“The scenes being shot here will be featured in both parts 1 & 2 of The Deathly Hallows. Night scenes and day action were shot by both film units; these include the capture of Harry, Ron and Hermione by the Snatchers (who then deliver them to Malfoy Manor), several scenes involving the Death Eaters and a scene in which Ron chases a rabbit through the forest!”
Those on hand included Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, David Legeno (Fenrir Greyback), the Snatchers, as well as close to 20 Death Eaters.

“Jim is not a small, fat man. He is tall and strong,” [costume designer Jany Temime] said. “So we had to change and adapt.” To do that, Temime used all of J.K. Rowling’s atmospheric detail to tell the story of Slughorn through his clothes rather than his size.
She explains: “Everything we did for his costumes was very rich, but also very used, because he’s not a rich man anymore. He hasn’t worked for a long time. He is a bit of a has-been. But his clothes, even if they were from 20 years ago, were once upon a time, very rich and very glamorous. So we went for ‘Old Glamour’ when designing.
The piece is a very interesting read. Check out the whole article right here!
Poesy to begin Deathly Hallows filming shortly
Thanks to Will and Snitch Seeker for the tip!
Well, yeah, this Slytherin scion has done everything in his power to put the whammy on Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his mini-Scooby crew since page 1. Plus, he’s blond…and, in movies, blond kids are almost always bad news.
Congratulations Draco Malfoy
Hot Topic and Warner Brothers have just announced a Potter fan panel with Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton, Leaky Cauldron webmistress Melissa Anelli, and myself on July 10th at 7 PM EST in Paramus, NJ! From their press release:
On Friday, July 10, beginning at 7:00 p.m., Felton, who plays Harry’s arch rival, Draco Malfoy in the film series, will visit the Hot Topic store at the Garden State Plaza and participate in a VIP signing for 750 lucky fans who purchased the special-edition Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince T-shirt.
Starting today, while supplies last, Hot Topic will give fans the opportunity to own the limited-edition Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince T-shirt, available exclusively at the Hot Topic store at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey. The first 750 fans to purchase these specially designed T-shirts will receive a wristband, gaining them access to the Hot Topic in-store signing event on July 10, where they will have the opportunity to meet Felton and have him autograph a special Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince poster.
So, if you’re in the Paramus area, get down to that Hot Topic and make sure to purchase the shirt! I’ll see you there in a few weeks! For the full Press Release, click the link below.
Continuing with its countdown to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the LA Times has a new interview with Arthur Weasley actor, Mark Williams. The interview focuses, mostly, on the character of Mr. Weasley throughout the series and Williams also jokes about taking some props home: If you could, once all of the films are done, take something from the set, what would it be?
In the Weasley household, there is a clock that shows where everybody is. It’s the most beautiful piece of prop-making. Lots of that is unappreciated and you just go on the set and you’re like ‘Oh my God!’ You just want to give it a close-up … The hands are the ends of scissors, and it says things like ’school,’ ‘work’ … and one of the sections says ‘in mortal peril.’ I’d love that. And it doesn’t work, by the way, cause I’ve been in mortal peril and it didn’t say anything. I’ve come back and it just said ‘at work.’
Enjoy the rest of the interview here.

BND.com is reporting that the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago set a new attendance record on June 19th with 19,995 attendees. It is the highest single-day attendance in 10 years!Who’s to thank? The Museum offered free admission that day to commemorate their 76th anniversary, which brought additional crowds out to see Harry Potter: the Exhibition.

As part of their ongoing Half-Blood Prince sneak peek series, the Los Angeles Times has a new interview with Jessie Cave. She’ll be playing Lavender Brown in Half-Blood Prince. In the interview, Jessie touches on all aspects of the film including how she initially got the role:
Q: For your final audition, what scene did you get to act out with Rupert?
A: We actually had to improvise for a good 15 or 20 minutes, which is very scary. It’s a really long time. The director, David Yates, was there and he was just like, “Hi. Right. Here’s a plate of biscuits, Jessie. It’s a lovely plate of chocolate biscuits and I want you to do whatever you want with these biscuits.’ Rupert was in the room, sitting on the sofa, and I just thought, ‘What the hell am I going to do with this plate of biscuits?’
Q: What did you end up doing?
A: I thought, ‘I’m just going to go for it.’ And I think Rupert was a bit scared, really. The biscuits were past the sofa, away from me so I kind of just tangled myself around Rupert and just made it really obvious that I didn’t really care about the biscuits. I just wanted to be near him. I think he was quite scared.
A few days ago we told you about the first part of Electronic Arts’ Making of the Half-Blood Prince video game series. They’ve now posted Part 2, which focuses on Quidditch and can be seen at this link! This part is also hosted by Tom Felton and includes interviews with the cast and crew.
Thanks to Kathleen for the tip!

