There is new video online tonight from last month’s filming for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at Gloucester Cathedral in England. Cable channel E! broadcast a new interview with actors Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) that included new footage of scenes featuring Harry and Ron walking through the corridors between classes, where Ron says “I don’t want to take potions.” In the interview Tom Felton gives positive news to fans who are anxious about key elements remaining in the movie, as he says that after reading the book and comparing it to the script, he really can’t tell where there has been an obvious cut. We also hear more from Rupert and Dan in this new interview, which you can watch here in our galleries.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” continues production in England, and will be released November 21, 2008. Thanks much to Raadhikah and theDailySnitcher!
@Confused: I think they’ve used the cathedral a number of times, they have a fair few different locations that make up Hogwarts, not just one castle!
Also I don’t know how far Tom can be trusted to say that very little has been cut lol. Actors don’t always have the same opinions as crazy fans :P Still, it sounds promising!
Well if Tom doesn’t think anything major has been cut, I don’t think we have to worry.
Aaaaaaargh Rupert drives me insane. Why can’t he speak CLEARLY? He just mutters and scratches his head, no wonder he got cut off AGAIN. And he didn’t even answer the question!!
O-M-G! They actually made Harry look HOT! He looks like he should….minus the messy hair, but, dang!
I can agree 100000% with Dan on the difference between American child stars and English child stars. They are simply well grounded and made to hold respect for their elders and fellow actors. Unlike our stars, Britany Spears, who crash and burn before their 20.
I love Rupert and his dry humor, “But, I dont wanna take potions.” He’s getting cuter all the time. The magic begins, people!
@helena123 – He didn’t answer the question BECAUSE he got cut off again. I think most people can understand him, but I don’t even see the point of keeping that 2 second clip of him in their news story if they are just going to cut him off.
Was Ron’s comment about potions suppost to be hilarious.
because i thought it was, so i sent the video to all my friends on MSN and laughed until some sense was re-installed :P
@starfish, I seem to remember reading that Emma was revising or sitting exams at the time, so wasn’t filming.
Nice that they included Tom, who seems very intelligent and articulate. I’m looking forward to seeing more of him in the next two (three) films. If he thinks important stuff hasn’t been cut then it must be reasonably true, at least where his character is concerned :)
@Andrew, they wouldn’t cut off a decent answer. Rupert’s comment probably ended with a ‘yeah it’s cool’ and then nothing. Journalists have commented on how frustrating he is at interviews.
Can I just say I was actually there, in Gloucester when they were filming. They were there for three days and Emma wasnt there so I presume she wasnt in any scenes there. I think, and Im not totally sure, they were filming Dumbledores funeral. It was so great everybody was SO nice and Rupert, bless him, looked really bashful. Also because it was cold and we were waiting the crew gave us all a signed picture and chocolatte cake! And as the cast was leaving they rolled down there windows to say hi and wave and Dan’s hair looked SO much better then in OotP! Just for Id tell you all! Oh and Alan Rickman was there too!
If they were filming Dumbledore’s funeral, then Emma also should’ve been there, because Hermione is there in the funeral too. Are they going to return to Gloucestar again?
I even wonder if Tom read DH,lol!
does he usually read the books,i cannot remember if he said he has…...........
i loved it when i saw they had gone BACK to this Cathedral—it looked incrediblely in PS/SSand COS.gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i totally agree with Dan about American And English child actors[he has said before there are ,of course exceptions…..Jodie Foster being one of them….he said and he is so right] it is probubly one reason his parents did not want him making the HP filmsin Hollywood.[they are so wise]
"Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourselves?" inquired Professor Umbridge in a horribly honeyed voice.[br]"Hmm, let's think..." said Harry in a mock thoughtful voice. "Maybe [i]Lord Voldemort?[/i]"
Wow, awesome! Thanks to Tom for clearing stuff up, because now I’m sure they haven’t too much of the key stuff!! I can’t wait till November!!
