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...
What? No! She's like one of the most amusing characters...
NOO... I loved her. She's one of the people I could immitate. 3!
Oh noes!!!!1 I think the scene would make much more sense if she was there...
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.
To be honest, I'll be shocked if Sectumsempra is included.
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?
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...
"Half-Blood Prince to be Moaning-Less" ....Thats what she said
There is no small parts only small actors and actresses. Remember that!!!
NOOOOO! They are going to butcher up that scene!
Well, she honestly isn't needed in the Sectumsempra scene is she?? Draco could just be crying in the bathroom...
I hope they do include Dobby though! I really miss Dobby!!!
:-( 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..
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!
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!'
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!!!:@:@
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!!!!
Hargin7 are u with me or against me? or are u talking to someone else? :@
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
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!
no!!!! well does that mean that harry will still curse draco??!? i wanted to see that scene sooo much! =(
Thanks for your support HarGin7! What will happen to this scene??They've ruined it!
Ah man... I was really wanting to see Malfoy cry to Moaning Myrtle! It's just so ironic and hilarious! D: Oh well....
is the scene in or out?
That's a real good question... Knowing them, probably out, and replaced with an unneeded scene.
no surprise here
no surprise here
More annoyance than surprise?
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.
Obviously. This is a disaster in the making.
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.
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.
nooooooooooooooo. they can't get rid of Myrtle
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!
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. ^_^
I cant believe they are also cutting the Gaunts!!! There is a horcrux there!!!
Can we just agree on one fact? Here it is: THE DIRECTORS ARE INSANE AND ARE CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM CREATIVE BUTCHERING!
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.
They are also going to be in a heap of trouble when it comes to making Deathly Hallows.
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.*
That's interesting, but totally doesn't mean that they couldn't do the scene still. idk, who knows.
BULL S H I T . yall this movie is gonna absolutely suck!
Ya think? I like your idea shrieking shack!
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
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!"
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!
Dude!! That sucks! I love her character! Oh well, I guess you can't fit everything in, right?
In most cases, yes, that would be true... In our case, no. They take out important stuff and add useless stuff.
aww darn!! that sucks so much i loved that scene in the book
