Half-Blood Prince to be Moaning-Less
Half-Blood Prince to be Moaning-Less Potter fansite SnitchSeeker.com caught up with the agency who represents Shirley Henderson, the actress who has played Moaning Myrtle in Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire.

It was confirmed that Henderson will not be appearing in Half-Blood Prince, meaning Myrtle will not be there to console Draco before the sectumsempra scene. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

Uuuhhhhhh, damnit! I wanted this scene! Or maybe he'll be crying by himself...


Posted by Kaammini May 14th 2008

What? No! She's like one of the most amusing characters...


Posted by UK_Wildcat May 14th 2008

NOO... I loved her. She's one of the people I could immitate. 3!


Posted by harriett_potter May 14th 2008

Oh noes!!!!1 I think the scene would make much more sense if she was there...


Posted by Spungen May 14th 2008

I always wonder why they don't include characters. Myrtle isn't the most important character in the series, but she definitely brings something to the table. Now it makes me wonder how the sectumsempra scene will be played.


Posted by peroxwhy_gen May 14th 2008

To be honest, I'll be shocked if Sectumsempra is included.


Posted by Lunai May 14th 2008

Well, we already know that the Sectumsempra scene is in there because of an interview with Tom (I think?) so unless they edit it out, it will be there. Maybe they got someone else to play Myrtle? It is a possibility, you never know, unless they just cut the character out completely?


Posted by Becca876 May 14th 2008

Oooh I hate it when they do this! Not that it's a big surprise really. I mean, why would they follow the books? It's not like the books came first or the movies are based off of the books at all...


Posted by kyleftw826 May 14th 2008

"Half-Blood Prince to be Moaning-Less" ....Thats what she said


Posted by Rose37 May 14th 2008

There is no small parts only small actors and actresses. Remember that!!!


Posted by tiassa May 14th 2008

NOOOOO! They are going to butcher up that scene!


Posted by kaj9201 May 14th 2008

Well, she honestly isn't needed in the Sectumsempra scene is she?? Draco could just be crying in the bathroom...


Posted by HarGin7 May 14th 2008

I hope they do include Dobby though! I really miss Dobby!!!


Posted by Magicalme4706 May 14th 2008

:-( i understand them not having myrtle in the sceen but with her in it we saee draco as a boy who needs other people for support and is scared, with out her it is he is a scared boy who dosnt need any one help or any one to see him weak.... im sure it would be good either way..


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

What do you mean they don't need Myrtle in that scene?! She's important in that scene!!! Screw them for cutting out Myrtle! It's their own fault when they get bad reviews for butchering the movie and taking out every important character and part and replacing it with unneeded characters and scenes!


Posted by peroxwhy_gen May 14th 2008

But why would Draco be crying in the bathroom alone? And who is going to alert Snape that there's been "MURDER IN THE BATHROOM!" Is he just going to walk by and say "Hm, I need a tinkle. POTTER! HOW DARE YOU HEX MALFOY WITH MY OWN SPELL!'


Posted by Harry1Potter1Loony May 14th 2008

Oh Stop the whinig!!! :@:@:@:@ Just thank God they put the scene in the first place!! And myrtle won't decide the story or the plot : SHE IS JUST A CHARACTER!!!:@:@ and honestly u dont except to put EVERYTHING from the book in a two hour movie!! :@:@:@:@ KEEP RUINING THE MOVIE FOR URSELVES BOOK WORMS!!!:@:@


Posted by HarGin7 May 14th 2008

I totally agree with you, why do they need to add more characters and situations if they have all they need in the books????? Its all in there and it is perfect!!!!


Posted by Harry1Potter1Loony May 14th 2008

Hargin7 are u with me or against me? or are u talking to someone else? :@


Posted by HarGin7 May 14th 2008

I agree with Fia by the way, not with Harry1Potter1Loony. We love these books so much, we just want the filmmakers to be faithful to them


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

I totally agree with you peroxwhy_gen! I mean, it's HIGHLY unlikely Snape is going to walk by that PARTICULAR bathroom at that SAME time and decide randomly to use the bathroom and catch Harry casting the spell. I mean, come on! Or, is harry going to cast the spell, run away (leaving Malfoy bleeding), and Snape come to the bathroom and decide Harry casted the spell? Or have they decided to introduce another needless character to catch Harry in the act of casting the spell? If so, why bother? Might as well use Myrtle! She WAS there in the first place!


Posted by HPfan4eva111 May 14th 2008

no!!!! well does that mean that harry will still curse draco??!? i wanted to see that scene sooo much! =(


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

Thanks for your support HarGin7! What will happen to this scene??They've ruined it!


