We have news today regarding a new actress cast in the role of Pansy Parkinson for the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." According to A &J Management actress Scarlett Byrne will take on the part of the Slytherin girlfriend of Draco Malfoy for the sixth Harry Potter film. You can see her photo here. This is the same agency that also handles actress Jessie Cave, who is portraying Lavender Brown in Half-Blood Prince.
On a related note, thanks to TLC Reader Katy, we can report Gloucester Cathedral in England will be closed on February 6, 7 and 8, with the latter two days likely to see the bulk of location filming for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As we have reported previously, a fair number of the cast, including the Trio, are due to take part in filming. Anyone who attends, please send in your photos and reports!
Thanks to Lisette, Katy and all who emailed!
She almost looks too nice a person to be pansy, though I’m sure she’ll do great.
I love the moment in Deathly Hallows where she loses it in the great hall after Voldemort’s threat and shouts “HE’S OVER THERE! SOMEBODY GRAB HIM!” I hope that stays in, though I doubt it will!
I don’t mean to be mean, but did you notice her pointy eye teeth. Really Slytherin! I also like her name, “Scarlett Byrne.” Very Slytherin! Ha!
She looks fine for what will most likely be an incidental role; Pansy’s been all but written out of the preceding five films, so it wouldn’t make a great deal of sense to push her into full prominence at this late stage. It’s nice to have her in the background, though; at least it show’s she there.
I think shes perfect for the part of Pansy, but do you know what this means maybe they are still keeping some cast from us they said in that statement they were done but what if they still announce that Bill Nighy is going to be Scrimgeour or there is a rumer that greyback is still in on IMDb?
