No, i think it's true, because i was ABOUT to post up something myself about this news, only you got there first. I saw pictures on this website of two lads, and it said underneath them both Vampiro Sanguini and Regulus Black. Anyway, this particular website is hardly ever wrong about casting and it always seems to recieve photos of movies before any other website so it's pretty reliable.
I cannot believe how much that guy looks like a vampire. You can really imagine him as Sanguini. I feel like i've seen him somewhere before on television but i don;t know where; he loos pretty familiar. Oh, and i definitely think that other guy looks like the sort of Regulus Black i've been picturing. Actually, his looks ARE pretty close.
I'm very surprised that they've managed to cast alot of characters that are in the books. I half expected them to cut out Sanguini and Romilda Vane, but surprise! They've put them in. I am starting to believe that what Tom Felton said in an interview once (about him not noticing much difference between the Script and the book) is true, and i extra can't wait to see the movie because i be able to see and expect everything (well, nearly everything) from the book.
Getting majorly excited here!

Not sure about the guy (mabye) playing Regulus...he looks like a bit of a free spirit and i always imagined Regulus quite proper and preppy...
Oddly enough, the girl to play Romilda looks exactly like i imagined her, which i guess will be good when i am watching the film!
Only seven months to go guys!!!

Hmm... I don't remember Regulus being in the books, or at least in a scene we saw...?
I don't think I saw the ones for Romila and co. I'll go check that now and edit.

So this is how they are going salvage the fact that they didn't include the locket in OOTP!!!! Yates has realised his error in how important the locket was, and now has to create a scene whereby Regulus is introduced, so we find out about the locket. Excellent! It doesn't matter it's not canon - it fills in the huge gap left in OOTP. *phew*
Gwenog
Apr 5 2008, 12:34 PM
He looks a little bit like a younger Snape but apart from that I think he is brilliant!!!! I don't really get the point about him being included in book 6 but he is very well fitting. Yupp once in my life I am satisfied with something Yates has done
I would have prefered that Yates woulld stick to the storyline yet I am glad he actually does something to fix it although JKR should have stopped him before leaving it out. Oh well I think HPB isn't going to be that bad after all. At least he is ready to fix errors (although still he shouldnt have done them in the first place)
Magelirose
Apr 5 2008, 02:32 PM
I strongly suspect that JKR didn't tell Yates about the locket in OOTP as HPDH hadn't been published yet, and as a result if she'd said anything, a major plot-line would have been given away for HPDH. She'd already given away quite a bit when telling him he really needed to include Kreacher. Perhaps she's the one who has given Yates the idea to include Regulus in HBP?
JKR's hands were effectively tied as far as how much info. she could reveal for the film OOTP went, and as a result, Yates was in the dark. No one's fault really, more of a timing issue. That's all.
Gwenog
Apr 5 2008, 06:49 PM
If JKR could tell Alan Rickman that Snape was in love with Lily, which is a very important factor I doubt that telling Yates to include the locket would be a major deal.
She didn't really need to tell him why he should include it just how and when. That's it. Timing issue? Well JKR always knew what she was doing obviously so either Yates didn't listen to her or she forgot to tell.
monkeymushroom
Apr 5 2008, 09:05 PM
Well, i think including the locket and Regulus Black would have given too much away. I already think that because it was easy for everyone to guess who RAB actually was purely because JKR had given us a major clue in Ootp book.But, i digress, it would be interesting to see what they will do with Regulus Black in this film; I'm quite perplexed by this casting actually because Regulus isn't in the book, and if they include him in this one it would give soo much away at once.
...But, hang on! Maybe theyw ill just use him for voice over...i mean think of this: Harry (at the end) opens the locket and finds a note, he reads it, but, in order for us audiences to know what it says, they will have the actor's voice (like David Yates already did in Ootp with Harry's voice over for his letter - for crying out loud, i'm beginning to think that's his signature technique: voice over!) in the background; and, maybe, we'll even catch a glimpse of someone (obviously in Harry's mind) switching the lockets but we don't see what they look like. But that is a good idea; maybe that is what David Yates in considering for this film, seeing as he's done it once before and he would like to put his identity into these films in some way or form, so why not do it this way. Good thinking, Director!

