense"...while he was reading the script. That excites me. Here's the interview here

I am glad to hear that the "romance" between Ron and Lavender will be in the movie. Though it wasn't that important to the plot of the book, it really added alot to Ron's character, and it would be unfortunate if they left this out of the movie.

Lupin has been confimed for this film.! Tonks has already been confirmed about a month ago...so that might mean that there relationship is in the film...cause thats about all they do.

*Tonks saves Harry and is depressed (because of Lupin)

*Lupin is at the end talking about Bill and Tonks

I hope it stays!

Actually I believe Tonks is depressed because of the death of her cousin Sirius although Lupin may play wee part in it.

on another note from an interview back in July they weren't too sure weather Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy all the way) would be in the final script. I do hope he is as they would find it hard to introduce him into the final movie for he plays an important role at the beginning (Dumbledores Will etc.)

I sure hope that Lupin and Tonks get a little relationship time, that'd be cool! I guess I never really doubted that they trio would stay to finish the films. They're confirmed now, but I think it was a given since they've gotten this far. And, I'm really excited that Tom's returning for this one too... Yeah, I agree they should include Scrimgeour, even if it's just a little bit. I'm so excited for this movie!

Are they including Harry and Ginny's relationship ?

I hope Lupin plays a bigger part in this film I like his character!

They'll have to show Lupin and Tonk's relationship in this film otherwise they'll just have to have them having a baby in the final film without absoluetely any history Not a good idea.

Think they'll have that conversation in the Prime Ministers room in the film or are they keeping that out?

-ginny

I read somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where!) that at least Harry and Ginny's kiss is going to be in the movie. There was this interview with Bonnie Wright, asking her how did she feel about shooting that scene and towards Katie Leung for taking over Cho's love interest.

So I guess at least we will see that kiss in the movie.

I don't like the other rumor that's been going around about a Ron/Hermione kiss being included in this movie. That's not how it happened and it's something very different as to blaming Cho instead of Marietta for revealing the DA's whereabouts. I would hate it if they included that kiss in the HBP movie.

I'll be furious if they include the R/Hr kiss. It's part of DH, and it's not supposed to be in HBP! But I don't think it's true, so whatever.

About the Ministers thing, I have this feeling it's the kind of thing they'll cut. It's sort of... unimportant. But then they'll have to 'hire' Scrimgeour another way... Anybody feel they'll cut it too?

Ok here is the stuff that we know will be in just because of recent interviews and the Sneak Peeks on the Ootp DVDS

*Harry and Dumbledore Going to Slughorn's House (It's in sneak peek #3)

*Harry and Ginny's Relationship (It's in sneak peek #3

*Draco attacking Harry on the Train and Tonk's saving him (It's in sneak peek #3)

*Quidditch with Ron (Sneak PeeK #1)

*Riddle at the Orphanage (Sneak Peek #2)

*Ron and Lavender Relationship (various interviews)

*Dean's and Ginny's Relationship (Sneak #3, Kloves states it)

I might of forgot a couple, I also didn't include the obvious, such as *****'s death and so on.

hey it's me again, the film just released a summary:
[b]

From this, here is what can be confirmed:

* Dumbledore trying to prepare Harry.

*Harry and Dumbledore fetch Slughorn

*Harry and Ginny Relationship

*Ginny and Dean Relationship

*Ron and Lavender's Relationship

*Hermione being jealous toward Ron..

*Ron eat's Romilda Vane's love potion

I recently heard that Yates is going to make Hbp short. I remember him saying that "movies should be well below 2 hours these days". And he also mentioned that he extended the runtime of Ootp with regret. So, if this news is true the movie will probably be what, 1 hour and 50 minutes! ohmy.gif And it's recently confirmed that the Gaunts, Hepizbah Smith and the Prime Minister scenes are not going to be there. While i'm okay with cutting out the prime minister and probably Smith (though i would love to have seen another house-elf, at last! sad.gif ), i'm worried that they are going to cut out the three Gaunts. And if i am right, they are going to compress the Memories "a wee-bit" and focus more on the relationships and the lighter stuff in Hbp. Altough, on a more happier note, they are going to include Quiddich and the "Weasley is our King!" parts which were butchered in Ootp. laugh.gif
Great list smartman299 , well done. Anyway, this list might make things clear a little bit about runtimes. And i think this one wil be a lot different and hilarious than the previous Potters, hope it will be great

Yes, I do believe that Sirius's death had a part in her sadness. But remember, at the end of OotP, her hair was still pink and bright. Thus leading me to believe that Lupin was a majority of the depression.

