Rumor Alert: New "Half-Blood Prince" Photo and More
HBP FilmWe have a few pieces of news and rumors regarding Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to update you on.
First, thanks to Oclumencia via HarryPotterforum, who emailed regarding what they believe to be a new photo of Harry (Dan Radcliffe) from “Half-Blood Prince.” While you can see that photo, here via this link, we do not know the original source of this photo, nor what scene this may be from, and are working to find out more about this.
Also, as we all have been anxiously awaiting the teaser trailer for the sixth Harry Potter film, it looks (at this point) that the rumor about the trailer being attached to Prince Caspian opening this weekend is not holding true, alas alas. We have heard nothing new about when the trailer may surface in the coming days, and we promise we will update should we hear anything more on this matter. Sorry folks!
On a related note, while her name was not listed in the official WB press release regarding the cast for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, SnitchSeeker let us know they spoke to reps for actress Shirley Henderson, who confirmed indeed the actress would not be appearing as Moaning Myrtle in HBP. Finally, last week we told you of minor casting for the sixth Harry Potter movie, with Lord Johnpaul Castrianni cast in the role of a un -named Death Eater. Bloghogwarts spoke to the actor, who did not reveal much detail about his involvement in the movie, but did say “My scenes were filmed several months ago and I finished in february (2008). I was in the scenes regarding Alan Rickman, Dan, Michael (Dumbledore) Tom (Malfoy) and several other cast who I believe have not been officialy published by Warner Brothers yet, so unfortunatly I cannot comment on that yet.”
Thanks to all who emailed!

WAIT!! Not until the Dark Knight??? But that doesn’t come out until JULY!!! OMG!!! OK, I have to go have a major tantrum right now. Back later.
(Thanks, Bella! It would be very cool if that was right! I am sure it will prove to be something 180 degrees the other way, LOL, that seems to be how it always goes. At least we have some small piece of something to speculate on for a bit!)

The “S.” is in the corner, on the side facing us. It is very hard to see, I have to get close to my screen in order to see it, stupid LCD.

Oops, splinched myself.
Thanks, Lady Whizbee! I will try that. On the strikethroughs, its from using the dashes and a space between the dash and the words, so if I do this:
- OMG – it should get a strikethrough, but this way:
O-M-G it should not, because there are no spaces. No watch, it will be completely different than what I said, LOL, but that seems to be how it happens. :)

@ Lady Whizbee: It does that strikethrough thing every time you use a dash and don’t put a space between the dash and the next word, like this. I think if you put a space between the dash and the next word, it will work out okay – like this.
(I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that works, otherwise I’ll look like a right idiot, LOL.)

Yep, no strikethrough. Maybe it needs to be inside a line of type. I’ll try one more thing.
I want that – trailer – so – bad!

Hm. Sorry, Lady Whizbee, I have no clue how you are getting the strikethroughs, then! LOL
Thanks, Bella, I will look for it again, Lady Whizbee told me how to enlarge it, hopefully that will make it clearer.

finally there’s a new photo, but it doesn’t give out much info about the movie. im so sad about the trailer though, i was going tomorrow to see prince caspian just so i could watch the trailer.

No problem, LemonFaerie—it’s a good theory, or at least one that I want to be true, even if it doesn’t end up being close, it’s something to hope for!
Side note: I thought your avatar said “acne class” at first, haha. :D

LOL, Bella! Maybe I should resize it to try to get the “D” in there! hahahaha
Oh, Ashley figured out the strikethroughs! Good job!

Hmmm… what looks like the door to me is warped. Does that make sense with the Burrow too? I mean, considering that Harry’s impression of it was that it was held together by magic…. Maybe that’s actually just more curtains, I don’t know.








And thank you, Twilight troll, for not being funny at all..
Anyway, the pic rocks, I love his hair! * ruffles *

Based on the set report from a few days ago, where she described the Slughorn classroom as having lots of gold elements, I would venture that this is Harry looking for the bezoar. He may not looked panicked, but he wasn’t in that scene, that was when Ron nearly died in Slughorn’s office. In the classroom he was concentrated, and that’s how he looks to me. I would doubt the whole detention scene is in.
