cool. they both look pretty much perfect for the parts! omg, i CAN NOT WAIT!!!

great!, but what I dont get is that regulus makes no actual appearance in the novels. not even in flashbacks. what we know of him is through what has been said about him by sirius, lupin and what the trio found in his room in DH (Photograph’s, clippings about voldemort)

Is Regulus seen in HBP? Slughorn mentions him, but that is all I remember.

I’m glad Regulus is in the storyline, but, he isn’t actually in the books. Well not physically, that is. So why are they spending time on him? You can easily get his info via people like the trio and Lupin.

This film is going to be very canon if they’ve bothered to cast the vampire! That’s so cool!

it’s cool they’re keeping Sanguini :) but i’m really wondering what they want w/ Regulus?maybe flashbacks or, dunno ,just a picture?:S

He he, I like Sanguini.

cool, i like attention to detail coz slipping Sanguini in is just for us readers i suppose but what about the characters who are actually important in HBP – the Gaunts and Riddle Sr?

Wow, Regulus is PERFECT!!!

Weird. I’m sure Regulus will just be a picture of him or something. It wouldn’t make any sense to put him in a flashback, unless you want to make him Sirius’s older brother?

It does seem weird that they would include regulus now, and not the Gaunts. However, I’m sure they can give the ring a reasonable explaination. I hope.

eszti, i think you are on the right track: having not mentioned Regulus in the OotP film created a huge gap in the story line, so now they need to go back and fill it in somehow….he needs to be introduced, most probably by Slughorn (as Donna points out)

Sanguini tho? he stands there, momentarily siddles toward the giggling girls, eats a pasty, and has no lines to speak …..if they stick to the novel

i wonder how the other story line gaps that were left in the OotP film will be handled: the locket, the two way mirror, and so on.

ohhh!!!! i really like them!!!! i guess they’ll slip regulus into a flashbabck or something so non-readers can understand the whole RAB thing in DH.

hey, Molly, hope all is well? yeah, somehow, the Gaunts and the ring need to be worked into the HBP film as well….

I agree with lily, Regulus looks JUST like I imagined him. I’m sure that even though he’ll only have a small appearance that he’ll make a big impact. I’m guessing they’ll ever-so-subtley slip him in, at some innocuous point, just like in the books, so people who haven’t read them will have him as an option to guess at for the identity of RAB.

Nice. They look fitting – I see the old Black arrogance in there! And it is cool to have details like Sanguini, although I concur with the point about the Gaunts. Ah well.

OH MY GOSH! They looks so fricken perfect! Regulus is PERFECT! And Sanguini is just like how I imagined him! I’m impressed! :D

Well this exposes how they are going to do the scene of “Kreacher’s Tale”, as Kreacher tells the tale of what Voldy did, we will not stay in the kitchen with the trio simply listening, we will be seeing the tale unfold on screen, in a flash back, very interesting.

Good choices, and I can see why they’ve cast Regulus; even though he isn’t really important until Book Seven, he is VERY important once he’s introduced. It’s a good idea, therefore, to make him a tangible, identifiable presence as early as possible, even if he wasn’t actually shown in the book; I doubt cinema audiences would much appreciated being told in the very last film that a huge plotpoint rests upon some character they’ve never even seen before…

Great news! But…is it just me, or does Tom Moorcroft look exactly like a young snape? Anyhow, yea, i’m curious to see how he’s shown. if You notice, the actor plays ages 15-20 or something similar, so i think it’s probably a flahsback…perhaps Lupin talks about him? I am sure they included him because of DH, though, and that makes me excited!

This is briliant. They can lend some visuals to Kreacher’s tale which really couldn’t do in the book because of the way the information is presented – the narrative style being first person instead of third person. This is another example of how the medium (literature v. film) work differently. It’s brilliant that they are taking advantage of the differences ot the utmost.