Here's hoping some infermation about the Tonks/Lupin relationship comes out soon!

From everything that i've read,heard and seen, i think the following scenes have been/will be filmed-

* Spinner's End (Helena Bonham Carter along with Helen McCroy is confirmed)

* Dumboldore at the Dursleys (i'm not too sure about the Will and Won't part, though)

* Dumboldore's visit to Professor Horace Slughorn's house with Harry

* Some scenes at the Burrow (excluding the Bill/Fluer relationship and the visit from Rufus Scrimeagour and Percy (Bill Nighty is not yet casted and i'm sure Percy will be cut entirley))

* Harry explaining something to Mr.Weasley, probably at King's Cross (Malfoy? does that mean Fred and George's shop scene is in??)

* Some scenes in the Hogwarts express, including the scene where Malfoy body blinds Harry (excluding the Slug Club, but not too sure since Zabini is cast)

* The Tonks saves Harry scene and her Patronus along with Snape (Although i'm not sure if they will save Harry in a different way (hi, neville))

* At least one class with Slughorn (probably the Felix Felicis) (although probably Snape's Class will be cut out)

* The Quidditch and the "Weasley is our King!" parts from OotP (including Cormac McLaggen and the Hospital Wing scenes)

* Harry/Ginny Relationship along with Harry's second kiss

* Ron/Lavender Relationship along with Ron's first kiss and the hillarious "Won-won" parts

* "the wonderful ongoing relationship" between Ron/Hermione (Hermione jelaous about the Ron/Lavender case)

* Ginny/Dean Relationship (probably Dean's kiss with Ginny will be in)

* At least one discussion between Harry and DD about Lord Voldemort and the Horcruxes (with some Dialouge from DD about his life)

* Riddle's Orpanage (the youg DD along with the young Riddle)

* The "Half-blood Prince" book parts (Levicorpus will be out, Sectumsempra will be in, Muffialto??(spellings) will probably be out as well)

* The scene where the teenage Tom Riddle persuades Slughorn to tell him about the Horcruxes

* Ron's Birthday surprise (including some Hospital Wing scenes involving Madam Pomfrey, Ron, Hermione, Harry and Lavender)

* Scenes involving the characters of "two new mysterious red-head twins" (not the Creevey brothers) (and what about the mysterious April 2007 audition?)

* Night scenes involving Harry, Voldemort and the Death Eaters (can't think which ones)

* The Cave Scene

* Most of the Battle at the End of the Book and Astronomy Tower

* The Phoenix Lament and Fawkes (I'm sure Hooper and Yates would not miss out a chance to do another "Fawkes" Theme)

* DD's Funeral

But i'm not too sure about the Lupin/Tonks Relationship and the Dobby and Kreature trailing Malfoy parts. And i'm also not sure wheteher Professor Sprout will be back in.
The trouble is although i'm sure these scenes will be filmed, most of them will probably be edited down or deleted in the final product, so we won't see the whole scenes. But i'm sure they will add them to the HbP DVD as "Deleted Scenes"

Edit- Emma has confirmed that she just filmed the Slughorn party scene (on her website) and i also read somewhere that Yates and Kloves are "struggling" to decide whether to keep Rufus or not and that the Fred and George's Shop scenes are in along with Fred and George themselves (but I'm not 100% about this!)

Edit 2- I heard somewhere that a Christmas scene at the Burrow was filmed recently (does that mean Rufus is finally in it? or is it just a Christmas scene where Harry has a chat with Lupin just like he had with Sirius in OotP and asks Lupin about the HbP? (Yates is very keen on keeping Christmas scenes, remember OotP?)), but as always this is a rumor.
Oh yeah, i forgot, the scene where Harry gets his Quidditch captain badge could be there (and maybe by some enormous luck, the new team tryout scene (where Hermione confounds Cormac!, that should be funny, but i doubt it whether if it's on the script)

Do you think DD will tell Harry about his life?? He didn't in the book.
That was the main reason for Harry's regret about DD in DH.

