Thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com, we can see this new article from the June 2008 issue of Film Review, where actor Dan Radcliffe briefly discusses both the “Deathly Hallows” and “Half-Blood Prince” films. Of the upcoming sixth Harry Potter film, Dan notes:

“Harry is unhappy for a lot of this film, mainly because people keep trying to kill him. And his love life is awful, too. That’s what Jo [Rowling] does so well, combining everyday mundane problems with this incredible other world.”

Thanks Jenna!

“Harry is unhappy for a lot of this film, mainly because people keep trying to kill him. And his love life is awful, too.”

That made me giggle! Poor Harry, but it all works out in the end. ;) I think Dan understands the books so well, too, and I agree with him. Jo mixes the real life problems so well with all the fantasy stuff.

Neither does Quidditch, BonnieRadcliffe- I think they’re saving the best stuff for later. :)

I think the great thing about the HBP book is that it really is written so differently. It has this sense of blissful unawareness and happiness on top, but underneath everything is so dreadful and there really is a war going on without people knowing it truly yet. I think it’s Harry’s happy-time until he realizes that he can’t be this happy person until he defeats Voldemort and comes to grips with his fate. That’s what’s so brilliant about it.

I can’t wait for this….Seriously.

I agree dan, Jo is amazing. I can’t wait for this movie to come out. I’m so excited but at the same time I’m nervous that they might not get absolutely everything in.

We have to be careful assuming it will be released May 16. I trust Sue when she said that her source was legitimate, but I’ll just feel more comfortable about it when it is formally confirmed by WB. I guess it’s just the pessimist in me.

As for pictures, I’m pretty bummed by that too, however, that seems to be the trend this year with blockbusters. If you think about it, we really haven’t been bombarded with Indiana Jones or Dark Knight images like you think we would at this point. Also, we have to remember that OotP was released less than a year ago. It’s possible WB is trying to prevent spoilers, or perhaps they want the teaser to be the first thing the fans see.

I love how it seems as if this person’s saying that people trying to kill you is an ‘everyday mundane problem’. Beautiful….