The stream will start on July 7th at 3 PM EST at this link courtesy The Press Association. We’ll also remind you closer to the event.
Emma Watson is Teen Vogue’s August cover star
Teen Vogue has let us know about their stunning new photoshoot with Emma Watson. She will be featured on Teen Vogue’s August issue cover! With the photoshoot also comes a new interview where Emma discusses her future after the Potter series: It’s not uncommon for working actresses Emma’s age to apply to college, but she is quite unique in her determination to give it a serious go. Perhaps that’s because she’s still not 100 percent sure she even wants to be a movie star when she grows up. “There’s not, like, a burning passion in me,” she admits, “that I have to act and I don’t care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione—like, I felt that it was life or death—I don’t want to act again.”
Teen Vogue also posted some other features related to Emma’s photoshoot: a behind the scenes gallery, a video, a fashion timeline, and how to get Emma’s style.
The Los Angeles Times has an interesting piece on how a recent slump in DVD sales may effect Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’s performance. Or will it? [WB President Alan] Horn said he doesn’t expect the soft DVD market to hamper sales of “Half-Blood Prince” because it’s a “unique property.” He believes that although budget-conscious consumers have become more selective about the DVDs they purchase, they have been demonstrating a desire to own big films like “Potter,” “Transformers,” “Twilight” and Warner Bros.’ “The Dark Knight,” which according to The-Numbers.com was 2008’s top DVD with more than 12.7 million units sold domestically.
Although Horn took a lot of flak from “Potter” fans when the studio pushed back the release of “Half-Blood Prince” to July from last November, the move may help boost DVD sales because the film will be released during the heavy gift-buying holiday season.
That last sentence confirms that the Half-Blood Prince DVD will indeed see a release before the holiday season! Thanks to Foss for the tip.
A Potter fan put them all together into a YouTube video, which you can see at this link.
How do you think the soundtrack is shaping up? Let us know in the comments! Thanks to Nataliee for the tip.

David Yates talks Deathly Hallows from the set
It was about 3:20 a.m. yesterday when my phone rang: It was David Yates, the soft-spoken British director whose second “Harry Potter” film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” arrives in theaters across America on July 15. He sounded apologetic: “It’s quite early there isn’t it? Thanks for doing this, mate.”
Despite the hour, it was my pleasure to take the call — Yates is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and, after visiting him outside London last year on the set of “Half-Blood Prince,” it was a treat to catch up, even if his schedule required the pre-dawn appointment. Right now, Yates is in the midst of filming the final boy-wizard adventure, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which will be split into two films.
“We’re here in the forest, we’ve just finished the scene where Harry, Hermione and Ron are captured by the Snatchers after being chased through the woods. The Snatchers are brutal and scary but they aren’t the most intelligent of creatures.They’re trying to figure out exactly who it is they’ve caught.”

Additionally, the website shows a nine-minute clip of the first five movies, including never-before-seen scenes from the earlier films, which can be watched here (it is entitled Harry Potter Exclusive – A Retrospective).
JUNE 19
Rumor Alert! Tonight we have received word that retailers are beginning to hear about the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD. Apparently the DVD is set to be released during the holiday season in December, 2009 “on 1-Disc, 2-Disc, and 3-Disc DVD/Blu-Ray combo versions.” Even more interesting is the reports say this DVD may possibly, and we stress possibly, contain several sneaks previews or some sort of trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Please Note: Readers will recall of course that with the release of the Order of the Phoenix DVD we did receive two special sneaks at HBP. It is also worth pointing out that you can already sign up to be notified of the availability of the Blu-Ray Disc for Half-Blood Prince here via Amazon. HOWEVER, as exciting as all of this sounds, this is very much unconfirmed and we urge you to keep this in the rumor category for now.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in theaters July 15, 2009.
Celebrities and VIPs are expected to attend the premiere, though it is not made clear whether or not there will be any Harry Potter talent. We will have much more on this, including the specific venue and guest list, when it is made available.