Or do you mean in the sense that they may not have loooads of time to cover DD in DH?

NM

No, i didn't mean that Dd would explain things about his DaRk past, that would give the game away! I just thought this would be a possibility because in the draft of HbP that Kloves sent to Jo, there was one line where Dd tells about one of his past relationships with a girl (and this line is one reason that we got to know that Dd was Gay).
And in one of the two comic relief books Jo published back in 2001 (Quidditch through the Ages or Fantastic Beasts and where to find them) i heard that there was something written by Dd (probably the forward) where he tells about his wife and their pets (but i don't know about this one for sure cause i haven't read them).
Maybe Kloves got this line from this forward and included it on his draft for HbP? And even though this line was deleted, I'm sure that several lines like this would be there (even one).

Edit- Just Researched Encarta 2007 and found out about the book where Dd writes the forward referring to his wife and their pets. It's "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them (2001)". According to the Forward Dd wrote, his wife's name is Porpetina, and their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler (if you don't believe me, type "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them" in Encarta 2007 or later, get the book review article and read the second paragraph under the "Themes and Characters" section).
According to this, did Jo make Dd Gay only recently?!

Um does this mean that Fred/George will be in the Sixth film, I know it has been said that James is helping out behind the camera, so I am assuming that if Fred and George are in the movie that they will be played by James and Oliver...But what i am confused about is the new mysterious twins, I was under the impression that Fred and George are the only red haired twins in Harry Potter at the present time err timeframe of the books? Or maybe these 'twins' have to do with Molly's brothers, but I really don't see why or how they would include them in the sixth movie especially if their is talk about cutting Percy out so yeah I am confused.

Sorry to take such a long time to reply wickedlady, but unfortunately I couldn't connect to the Internet during the past month . Anyway from what I've heard Fred and George will be in Hbp and they will be played by James and Oliver. And yes, James is also an assistant director for Hbp. This probably means that they will not be in the movie a lot (they will probably appear in two or three scenes, assuming that the Www scene is there).

About the two-new redhead twins, they are not characters taken from the books (according to David Heyman at the Ootp premier) and they are not related to the Weasleys either. They are completely new characters created especially for the movie. I'm assuming that they have just put them there to "fill in" for a particular scene/s or something. Remember Nigel (the kid who gave Ron the dress robes in Gof) in Gof and Ootp? I think these two would be just like that.

NAR: I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused by some of your posts, you seem to be quite an authority on what's actually going on in the next couple of films. Can you just clarify for me how you seem to know all this stuff - or is it that you have just put together various snippets of information you have come across in times gone past?

Sorry if I sound impertinent, but it just seems to me that some of the things you have said come across as fact, rather than speculation or indeed rumour. Can you point us to any factual reports that you are gleaning all this information from please? I can't find any of it on VTM or infact, anywhere on the net, and I would have thought the majority of it would have been reported here at some point or another. I can't find any reference to two extra red-headed twins for instance. Nor can I find any reference to James or Oliver Phelps taking a part in directing HBP or any of the films. I moderate the News Comments Boards, so I read all the News stories as they appear on here, but can't seem to remember many of those you have alluded to. You say from what you've "heard, read and seen" Where exactly...?

Many thanks.

~Magelirose~

Yeah, I second that. I never post anything without saying, it's a)my opinion, I heard but this may be a rumour or c) linking to an article that can substantiate what I'm saying. As Magelirose says, you speak as if you know this stuff to be facts.

I often search the web for HP news stories. I look at other HP sites and never have I seen anything that references the Phelps brothers having anything more than an acting role in HBP. I have never heard of these other twins either.

Please give links to this information or at least say where you got your information from.

