I think they just cast Regulas to do a voice over for the note. It’d be more effective than Harry reading it aloud.
This guy looks more like a young Severus Snape! Anyway as someone said earlier, it seems like we are getting a flashback of Kreature’s tale. And I LOVE flashbacks. I think thats why I like Lost a lot too! This movie will be full of them what with Gaunts, Dumbledore’s, Slughorn’s and orphanage lady memories added to the mix, have I missed any?
Regulus flashback, perhaps? Cuz I don’t remember him in HBP at all, except people talking about him. Maybe they’re casting him early and including him in this one just because? :/
I have to say he looks perfect for the part. And so does Mr. Vamp. :)
Regulus is perfect! I think maybe he will be in a wizard photograph on Slughorn’s mantelpiece, so we will see him move around. Then Slughorn will reminisce with Harry, and maybe we’ll see a little flashback as well. And maybe Slughorn will give Harry the information that Sirius gave him in OotP.
The vampire looks like a hot vampire, as he is suppoed to (all the girls giggling), but I imagined him looking a bit more comical though. I hope they do something to his make up to make him just a bit funny. And I can’t imagine them omitting a VAMPIRE if they can squeeze one in even for 5 seconds. The wizarding world needs all its exciting creatures represented…
I agree and hope when they get to DH they do Kreacher’s tale as a real flashback. Great opportunity that comes with cinema!
I like the vampire!
I like mollywobbles23 suggestion that the Regulus actor will just be used as a voiceover for the note in this film. That’s as far as it should go at this stage. For him to make a proper appearance in HBP is too obvious a clue much too soon and will ruin the suspense for DH. The identity of RAB is something people HP fandom may have guessed early, but most people will be as clueless as Jo intended them to be by the end of the sixth book, just as Harry and co are clueless. That’s how it should be until Harry finds the name on the door.
All it takes is for Slughorn to mention his name (just ‘Regulus’) into HBP . It doesn’t need spelling out any more than that a this stage.
I like the idea of a flashback to Kreacher’s tale, but for DH not HBP.
omg he looks like a young Snape!! Ack its eerie how much he looks like Snape heh. Grrr Are they ever gonna cast Bill Weasley!
just to add that it’s funny because just five minutes ago I finished watching ‘The Last Vampyre’ (Sherlock Holmes, with Jeremy Brett) on dvd before coming on here to check the news!
Sanguini is such a riot at the Xmas party. His hacky biographer is all, “No, Sanguini! No! Here, have a cracker!” Too funny. :D
As for Regulus, I do think it’s important that they show him onscreen somewhere in the film, so the audience has a chance of guessing who RAB is at the end, just as we did as readers. I like Daniela’s idea that he might show up in a photo on Slughorn’s mantel. I’m a big fan of that line in the book, when Slughorn says about the Black brothers that he’d really wanted to”collect the whole set,” or whatever. It reveals so much about Sluggy’s character, in a way that really hits me in the gut.
In any case, I think Regulus’s storyline is very interesting (his turning against the Dark Lord, his relationship with Kreacher, etc.), so I’m happy that he’ll be in the movies at all.
I like both of them! It cool that they went ahead and cast Regulus. We are going to need him for the next movie, so there may be photos or flashback sequences in HBP.
And Sanguini! OMGoodness! That guy looks awesome! And his audio samples!! That guy can read to me anytime. He has the perfect voice for a vampire. Mmmmm…
Laugh It toally broke this story on ONTD last night. I’M AHEAD OF LEAKY! XD
Very exciting. It will be interesting to see where Regulus comes in. I can see a part for him in Deathly Hallows, to make Kreacher’s story more vivid by showing it, but as for Half-Blood Prince I’m not sure.
NNONONONO!! regulus is supossed to be played by jim sturgess, the vampire guy is god…not really important.. im so disapointed :(
Cool, but they aren’t as important as other characters we haven’t heard news on. Such as the gaunts?????
PERFECT!!
