Harry Potter & Half Blood Prince - the movie news

[Snowflake]

Well, November 2008 is the proposed release date.

Ron's snogging partner has been cast (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071114/film_nm/britain_potter_dc), I find the use of the term experienced to be hilarious. Silly sense of humor I guess.

I couldn't find any pix - I would love to see what she looks like.

Also, it looks like they have announced Slughorn (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/) - he will be played by Jim Broadbent (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000980/).

Brilliant casting! He'll be perfect!

Can't take credit for these... Tom sent them to me earlier today.

Good. Now I have a deadline by which to finally finish the book.

Broadbent's casting is old news, and brilliant.

I just re-read this one, because I frelling hated it ... with an eye toward how it could be adapted into a successful film. It's possible, but will take quite a lot of doing. There's enough in there to make a good movie ... but they will have to do a lot of judicious trimming and re-arranging to avoid the sensation that nothing happens until a really exciting final 20 minutes.

[Snowflake]

Thanks to Tom (and you Heidi) for the links. Broadbent's casting was new news to me and I still say he will be totally brilliant as Slughorn.

I will have to re-read the book, too, I know I did not like it a lot, but I liked it more than Order of the Phoenix, which I still don't like.

Only a year more to speculate on the movie. ;)

See I liked Half-Hard Prince, even if it only amounted to a buildup for an admittedly spectacular ending (and book 7).

At least we know part 7 is good!! So even if if this one is just buildup for the eventual Pottergasm, you know you'll see it opening weekend.

more for me to drool about while I sit in public servitude.

Admittedly, I liked Half-Hard Prince better the second time around ... mostly because I imagined one could play up the Slughorn memory retrieval scams and Ron's snogfest girlfriend problems to good comic effect in a film (and hopefully minimize the snoozefest of Harry's Malfoy obsession and lame Voldemort childhood memory pensieve sessions).

Um, I think Book 7 will need some major adaptation work to make a good film, too.


Hmm, Book 7. Book 7. Anything come to mind, Cherny, when I say Book 7??

[Kevy Baby]

Hmm, Book 7. Book 7. Anything come to mind, Cherny, when I say Book 7??Booking a reservation for seven people?

Seven people getting arrested?

Yeah, that someone in this very apartment reading this apartment's only copy right now and HOPEFULLY won't get cheese in between the pages ;)

I once borrowed a library book titled: "How to Hug" and found that I'd borrowed Book 7 of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. :rolleyes:

I choked on my coffee! Very funny!

[Gemini Cricket]

Cherny,
I have a copy you can borrow...

[innerSpaceman]

Yes, let's all give Cherny our copies of Book 7. He can build a Potter pyramid.

It would fall over and crush him.

Or a ziggurat.

Had to look up that word yesterday.

I just thought of another one....

I just borrowed a book called "Dare To Fvck" and it turned out to be Volume 4 of the Encyclopaedia.

That's the ruuuuude version... :evil:

The ABC Family Family channel is playing all of the HP movies today and every so often show previews and behind-the-scenes stuff (quick character interviews, etc.) from The Half Hung Prince (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/).

[flippyshark]

Are they still going ahead with the plan to make book 7 into two movies? Because I think that 's unwise. The first movie will get all bogged down in the endless camping trip. bicker - move tent - bicker some more - move tent - oh I did not enjoy that part of the book at all.
