Two additional roles for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have apparently been cast. The part of Regulus Black, death eater and younger brother of Sirius Black, will be portrayed by young actor Tom Moorcroft according to this page at Spotlight.com(be sure to click for additional photos of the actor).
UK Castingcall pro also reveals that Charlie Bennison will be seen in the part of Sanguini the Vampire, who as readers will recall, is a guest at Slughorn’s dinner party.
No formal announcement has yet been made on these latest possible additions, and we will update once we can receive confirmation from WB. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in theaters November 21, 2008.Thanks Snitchseeker!
You know…honestly…..as the movies have progressed I have become more and more dissapointed…...I guess the only thing we can all hope for is maybe in about 15 or so years…they’ll remake all of the movies to be truer to the books….they have really messed up the story lines beginning with movie 3…..not sure if anyone agrees with me…but I guess that is just my hope. I mean…don’t get me wrong, the look is absolutely awesome starting with movie 3….but the stories have just basically gotten all twisted.
Well all I gotta say about the guy portraying Regulus is HUMINA HUMINA!! So even though Regulus isn’t in the book (although mentioned) I suspect that this is part of the added scene business in HBP. And glad glad glad that they have kept Sanguini should be a great scene!
@Siena, but remember, Kreacher’s tale isn’t until DH and this guy (who looks perfect for the part !) was cast for HPB. This makes me wonder if they’ll just put him in a photo or something. I agree, Regulus’s story is so fascinating.
I think they cast very good people, but I’m kind of surprised that they put in the vampire! that’s surprising since it’s not that important. By looks, I think that the guy they got for Regulus is great!
Wow, could they have cast a more perfect match for Sirius’ brother? He looks just like him, just not as cute. And thats what it says in the books. I love the Vampire! The one thing I love about the WB’s machine is they really do pick and choose carefully who plays the roles. Great job!
Christina, I completley agree with you. Im surprised too, but Im sure Yates wanted to add to the magical feel of the wizarding world. It adds more of an in depthness to Harrys world. Werewolves, elves, trolls, centaurs, hippogriffs, and now….vampires!
Good…I can see this working to DH’s benefit, too. A small scene as someone’s flashback gets elaborated.
The movie will have to have performances for the “stories” that occur in both books. For example, in DH, we can’t listen to Kreacher tell about Regulus’ heroism in DH, we’ll have to see it…it’s a movie! And it’ll be a great scene!
very interesting indeed, although i;m still concerned that they haven’t cast scrimgoeur yet….I mean, he IS the MoM. They should be focusing more on him than Sanguini. I think putting Reggie (ha) in is a brilliant idea, it would help to make a connection to his memory role in the DH movie.
great about the vampire that means the christmas party is in loved that scene in the book. im thinking that they cast regulas for HP and DH dont for get slughorn mentions him to harry when he was talking about old students he said he had rab when taught at hogwarts before. he had mentioned rab was in his house and he had wished he had had the set but sirius was in grifindor that it was odd because most families are in the same house. this way they can do a flashback to introduce him and then have him in kreachers tale in DH. they have to try and fix all the things they have been leaving out or even 2 movies out of the last book wont make any sense to the people who didn’t read them!!! anyway i cant wait till november
"We attacked a teacher... We attacked a teacher...," Hermione whimpered, staring at the lifeless Snape with frightened eyes. "Oh, we're going to be in so much [br]trouble --"
i agree deena he does look like young snape