Yes, but we didn't actually get to hear/see that Snape was in love with Lily in OOTP or any other film for that matter (so Alan Rickman had been sworn to secrecy, and complied with that instruction). Whereas if Yates had been told to include the locket in the film OOTP, it would have been too obvious that this was indeed the major plot-line we had all suspected in HPB but didn't have confirmed until HPDH.
So, it was in effect, a timing issue.
Gwenog
Apr 6 2008, 06:33 PM
Er, what has it to do if you saw it or not? The point I was trying to make was that she is indeed giving away major facts and therefore that cannot be the problem. Maybe she already knew that they were going to leave that out and they wanted to shorten the storyline.
Too obvious? First of all, when you read the book was that too obvious too? So when you do the same in a movie it will be just the same effect as when you read it in the book. They could just mention it randomly and move on, just like in the book. It worked for the book so why shouldn't it work for the movies?
Anyway you seem to enjoy disagreeing, so I agree to disagree with you. I don't have anything else to add.
Magelirose
Apr 6 2008, 07:19 PM
Gwenog - the last thing I want to do is become personal with you - but I regret to say you are pushing me very hard.
Seeing as you don't mind me disagreeing with you (apparently) I will say this one last thing:
When you put something in a film that was apparently insignificant in the book (which all of us thought when we read it in OOTP, as it only became significant in HBP after DD died), then it will become all too obvious as being significant for those who haven't read the next book - which none of us had as it hadn't yet been published. When you see something on screen, it is automatically obvious. Not so when you read something which is smack-bang in the middle of a whole list of descriptive writing - which is how she mentioned the locket.
JKR said in one of her interviews (the latest one in fact, please see the link for the transcript in the News Comments boards) that she had not intended to make it obvious at all in the books that Snape loved Lily, and was therefore shocked to hear fans say to her "I think Snape loved Lily." I suspect that as a direct result of that, she made a vow to herself not to reveal any more than she had to. And to all intents and purposes, the locket was not something she felt she really had to reveal to any director or screen writer, as it didn't alter their plans for the films at that time. It only became significant in HBP - which they are in the process of filming now.
Please don't make this into anything personal. These posts contain my observations, and yet you seem to be completely bent on turning this into some kind of personal attack against those who disagree with your beliefs, and indeed against Yates himself. The point I am trying to make is that JKR did indeed give major points away, but not publicly, and certainly not for the film-makers to include until it was absolutely necessary. Alan Rickman did not reveal what his character was all about, nor did he reveal how his character meets his end. He did that to perpetuate the suspense for JKR's readers, not just for Yates' film-goers. JKR purposefully did not reveal that the locket needed to be included in the OOTP film as she knew that we had not yet convinced ourselves that it was as significant as we suspected it might be. So she was trying to maintain the suspense for us until the end.
Which she did.

To begin with guys it isnt David Yates' fault the locket was left out of the film. He didnt write the screenplay. JK Rowling has to approve the screenplay before it can be filmed so she would have indicated if it was relevant at the time. Nex i do believe Regulus is in the book. He is in the 'Sluggish Memory' chapter with Tom Riddle.

Really? I did not know that; i certainly didn't notice it when i read that chapter about a month ago. I recall, in the book, Slughorn mentioning Lestrange in his memory but i do not remember Regulus Black. Maybe it's some subtle detail i perhaps overlooked...
...Anyway...GUESS WHAT!! I don;t know if any of you spotted this today on any of the Harry Potter sites, but i found an interview with the actor who will play Regulus Black; he seems nice, i think he's cool; perfect for the role, since he is likeable.
But here it is:
InterviewAnd judging by this, and confirmation from David Yates, the question of whether or not this casting was true is answered, as Tom Moorcroft will play Regulus Black in Half-Blood Prince. However, apparently it was only a minor role - according to him - as they were just taking pictures of him to use in the film, to put one in a frame and place it in Slughorn's office for the party. I suppose that completely undermines my theory of them using his voice to say the note in the locket out loud...oh well...but i did think it would be a truly good idea if they did that as it would have underlined the note even further and made it clearer for the audience understand what it says, instead of them (us) having to look at the screen and read the writing; what if some of us can't read it quick enough. But (hey!) maybe they will do voice-over but not just yet because they have to film the scene first, where Harry reads the note.
I can't wait for this movie to come out!

Fine if it's your opinion I already said what my opinion is and if you still refer nonstop to me, you make a personal thing out of it. But I can't be bothered to be honest. I don't agree with you, okay? Can you please accept it?
"Seeing as you don't mind me disagreeing with you (apparently) I will say this one last thing"
especially those last things make a personal issue out of it but if you wanna argue you are on the wrong adress as we Germans like to say. Give it a rest okay?
Er and nope Regulus isn't in the sluggish memory. If I misread it can you give lines please
sherby_lemon, of course it can be that I missed that part or something.
Thanks for the interview
monkeymushroom 
. So he just shot a photo that will appear in the movie? Hmm...so is he going to wear the locket around his neck or what?

