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!
Have any of you looked at the pics of Regulus at the snitchseeker, they really remind me of Gary especially his features in the bottom one or which ever one it is that hes smiling. This makes me wish november was closer but then again I miss summer, winter got long.
You’re right of course, Rachel ... I’ve obviously misread the headline and have automatically assumed they’d cast him for HBP… maybe they’ll introduce him (Regulus) in HBP and then tell his full story in DH ?
Great choices! Tom Moorcroft would have also done I pretty good job portraying the young Snape in movie 5, in my opinion. He’ll make a great Regulus though as well!!
@Prenz With Bill and Fleur not included, the only other possibility for a wedding scene I see is Tonks and Lupin. They focused on Tonks on the OotP DVD; maybe they have bigger plans for her in HBP. And the death of the couple in DH will be even more sad after we’ve seen their wedding, and more. When Harry and co. are supposed to go to Bill and Fleur’s cottage, perhaps they will go to Tonks and Lupin’s instead. I just don’t know what they’ll do about the hospital scene. Who is going to be attacked by Greyback? Surely not Lupin?
slughorn mentions regulus in hbp. He says how he would of liked the pair, Sirius and regulus, in slytherin. And I think harry is shown a picture of the slytherin quidditch team where regulus is seeker.
I’m glad Regulus will just be in one of Slughorn’s office photos, so he can explain that Sirius’ brother was in Slytherin.
Did anyone notice that one of Tom Moorcroft’s credits was as a ‘featured Hogwarts pupil’ in the 2007 Videogame (OOTP)? And so has anyone spotted him in that game?
I didn’t mean he’s not in the books at all. I meant he’s not a physicaly character in the books. He’s talked about a couple of times. But we never physically see him obviously because he’s dead. So I meant if the actor does play him it’s going to be a small role in like a photograph or something (which we know now is true) but I didn’t think he was going to be like walking around and talking and interacting with characters cause he doesn’t in the books. And I know his story is very important. He’s a pretty important character, but since we don’t see him I didn’t think they would cast him.
@Susan: Regulus is mentioned for the first time in like book 4 or 5. So we know that he exists before book 7, but I guess you probably meant we don’t find out that he’s RAB until book 7.
"Look, here come more now... You two must really smell..."[br]Harry turned. No fewer than six or seven thestrals were picking their way through the trees now, their great leathery wings folded tight to their bodies, their eyes gleaming through the darknes