Posted by obsessedwithhp21 May 14th 2008

Ah man... I was really wanting to see Malfoy cry to Moaning Myrtle! It's just so ironic and hilarious! D: Oh well....


Posted by Harry1Potter1Loony May 14th 2008

is the scene in or out?


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

That's a real good question... Knowing them, probably out, and replaced with an unneeded scene.


Posted by Dragon_queen4ever May 14th 2008

no surprise here


Posted by Dragon_queen4ever May 14th 2008

no surprise here


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

More annoyance than surprise?


Posted by hmrpotter May 14th 2008

I'm really not surprised...if they couldn't bother to put in the Gaunts - who were important to this book - in, then they wouldn't bother with her, since she was only in one or two scenes. I'm pretty sure that they left out Dobby too, which means that they will be f***ed big time when it's time to shoot DH.


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

Obviously. This is a disaster in the making.


Posted by fredwluv May 14th 2008

I don't think it's THAT BIG of a deal...As long as the sectumsempra scene is in there, I think it's okay. I think there's alot more in the movie that we should be concerned about.


Posted by Dobbyroxmysoxs May 14th 2008

I comepletely agree with peroxwhy_gen I mean how would Snape just be walking by and be like "Oy Potter how dare you almost kill Draco while I'm passing by which seems very convienient." I understand that not everything from the books is going to make it into the movie(personally I wouldn't mind a 10 hour movie, but hey whatchya gonna do!) but why take out something that really isn't going to be that much of a time eater anyway? Just doesn't make sense.


Posted by luckyirish May 14th 2008

nooooooooooooooo. they can't get rid of Myrtle


Posted by phoenix_knight May 14th 2008

MYRTLE IS AN ANNOYING CHARACTER ANYWAY, SHE'S LIKE PEEVES! I'M GLAD SHE'S NOT IN HBP! ESPECIALLY IN GOBLET OF FIRE, SHE WAS TRYING TO SEE HARRY'S YOU-KNOW -WHAT'S!!! I HATED THAT SCENE, IF I WAS HARRY, AND IF SHE WAS HUMAN, I WOULDA PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE HARD!


Posted by Erfa May 14th 2008

While Myrtle isn't necessary in that scene, it's strange that she's not in it. It's easier to do with her. At least the Sectumsempra scene will be in it, so I really don't care about Myrtle. ^_^


Posted by HarGin7 May 14th 2008

I cant believe they are also cutting the Gaunts!!! There is a horcrux there!!!


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

Can we just agree on one fact? Here it is: THE DIRECTORS ARE INSANE AND ARE CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM CREATIVE BUTCHERING!


Posted by angelina_johnson92 May 14th 2008

Who can they not have Myrtle even though they are having the scene? Because the girl who visited the set wrote in her report that Tom and Dan already filmed the scene! I really liked Sherly Henderson even though she is like 42 or something.


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

They are also going to be in a heap of trouble when it comes to making Deathly Hallows.


Posted by the_shrieking_snack May 14th 2008

Yup, there goes all the context of the sectumsempra scene. Now it'll probably be like, Draco comes out of a stall, Harry sees him and asks if he can borrow some toilet paper and draco's like "No, go find your own." And them harry's like "Punk! Sectumsempra!!!!!!!" *slash!* *blood.*


Posted by hpintwense06 May 14th 2008

That's interesting, but totally doesn't mean that they couldn't do the scene still. idk, who knows.


Posted by kreacher888 May 14th 2008

BULL S H I T . yall this movie is gonna absolutely suck!


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

Ya think? I like your idea shrieking shack!


Posted by Lonnie May 14th 2008

Well as long as the sectumsempra scene is in, I dont really care. But it would've been nice to see the interaction between Draco and Myrtle


Posted by peroxwhy_gen May 14th 2008

I could see that, the_shrieking_snack. But of course Snape has to magically pop up outside the door too. Or you know, it could be Kreacher who finds them. "MASTER HARRY HAS KILLED KREACHER'S TRUE MASTER! NOOOO!"


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

I like that! That would be interesting! Then Kreacher would call Snape, and Snape would kill Harry, so they don't have to deal with book 7! And Neville would kill Voldemort!


Posted by rooon May 14th 2008

Dude!! That sucks! I love her character! Oh well, I guess you can't fit everything in, right?


Posted by Fia May 14th 2008

In most cases, yes, that would be true... In our case, no. They take out important stuff and add useless stuff.


Posted by dobbyXkreacher May 14th 2008

aww darn!! that sucks so much i loved that scene in the book