I think that would look rather odd.
Oh and by the way, didn't Slughorn just have the pictures of infleuntial pupils? How influential is a dead "death eater"? Or will it be shown in the memory part. Well I guess we have to wait and see...

No i think it said in the interview that it would be shown in slughorn's office...but hey, what do i know? Maybe they will use for his memory, but then, thinking about...hang on...actually...Regulus would never have existed over fifty years ago, which is when Voldemort was around, and that is what Slughorn's memory is all about. Actually, i do think that they will use the photo for Slughorn's get-together, so that Harry (aka. Daniel Radcliffe) would go up to a desk or something and see a picture of Slughorn shaking hands or putting his arm around a young Regulus Black - but harry won't know who he is, but he would look curiously like Sirius (his godfather).
Oh and i suppose they probably won't have the tea with Slughorn on the train, because it would make more sense for them to get together in Slughorn's office at Hogwarts, plus it would be easier given all the other scenes they have to include.

Errr...by the way guise

can we all please try to be nice to each other here...I know it's difficult because it gets very easy to offend on this site, but i see no reason for an argument. So i'm saying this for the sake of everyone, and especially the fate of this thread: PLEASE lets cool this down a bit.

I think the best thing to do is - even though it is extremely difficult for some, i understand - if we read a post that doesn't happen to share our opinion then we should just ignore it and meditate on our disgreement. If we want to say we disagree then fine, just say simply "we disagree" and that's that.

Thanks for the reminder Monkeymushroom. Sorry for getting a little heated there - all I wanted to do was put my observations across, and not get into some heated debate, but it must be the weather or something, as I found I was unable to maintain my self-control quite as easily as I ordinarily would .
So: Gwenog, let's keep it peaceful eh? I really don't mean to be personal with you, and I will do my level best not to get that way again in future. I would ask though, that you don't see my opinions/observations as personal attacks upon yours, because they're really not. Honestly.
Anyway, back on topic: Yeah, I think he looks the part, I think he looks remarkably like Gary Oldman, actually! I also think that they may call him back for HPDH at this rate (especially for Kreacher's memories regarding the locket and Regulus' instructions on what he was to do with it).
It is interesting that he was only filmed for the purposes of appearing in a photograph: I wonder if they will have DD and HP looking at it and noticing the locket? They've got to list all of the Horcruxes somehow, haven't they?
monkeymushroom
Apr 7 2008, 08:12 PM
I think they will just basically introduce him as an interesting character. It may not be such a good idea if he was associated with the locket too soon before the next two films because otherwise it would ruin the plot twist. They should keep his character in because he is relevant in the next film, plus it would hint some sort of a clue to his status with the locket, which is much better than giving it away by having him wear it round his neck in a photo. The audience, afterall, are supposed to find out about who RAB is in Deathley Hallows, not in Half-Blood Prince.

Thanks so much monkeymushroom!
I'm that kind of person that when I read a book and really really love it, and then someone comes up with the great idea of turning it into a book, I get totally nervous and start to freak out... Seriously, that happened to me when I first heard about WB wanting to make HP into a movie. The nervousness and anxiety has kept coming back for each movie.
I was very freaked out when they chose Mrs. McCrory for Narcissa. I think of her as a very strong character, and I really wanted someone great to play her. Sadly, I didn't even know about her previous works before her being casted, and the shock that she was the one to play Bellatrix instead of Helena Bonham Carter... No way! She's the perfect Bellatrix!
Now, after seeing the picture, I can rest. I've heard she's a great performer, and what was missing for me was the Cissy look. She's got it now! She totally looks like Bellatrix! (Weird enough, I thought she might be wearing sleeves... Not complaining though! I really like her! She's a total Malfoy!)
Witherwings
Apr 13 2008, 11:14 PM
Haha, yeah I thought she'd be wearing sleeves, like a medieval-ish dress or something...

I suppose that's just the way I draw her, lol.
My too at first when they cast her, (and by the way I really wanted Cate Blanchett to play Narcissa) I was disappointed, because I'd never heard of this actress and I thought she looked too old...

But that's probably just the pictures I was seeing. I've become more and more, well... familiar with her though, and just when I'm starting to think she'lll be really good there comes the picture!

I think with that wig (which I am extreeeemely happy they used- it looks perfect) she looks just like Narcissa and I'm sure she'll be great. I think, too, that now Cate Blanchett might not have been such a great choice. I think for some reason she looks too... young?

