Wiken Magazine visits Half-Blood Prince set
Wiken Magazine visits Half-Blood Prince set Our friends at DanRadcliffe.com have a new set report online from a Chilean magazine called Wiken. In it, they talk with Dan Radcliffe and speak about several different aspects of Leavesden Studios (where all the Potter films are shot). Of interest to those clamoring for new Half-Blood Prince news, they talk about Horace Slughorn's Christmas party:

Wikén witnessed a scene during a filming day. In it, the new Potions Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Horace Slughorn (played by the British actor Jim Broadbent, known by supporting roles in classic movies such as "Brazil and "Richard the Third"), celebrates a Christmas party in his room for a selected group of students. Slughorn walks from one group to another chatting with his guests, trying to gain his favourite students' favour.

After a second take, the filming team watches the repetition of this scene through some monitors. As the director David Yates leaves the place, he gives some additional instructions. A few meters away, actors and actresses of other scenes wait very focused, seated in white plastic chairs outside the set where scenes are being filmed.

Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Mar 26th 2008

I'm quite glad this one isn't totally dark! I like the darkness of the movies but I just look forward to seeing more of the comedy and romance! =]


Posted by lilpotterfan Mar 26th 2008

is anyone else.. upset? over the faact the this movie is going to be revolving around the romance? and its going to be comical...??? what about Dumbledore's death, the horacruxes, snape? I belive THOSE are what this movie should be surrounding.


Posted by Ganger345 Mar 26th 2008

The movie probably won't just center around the romance. There'll be plenty of all the serious stuff. But the sixth book is when everyone starts getting romances, so it will be exciting to see some new stuff. Personally I'm pretty pumped for all the love.


Posted by Ganger345 Mar 26th 2008

Some comedy wouldn't be so bad either. The movies don't have to always be dark and depressing.


Posted by str8_up_lee Mar 26th 2008

i noe lol! haha