I'm so sorry about not referring to where I got these news/ rumors from, guys. And I'm so sorry if I spoke as if these are actual facts . But I certainly do not have any "authority" over the Hp films (although i would love to) .Of course most of these information are things I heard from various sources around the Internet and therefore it's most likely that some of these could be rumors. I got most of these from Wikipedia and The Imdb. Here are the links-

Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_...d_Prince_(film)
Imdb- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/

I read about the Www scene being filmed in the Faq section on the Imdb page of Hbp.The two-new extra mysterious red headed twins are mentioned in the Wikipedia article. I also remember having read about James helping-out behind the camera in an article on 'The Harry Potter's Page' website (sorry guys but i can't remember the link) and I also heard about it in a mobile-phone captured video released by the Bbc showing the outside of Gloucester Cathedral, where they showed David Yates walking out with James by his side and the commentator of the video commented that he's an assistant director for the film (he's just an 'assistant' director and not the actual director). I thought the Spinner's End scene will be in because both Helena and McCrory are confirmed to be in it (I don't know if you reported it on Veritaserum, but other fan sites did).

Parts of scenes where Dumboldore visits Slughorn's house, Harry explains something to Mr.Weasley, Malfoy body blinds Harry, Ron tries out as keeper and plays Quidditch, Harry/Ginny's Relationship along with Harry's second kiss, the discussion/s between Harry and DD about the Horcruxes and Riddle's Orphanage were featured on the Ootp Dvds as bonus videos for Hbp.

I stated in my post that some scenes at the Burrow would be in because Barron confirmed it recently in an Interview (i think it's reported in Veritaserum). And i said that Fluer and Percy were cut because both actors confirmed it recently. I thought that Tonks will save Harry because she is also confirmed for the movie and parts of the scene where Malfoy body-blinds Harry is seen in the Ootp Dvds. Jim Broadbent is confirmed as Slughorn and Dan has stated somewhere that he's working a lot with him, so I thought that even one class with Slughorn would be in. Almost every site reported at some point about Jessie Cave being casted as Lavender and Rupert said that he's a bit nervous about doing scenes with her on the bonuses in the Ootp Dvds.

The on-going relationship between Ron and Hermione was also referenced by Yates in the Dvds (Same with the Dean/ Ginny relationship). And all of the mentioned relationship references are also confirmed in the official Plot Synopsis released by Wb. Ron's Birthday surprise scene is also confirmed in it.

Wikipedia states about the Riddle/ Slughorn Memory scene being used for auditions, so it's likely it will be in the movie. And although the Funeral and the battle scenes were not reported anywhere, I think it's obvious that they could not be cut from the film (unless they have made the script based on a different book than Hbp ). But the cave scene and the Astronomy Tower scenes were confirmed by Stuart Craig in an interview conducted even before they shot Hbp (i think it's mentioned in Wikipedia too). The Scrimageour problem is also mentioned in the Wikipedia article.

Anyway, I'm sorry for any trouble caused and I will try to include references to my posts in the future .

Thanks for that NAR. The problem with Wikepedia is that anyone can add to its database, and although they cite references, they don't have to be factual. So, some of the stuff you have gleaned are indeed facts, but a lot of it (when considering the sources) could still be speculation and rumour, rather than fact.

Re James being an assistant director - how is the commentator going to know this, and if it's true, it should be credited somewhere, and as far as I can tell, it hasn't been yet. I even looked on IMdB, but no mention of James Phelps as assistant director there. However, they do tend to churn out the same details again and again with each film, so it could be that they haven't yet got around to crediting him. But I doubt it, as they have managed to include all of the new cast with HBP.

A lot of your post above mine has "I thought" in it. Which is fine, but your previous posts come across as "This is happening". Not the same thing.

Thanks for clearing up the issue for us, and for being so dedicated to the HBP film that you have deduced so much. It would seem you might be able to determine fact from fiction, but only if you choose your sources carefully (for goodness' sake, don't go quoting "The Sun" newspaper!!!) .

Hey, I heard in a news story about the alleged pre-screening of Hbp, and how supposedly people said it sucked and blah blah blah. Basically the only thing I took from the article is that it stated that only two memory scenes are in there. Now, obviously this is not from an extremely credible source, But, assuming this is true, is that ok with you guys?

Now, for me personally i have no problem with cutting out some memories, like the ones with tom riddles family, maybe they could just mention it instead of having a whole scene about it. I am inferring that the scene where dumbledore visits young tom riddle in the orphanage is in the movie (based off the previews) and i am just guessing that the horcrux memory is there...for obvious reasons...basically what im wondering is if you guys are worried that cutting out most of the memory scenes will be a big deal?