I dunno, I think Helen looks a bit more... natural... like she has more of that mother-of-a-teenage-boy-going-through-horrible-things kind of look.
monkeymushroom
Apr 14 2008, 04:26 PM
I'm soo glad everyone likes the picture; i do - definitely! I think she reminds me so much of how i pictured narcissa in the book. I always thought of her as kind of young, and, you know, pretty. Well they've done just that and given Helen McCrory that look.
I really love it when you see a fictional character (like a cartoon or something) come to life on screen. That is exactly what has happened here. Its like seeing your favourite cartoon charactes looking exactly how they are but with real people playing them.
I cannot wait to see the movie now. I wonder how that scene with Narcissa/Helen is going to be played; I wonder what scene it is - oh i hope its the Snape scene! It kind of looks like it in the picture, what with Helen/Narcissa jogging looking scared and worrisome. I tell you what, the fact that she isn't wearing that much (lack-of-sleeves wise), not even a cloak in this picture, really expresses how distressed she is. She's almost like a Nancy (from Oliver!) figure - whether that's a good thing or a bad thing i'm not sure, i mean Nancy is a kind charcater and Narcissa is supposed to be caring for her family but still rather snooty.
Narcissa Close upHey Guys! You've yet to see this other new picture of Helen McCrory as Narcissa Malfoy. I'm not sure whether it was the screen test or whether it is a close-up of her in a scene. Her face does look a bit weird close up, but i'm not about to judge - it might be just the camera, or it may be the way Helen expresses her emotions on screen.

If any of you are still in doubt of Helen McCrory's acting abilities, you should be aware of some of the films she's has appeared in, in the past.
Interview with a Vampire
Charlotte Grey
Casanova
Becoming Jane
The Queen (playing Cherie Blair)
She appears in the soon to be released Flashbacks of a Fool alongside Daniel Craig. She has a huge repatoire on stage particularly in Shakespeare plays like Twelfth Night and Macbeth. And will shortly appear on the stage in the play Rosmersholm. Helen is married to actor Damien Lewis and if you take a look at some of the images of her on
this unofficial website you will, I am sure agree that she is more than equipped to play Bellatrix Lestranges better looking sister!
She talked in an online interview with the Daily Mail about playing Narcissa in HBP and in Deathly Hallows.

I am soo happy, it was the scene with Bellatrix and Snape they were filming. So they will include that bit in the film, which is good - i can't wait to watch that bit. I think that's what the close up of Narcissa was all about: she was filmed talking in a scene, with i suppose Snape.

monkeymushroom
Apr 28 2008, 11:03 PM
The thing is, even if an actor or actress looks in contrast to the charcater he or she is playing, doesn't mean they are not right for the part; that is just one photo, i bet there are more of her that make her look different. Plus, we shouldn't go judging her right away - you never know, she might be a good actress and, particularly with all the makeup they'll give her, she might even be the part when we actually see her in action.
Anyway, i think she kind of looked like that other actor who is going to play Amycus; that would be cool if they cast people who look like each other, who are supposed to play siblings.
I always imagine - in the book - her to be kind of innocent looking anyway...not too sinister...i don't know why though. Perhaps its the fact that they are brother and sister, and they are clearly characters who care for one another, and that makes me feel sorry for them in the book, in a way. I don't know about you lot, but i'm glad they've picked youthful-looking people to play these characters!

monkeymushroom
May 3 2008, 10:20 PM
Yeah! I just realised that two, but on this other website (it shows pictures/photos coming from the books and the films, such as actors, screenshots, promotionals etc).
I was just gonna ask, who is this guy? It said underneath, Lucius, but i didn't understand what this meant. I had a feeling it was possibly supposed to be Lucius Malfoy when he was younger, but i don't get it ... why would they include such an irrevalent background character into the story, it just doesn't make much sense. Unless they're doing what they did for the casting of young Regulus Black and they're taking photos of the actor so they can use them for the Slughorn scene, explaining how Lucius was once a favourite of his at school; it would be one of the moving photographs you see on slughorn's desk, probably, what Harry sees as well; it would emphasis the fact that Malfoy isn't loved like his father was, and he feels excluded in a way just because of the family he comes from.
Oh and here is a picture
young Lucius (kinda looks like Draco a bit, aka, Tom Felton ...)

young Lucius? Maybe he is one of LV's classmates and is shown in the scene with Slughorn...though I don't remember him being mentioned.
The only young Lucius mentioned in the whole series is when Snape is put to Slytherin and Lucius is a prefect...sounds rather odd to me...seems like they want to add useless and wrong stuff again..

May 4 2008, 10:14 AM
Don't worry peeps, i found an interview with the actor:
InterviewApparently, they didn't use him for a moving photograph, like they did with young Regulus Black, they filmed a dinner scene with him and Slughorn so it's probably one of Slughorn's memories. It's cool coz he really does look like Jason Issacs and a bit like Tom Felton - that is very very good casting, i think ... they're getting better, those casting agents.
But i dont think he's one of Lord Voldemort's classmates because, clearly, he was at school when Snape was at school, so he's not the right age. Plus, he wasn't mentioned in any of the Slughorn sequences in the book, so its probably another one of those added scenes. But, then again, seeing as this is a David Yates film we're talking about, it would probably be a quick 'flash' scene where we don't see much of Lucius.
Oh, and not only is he playing young Lucius, but apparently he is an extra on the Dumbledore death scene, with McGonnagal, Hagrid, Harry, the deatheaters and of course Dumbledore - well, at least we know who's gonna be in that scene. I am soo excited to see the movie.

Why did they cast someone to pley the young Lucius Malfoy.He was younger than Voldemort, they weren't friends at school, right? I read that he is in scenes with slughorn..what scenes is he in?

Apparently, his scenes include one where he is at a dinner with Slughorn.
Recently I posted up a story about ariel video footage shown on the BBC in our Daily News threads. The story has appeared on the main news page today along with an image that is allegedly of the Gaunt's cottage.
Here is the picture and
video.
I was of the understanding that the Gaunts had been cut from HBP but why have their house if they aren't in the film? Perhaps there was a change of heart, what do you all think?

I reckon that rundown house looks more like the Weasley's Burrow, but the reason why it looks all tatty and broken is probably because it is not possible to build the proper Weasley house, with the large tower and everything, by hand, so they digitise it and blend it into the rest that we see in the picture.
Then again, maybe it could be the Gaunt's house, but that is a slim chance.
I've heard they have cast alot of extra roles for this movie: there is a character called Sofie in a scene, which is, apparently, at the beginning of the film (one that may mean this film will stay true to the book afterall). I can't wait.

Who is Sofie? I can't remember anyone named that in the beginning of the book. but i am so excited that this film is going to be a lot like the book! The extra characters make it have a lot more details.

Tony Coburn as young Lucious Malfoy thats brillant. As i've seen him on you tube doing acting etc.

He seems fairly talented. I wonder if i'll be able to recownise him in wizard robes.

Yeah they did mention about adding a scene that wasn't in the book, so that may be it.

Apparently they had to shoot a scene from two different angles, I wonder if this is the scene he meant as it would be chaotic with running about and fighting.

Did you actually hear that the guy who was supposed to play Marcus Belby in the HBP was stabbed to death? Well he obviously had just a small part but I wonder if they are going to replace him or if they already recorded his part. It's sad though...

My that is depressing. It is really sad. And it's recent! i haven't heard about it, possibly on the evening news maybe?
Anyway i am almost certain that they would of filmed his part by now which means it should be a good memorial sort of thing for him. There's a chance that they may sort of dedicate it partly to him.

yeah, they've already filmed him in his scenes.
Bet they will have some sort of meassge at the end of the film remebering Robert Knox.

I saw that Marcus Belby's actor, Robert Knox, had been killed but I didnt know how he died. But I assumed that foul play had been involved because they said killed not just died. That is terrible, they better have some kind of remembrance for him.

Yeah, thats real sad about Rob Knox. He was apparently stabbed to death by someone after leaving a nightclub one night. I hope they do have some message at the end of HBP like "In Memory of Robert Knox" or something.

Are the Dursleys in the movie? I dont know if this was already disscussed, but I haven't really heard anything about them for this movie so im guessing not. It would probably be okay to leave them out, but I didn't like when they were cut in GOF. Harry goes back to the Dursleys every summer and I think they should show that in the movie.

They probably will include the Dursley's in this one because they've got the bit where Dumbledore comes to collect Harry. Apparently Dumbledore has a joke in that scene, where he says he likes knitting or something like that.

Awww, i can't believe this. I've found a picture of the funeral of Rob Knox and Rupert Grint was there: i noticed he was crying and i felt so sorry for him. I also feel sorry for the rest of the friends and family of Robert Knox. I wonder what the reactions of Dan, Emma and the rest of the HP cast were at the funeral, they havn't shown pictures of them yet.
Rupert at funeralThey better have some sort of statement at the end of the movie, like 'in memory of Robert Knox' or something like that, because that would be an insult to his memory, and also his family might want that so they can remember him for his hard work.

I think the character that I would like to play is Slughorn, but his a litlle bit older

, maybe Hagrid, His not so important in this film, from my point of view...
